How to connect Bitly and GoCanvas
Create a New Scenario to Connect Bitly and GoCanvas
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Bitly, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Bitly or GoCanvas will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Bitly or GoCanvas, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Bitly Node
Select the Bitly node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Bitly, GoCanvas, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Bitly and GoCanvas integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Bitly and GoCanvas (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 GoCanvas
GoCanvas + Bitly + Google Sheets: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, create a shortened Bitly link for it. Add the GoCanvas submission data, including the shortened Bitly link, to a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
GoCanvas + Bitly + Slack: When a new GoCanvas submission is received, a Bitly link is created to direct users to the form. This shortened link is then shared in a dedicated Slack channel for quick access and easy sharing.
