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.

The scenario starts when a new file appears in the Google Drive folder you choose.
Google Drive returns the sharing URL for that file.
Bitly shortens that Drive URL and stores the bitlink on your Bitly account.
Add a Google Drive connection with access to the folder you share from. Add a trigger for new or changed files and select that folder.
Add a Bitly connection and paste your Bitly API key there.
Get the Drive sharing link for the new file, then create a Bitly bitlink from that URL. Drop a test file and confirm the short link appears in Bitly.
