Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Google Forms, 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 Google Forms and Bitly integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms 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 Google Forms and Bitly

Google Forms + Bitly + Google Sheets: When a new form is submitted in Google Forms, the workflow shortens any URLs found in the response using Bitly, and then saves the original response data, including the shortened URLs, to a new row in Google Sheets.

Bitly + Google Forms + Slack: When a new Bitlink is created in Bitly, this workflow posts a message to a Slack channel with a link to a Google Form, allowing team members to provide feedback on the content the Bitlink redirects to.
