Automate your Bitly integrations

Bitly allows you to easily save, share, and discover links from the web. By integrating Bitly with IFTTT, you can automate the process of shortening links and sharing them across various platforms, streamlining your online content distribution.

Create your own Bitly workflow

Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.

2 triggers, queries, and actions

Any new bitlink

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This Trigger fires every time you create a new bitlink.

Add a bitlink

Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This Action will shorten and add a new bitlink to your bitly account.
