Depending on your setup, data should flow between Bitly and Firecrawl (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Bitly and Firecrawl
Bitly + Firecrawl + Google Sheets: When a website is crawled by Firecrawl, the results, specifically URLs, are shortened using Bitly. The original URL, the shortened URL, and crawl data are then added as a new row to a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
Firecrawl + Bitly + Slack: When Firecrawl crawls a URL and detects a broken link, the broken link is shortened using Bitly. A message containing the original broken link and the shortened Bitlink is then sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the team for quick fixes.
