Limitations and considerations
-
This integration runs through a third-party automation platform, so it depends on that platform's uptime, plan limits, and task quotas.
-
Bitly Analytics tracks clicks on Bitly short links only. Clicks on links that were not shortened through Bitly will not appear in your Bitly dashboard.
-
Some Bitly features, such as custom branded domains and advanced analytics, require a paid Bitly plan and are not available on free accounts.
-
Automation workflows require an active account on both Bitly and the automation platform you use to connect the two tools.
