Frequently Asked Questions about OneDrive + URL Shortener by Zapier integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with OneDrive and URL Shortener by Zapier
How do I set up an integration between OneDrive and URL Shortener by Zapier?
To set up the integration, you need to create a zap in your Zapier account. Start by selecting OneDrive as your trigger app and choose a trigger event, such as 'New File' or 'Updated File'. Next, select URL Shortener by Zapier as the action app and choose an action like 'Create Short URL'. Connect both of your accounts in Zapier to finalize the setup.
What triggers can I use with OneDrive in this integration?
Our integration supports various triggers with OneDrive including 'New File', 'Updated File', and 'New Folder'. These triggers help automate processes when these events occur in your OneDrive account.
Can I shorten a URL automatically every time a new file is added to a specific folder in OneDrive?
Yes, you can. By setting a zap with the trigger 'New File in Folder' for OneDrive, you can specify which folder should be monitored. Then, select the action ‘Create Short URL’ with URL Shortener by Zapier to automatically generate short links for new files added.
What types of actions are available with URL Shortener by Zapier?
With our integration, you can perform actions such as ‘Create Short URL’, which allows you to take long URLs from any source and instantly convert them into short links through our platform for easier sharing.
Does this integration support updating existing files with newly shortened URLs?
Currently, this setup is designed primarily for creating new short URLs rather than updating existing files with them directly. You would need another process to update documents if required after shortening URLs.
Is there any limit on the number of URLs I can shorten using this integration?
The number of URLs you can shorten may depend on your Zapier plan's task limits. Each instance of shortening a URL counts as one task against your monthly usage allowance.
Can I customize the domain used for shortened links in this integration?
By default, our tool uses standard domains available within the URL Shortener service. Custom domains aren't supported directly through this integration without additional setup outside of Zapier.
