Practical ways you can use Bitly and Google Drive

Track file updates through shortened URLs

When a file in Google Drive gets updated, Zapier can trigger an action to create a short Bitly link for this updated file and save it in Google Drive or share it directly. This makes it easier for business owners to track revisions and share the latest version efficiently.

Business Owner
Organize newly created Bitly links in a folder

When a new Bitly shortened URL is created, Zapier can auto-generate a document in Google Drive that logs these links within a specified folder. This helps engineers manage and document usage statistics with minimal effort.

Engineering
Save shortened URLs for newly uploaded files

Whenever a new file is uploaded to a Google Drive folder, Zapier can automatically create a corresponding shortened URL with Bitly and save it to your Google Drive. This simplifies sharing assets, and ensures you always have an easily shareable link ready for important marketing resources.
