Latenode

Automate URL Shortening for Zoho Forms Submissions

This template shortens a URL from each Zoho Forms submission and stores the short link on that record. Point Zoho Forms webhooks at a Latenode webhook.

JavaScript calls your URL shortener API, then writes the short URL back through the Zoho Forms API. Put the shortener API key in that JavaScript node, and the Zoho Forms API key in the same node.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

Setup guide

1

Create the Latenode webhook

Add a webhook trigger and paste the URL into Zoho Forms webhook settings for new submissions.

2

Store the API keys

Add a JavaScript node. Put your URL shortener API key there, and your Zoho Forms API key in the same node.

3

Map, shorten, and save

Read the long URL from the submission, call the shortener API, then update the Zoho Forms record with the short URL. Submit a test entry and confirm the field is filled.
