Overview

This Plug-in provides a function that uses the Bitly API to generate a shortened URL. Designers simply call the function getShortenedURL from any Appian process or user interface, passing in a full URL and a developer key.

Syntax: getShortenedURL(String longURL, String bitlyUsername, String apiKey)

Uses:

• Display shorter, more readable URLs in your Appian user interfaces

You need to open a Bitly's API developer account to use this expression. You need username and API key from your developer's account.
