Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Bitly and HTTP Request and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Utility, Development, and Core Nodes workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Bitly and HTTP Request

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Auto-Post Platform-Optimized Content to X and Threads with Late API and Google Sheets

X (Twitter) and Threads (by Meta) both have different maximum character lengths. Different X and Threads Content Auto Poster This n8n template demonstrates how to post different content optimized for X (Twitter) and Meta Threads using the Late API. You can use it for any niche. For example: posting AI news to X and Threads. Possible use cases: Schedule your posts to X and Threads. Use this workflow as a content calendar and automated posting system. Apply it across different content niches. How it works The automation runs according to the time defined in the Schedule Trigger node. Content is pulled from Google Sheets. Any URL is shortened using your preferred short URL API. Images are uploaded to Late’s server first. Content for X is posted in Step 2. The workflow checks that the content length is under 280 characters. Content for Threads is posted in Step 3. The workflow checks that the content length is under 500 characters. Posts on X are published as threaded posts, while on Threads they are single posts. Once posted, the Google Sheets content database is updated. Requirements Google OAuth credentials with the Google Sheets API enabled Bitly account and access token (or OAuth) GetLate API connected to your X and Threads accounts HOW TO USE STEP 1 Adjust the settings in the Schedule Trigger node to define when the workflow runs. Open this Google Sheets template, then go to File → Make a copy, and update the settings in the Get Topic node. Get your Bitly OAuth or Access Token here and add the credentials in the Short Link node. Get your API key from getlate.dev and add the credentials in the Upload IMG node. STEP 2 Add your Late credentials to the Post Twitter node. Get your Twitter account ID from Late, and update it in the JSON Body section of the Post Twitter node. STEP 3 Add your Late credentials to the Post Threads node. Get your Threads account ID from Late, and update it in the JSON Body section of the Post Threads node.
