Latenode

Automatically generate T.LY short links for new WordPress blog posts

This template watches a WordPress.com site for new posts, sends the permalink to T.LY from a JavaScript node, and stores the short URL next to the post id. Connect WordPress.com. Put the T.LY API key in that JavaScript node. Use the Latenode database table you pick as the lookup.

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.

How it works

1
Trigger

Watch WordPress.com posts

The scenario starts when a new post is published on the WordPress.com site you connect.

2
Logic

Shorten the URL with T.LY

JavaScript sends the permalink to T.LY and returns the short link. Put the T.LY API key in that JavaScript node.

3
Action

Store the short link

The Latenode database saves post id, permalink, and the T.LY URL so you can reuse it later.

Setup guide

1

Connect WordPress.com

Add a WordPress.com connection and watch new posts on the site you publish from.

2

Call T.LY from JavaScript

Add a JavaScript node that posts the permalink to T.LY and returns the short link. Put the T.LY API key in that JavaScript node.

3

Save the lookup row

Write post id, permalink, and the T.LY URL into a Latenode database table. Publish a test post and confirm the short link is stored.

Requirements

A WordPress.com site Latenode can watch for new posts
A T.LY account and API key stored in the JavaScript node
A Latenode database table for post id, permalink, and short URL
