How Bitly works with Reddit

Connect via no-code automation

You can connect Bitly and Reddit without writing a single line of code. Tools like Zapier let you build automated workflows between the two platforms—this is a third-party integration and is not officially supported or endorsed by Bitly or Reddit.

Trigger a new Bitly short link to be created each time a specific Reddit event occurs, such as a new post going live.
Pass Reddit post data—like the destination URL—directly into Bitly to generate a branded, trackable link automatically.
Route the resulting Bitly link back into your workflow so it's ready to use in notifications, reports, or other connected tools.

Limitations and considerations

This is a third-party integration built through automation platforms such as Zapier—Bitly and Reddit do not offer a native, direct connection.
A paid or free tier account on a third-party automation platform is required to build and run these workflows.
Workflow reliability depends on the automation platform you choose—if that service experiences downtime, link creation may be delayed.
Link analytics reflect clicks on the Bitly short link only; Reddit's own post metrics are tracked separately within Reddit's platform.
