Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Ghost and Bitly integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Ghost and Bitly (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
