Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Bitly, Youform, 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 Youform integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Bitly and Youform (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 Youform
Youform + Bitly + Google Sheets: When a new form submission is received in Youform, a shortened Bitly link is created for the submission. This link, along with the submission data, is then added as a new row in Google Sheets for tracking and analytics.
Youform + Bitly + Twitter: Upon receiving a new submission in Youform, a shortened Bitly link is automatically generated. This shortened link is then shared on Twitter with a predefined message.
