Automated URL Shortening with Bitly in n8n

This workflow automates the process of shortening URLs using Bitly within n8n. Starting with a manual trigger, the user initiates the workflow by clicking a button. The workflow then automatically takes a specified long URL—such as an event page on USC’s calendar—and converts it into a shorter, more shareable link via the Bitly service. This is particularly useful for marketers, event organizers, or content creators who need to share clean, concise links across social media, emails, or messaging platforms. The setup leverages the Bitly node integrated with API credentials, ensuring seamless and quick URL shortening without manual copying and pasting. Overall, this workflow simplifies link management and supports professional sharing practices.
