About This Workflow
This n8n workflow empowers users to automate their link shortening processes using the Biourl API. Upon receiving a webhook request, the workflow triggers an HTTP POST request to Biourl's url/add endpoint. It supports a rich set of parameters for customizing the shortened URL, including privacy settings, custom slugs, password protection, expiry dates, splash pages, and meta information for better SEO and social sharing. Advanced targeting capabilities allow for dynamic redirection based on device, language, or geographic location. The workflow concludes by responding to the webhook with the shortened URL, completing the automation loop.
