Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the PDF.co and Bitly integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDF.co 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 PDF.co and Bitly
Google Drive + PDF.co + Bitly: When a new PDF file is added to Google Drive, PDF.co will search and replace text in the PDF (e.g., updating outdated URLs), and then Bitly will shorten any URLs within the document. The updated PDF with shortened URLs is then stored back in Google Drive.
Bitly + PDF.co + Airtable: When a Bitly link is created to a PDF document by using PDF.co, track clicks on the link and log this data to Airtable for analysis. This enables insights into PDF engagement.
