Limitations and considerations
-
This integration requires a third-party automation tool like Zapier to connect Bitly and Kit.
-
Some automation platforms may have usage limits or require paid plans for higher-volume workflows.
-
Link creation happens when your automation triggers, so there may be a brief delay before links are generated.
-
Advanced Bitly features like custom domains or bulk link creation may require a paid Bitly plan.
