How to connect Microsoft SQL Server and Bitly
Create a New Scenario to Connect Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Microsoft SQL Server or Bitly will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Microsoft SQL Server or Bitly, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Microsoft SQL Server Node
Select the Microsoft SQL Server node from the app selection panel on the right.


Microsoft SQL Server

Configure the Microsoft SQL Server
Click on the Microsoft SQL Server node to configure it. You can modify the Microsoft SQL Server URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Bitly Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Microsoft SQL Server node, select Bitly from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Bitly.

Authenticate Bitly
Now, click the Bitly node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Bitly settings. Authentication allows you to use Bitly through Latenode.
Configure the Microsoft SQL Server and Bitly Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server, 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 Microsoft SQL Server and Bitly integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server and Bitly
Bitly + Microsoft SQL Server + Google Sheets: This automation tracks clicks on shortened Bitly links. When a Bitly link receives a click, the automation expands the link, retrieves associated data from Microsoft SQL Server using the expanded URL as a key, and then logs the Bitly click and related SQL Server data into a Google Sheet.
Bitly + Microsoft SQL Server + Slack: This automation monitors clicks on Bitly links. When a Bitly link associated with a specific record in Microsoft SQL Server reaches a predefined click threshold (tracked using Microsoft SQL Server/Actions/Select Row and Bitly/Actions/Expand Bitlink to find the appropriate entry), a Slack message is sent to a designated channel to alert the team.
