Bitly consultants

Q: Does Bitly have an n8n node?

Yes. The Bitly n8n node lets you create shortened links, update existing ones, and retrieve click statistics. This means you can build workflows where links are created automatically as part of a campaign launch, and click data is pulled into your reporting tools on a schedule.

Q: Can Bitly links be created automatically when we launch a campaign?

Absolutely. We set up n8n workflows where adding a new campaign to your project management or CRM tool triggers automatic Bitly link creation for each campaign asset. The short links are then stored back against the campaign record, so your team doesn't need to create them manually.

Q: How do we get Bitly click data into our reporting dashboards?

We build n8n workflows that pull Bitly click statistics on a schedule, whether that's hourly, daily, or weekly, and push the data into Google Sheets, a BI tool, or your CRM. This gives you a consolidated view of link performance alongside your other marketing metrics.

Q: Can Bitly be integrated with our CRM to track which leads clicked which links?

Yes. By using Bitly's click data and matching it with CRM contact records, we can build workflows that attribute link clicks to individual leads or accounts. This is particularly useful for sales teams who want to know which prospects are engaging with content.

Q: Do we need a paid Bitly plan for integrations?

Bitly's free plan has API access but with rate limits and fewer features. For business integrations, a paid plan gives you branded domains, higher API limits, and better analytics. We'll advise on the right plan during scoping based on your expected link volume.

Q: Can Bitly generate QR codes automatically through n8n?

Bitly generates QR codes for every short link it creates. Through n8n, we can automate the creation of these links and then retrieve the associated QR codes for use in print materials, event signage, or product packaging workflows.

We can help you automate your business with Bitly and hundreds of other systems to improve efficiency and productivity. Get in touch if you’d like to discuss implementing Bitly.

About Bitly

Bitly is a link management platform that shortens URLs, generates QR codes, and tracks click-through data. It’s widely used by marketing teams and agencies to create branded short links for campaigns, social media posts, and email marketing, while getting analytics on who clicks what and when.

On its own, Bitly is a useful tool. Connected to the rest of your marketing stack, it becomes much more powerful. Using n8n, we integrate Bitly with CRM systems, email platforms, and analytics dashboards so that link creation, tracking, and reporting all happen automatically rather than manually.

Osher helps Australian businesses connect Bitly to their existing marketing and sales automation tools. If your team is manually creating short links, copying click data into spreadsheets, or losing track of which campaign links belong where, we can automate the entire process.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Bitly

As Bitly consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Bitly with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Review Your Link Management Process

We look at how your team currently creates, distributes, and tracks links across campaigns and channels. This includes understanding your branding requirements for short links, the volume of links you create, and what analytics you need.

Step 2

Design the Automation Flow

Based on your requirements, we map out the trigger points and actions. A typical flow might be: new campaign created in your CRM triggers Bitly link creation, the short link is stored against the campaign, and click data is synced back daily.

Step 3

Configure Bitly and Connect via n8n

We set up your Bitly workspace with the right branded domain and group settings, then connect it to n8n using the Bitly node. Authentication is configured securely using your Bitly API token stored in n8n’s credential manager.

Step 4

Build the Workflows

We build and test each n8n workflow, from automatic link creation through to click data retrieval and reporting. Each workflow includes error handling for API rate limits and validation to prevent duplicate link creation.

Step 5

Test Across Channels

We verify that links work correctly across all your marketing channels, email, social media, SMS, and print QR codes. We also test the analytics pipeline to make sure click data arrives accurately in your reporting tools.

Step 6

Go Live and Document

The workflows are deployed to production, and we provide your team with documentation covering how links are created, where click data is stored, and how to modify the setup for new campaigns or channels.
