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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Knack, 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 Knack and Bitly integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack 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 Knack and Bitly
Knack + Bitly + Google Sheets: When a new record is created in Knack, shorten a URL associated with that record using Bitly. Then, add a row to a Google Sheet to track the Knack record ID and the shortened Bitly link.
Knack + Bitly + Slack: When a new record is created in Knack, a Bitly link is generated. Get the details of that Bitlink and if the number of clicks exceeds a threshold, send a Slack message to a specified channel.
