"New Bitlink Created" can start a flow that runs "Archive Bitlink", and you can chain Bitly together with any of 760+ other apps and AI steps in between.

Can I self-host the Bitly integration?

Yes. Activepieces is fully self-hostable, so you can run the Bitly piece on your own infrastructure with your connections and your data staying in your environment.

Can my AI agent use Bitly as a tool?

Yes. Every piece you connect can be exposed over one Activepieces MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client can call Bitly actions as tools.
