Workflow Description
The workflow starts from a manual execution trigger and passes one hardcoded long URL (a USC Event Calendar page with UTM parameters) into a Bitly node, which requests a shortened link from the Bitly API. There are no further nodes, scheduling, or output handling.
How it works
- 1.The manual trigger 'On clicking execute' runs the workflow only when executed from the n8n editor.
- 2.The Bitly node sends the configured long URL to Bitly and returns the shortened URL in its output.
Use cases
- Quickly verifying that a Bitly credential works in n8n.
- Producing a short link for a single fixed event page before sharing it.
Requirements
- A Bitly account and credential (API token/OAuth) configured in n8n.
- The long URL is hardcoded, so the node parameters must be edited for any different link.
Setup and testing in n8n
- Execute the workflow manually from the n8n editor.
- Check the Bitly node output contains a valid shortened URL.
Service Value
