Shorten, expand, retag and measure Bitlinks (Bitly API v4).
OCNORA ships 18 typed Bitly operations. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run. Endpoints not covered by a typed node are called at https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4 through the HTTP node with the same credential.
Before you connect Bitly
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0, Bearer token — any one of these.
- Credential
- {"access_token": "…"} — a Bitly generic access token, or {"client_id": "…", "client_secret": "…", "refresh_token": "…"}
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.

A sample Bitly workflow
- 1A core triggerStart the run from a chat, form, manual, schedule, webhook, workflow trigger — no Bitly trigger is needed.
- 2Get Bitlinkbitly.get_bitlinkRetrieve the full record for one Bitlink, including its title, tags, archived flag and any custom back-halves.
- 3Bulk Update Bitlinksbitly.bulk_update_bitlinksArchive, unarchive or retag up to 100 Bitlinks in one call, reporting which ids Bitly changed and which it left alone.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.
Operations 18
- Bulk Update BitlinksArchive, unarchive or retag up to 100 Bitlinks in one call, reporting which ids Bitly changed and which it left alone.bitly.bulk_update_bitlinks
- Create BitlinkCreate a Bitlink with a title, tags, an expiry or a custom back-half keyword, or add a keyword to a Bitlink that already exists.bitly.create_bitlink
- Delete BitlinkDelete an unedited hash Bitlink; Bitly refuses a Bitlink that has been customised, so the result names the ids it actually removed.bitly.delete_bitlink
- Expand BitlinkReturn the destination URL behind a Bitlink with the connection's credential, without following the redirect.bitly.expand
- Get BitlinkRetrieve the full record for one Bitlink, including its title, tags, archived flag and any custom back-halves.bitly.get_bitlink
- Get Clicks Over TimeReturn the click count for one Bitlink per time bucket, so a workflow can chart or threshold the series.bitly.get_clicks
- Get Clicks SummaryReturn a single rolled-up click total for one Bitlink over the requested window of time.bitly.get_clicks_summary
- Get GroupRetrieve one Bitly group's record, including its name and organization.bitly.get_group
- Get Clicks By CountryReturn the clicks on one Bitlink broken down by visitor country.bitly.get_metrics_by_country
- Get Clicks By DeviceReturn the clicks on one Bitlink broken down by device type.bitly.get_metrics_by_device
- Get Clicks By ReferrerReturn the clicks on one Bitlink broken down by referring source.bitly.get_metrics_by_referrer
- Get Current UserRetrieve the user the credential belongs to, including the default_group_guid the other nodes fall back to.bitly.get_user
- List BitlinksList a group's Bitlinks, newest first, with an optional search term, tag filter and created-date window.bitly.list_bitlinks
- List Branded DomainsList the branded short domains this account may shorten to, which are the valid values for a node's domain field.bitly.list_bsds
- List Group TagsList the tags in use across a group's Bitlinks or QR codes.bitly.list_group_tags
- List GroupsList the Bitly groups this credential can reach, which is where a group_guid for the other nodes comes from.bitly.list_groups
- Shorten LinkShorten a long URL into a Bitlink, reusing the existing Bitlink when the same URL was already shortened in this group.bitly.shorten
- Update BitlinkChange a Bitlink's title, tags, destination, expiry or archived state; at least one of those fields must be set.bitly.update_bitlink
Bitly questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with Bitly?
- With a stored OAuth 2.0 or Bearer token credential, shaped {"access_token": "…"} — a Bitly generic access token, or {"client_id": "…", "client_secret": "…", "refresh_token": "…"}. A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with Bitly?
- 18 typed operations, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the Bitly operation I need is not listed?
- Call https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4 from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use Bitly?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are Bitly calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
