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.
