How to connect GoCanvas and Bitly
Create a New Scenario to Connect GoCanvas and Bitly
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 GoCanvas, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, GoCanvas or Bitly will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find GoCanvas or Bitly, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the GoCanvas Node
Select the GoCanvas node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the GoCanvas and Bitly Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring GoCanvas, Bitly, 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 GoCanvas and Bitly integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between GoCanvas and Bitly (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect GoCanvas and Bitly
GoCanvas + Bitly + Google Sheets: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, a shortened Bitlink is created for the submission link. The original link and the shortened Bitlink are then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for easy sharing and tracking.
GoCanvas + Bitly + Slack: When a new submission is received in GoCanvas, a shortened Bitlink is created for the submission. This shortened link, along with a notification, is then sent to a designated Slack channel for quick team access and review.
