Most powerful ways to connect Google Chat and Bitly
Google Chat + Bitly + Google Sheets: Track popular links shared in Google Chat by logging the sharer and logging clicks in a Google Sheet. When a new message with a link is posted in Google Chat, shorten the link via Bitly, then log the shortened link and the user who sent it to Google Sheets.
X (Twitter) + Bitly + Google Chat: When a Bitly link shared on X (Twitter) receives a certain amount of clicks, a celebratory message will be sent to Google Chat. This starts by searching for a post that contains a Bitly link on X (Twitter). Then it gets the shortened Bitlink details, and if the click threshold is met, it posts a celebratory message to Google Chat.
