About This Workflow
This n8n workflow leverages the power of the Dub.co API to streamline URL shortening. It provides a robust solution for creating branded or randomized short links, essential for marketing campaigns, internal tracking, and improving user experience. The workflow guides you through the necessary API authentication and allows for customization of your short URLs with custom slugs and domains. It handles both the creation of new links and retrieval of existing ones, ensuring efficient management of your link inventory. With built-in error handling and clear configuration steps, this workflow is perfect for operations teams looking to enhance their link management strategies.
Key Features
- Automated Link Creation: Instantly generate short URLs using the Dub.co API.
- Customizable Short Links: Define your own slugs and select custom domains for branded URLs.
- Flexible Configuration: Easily set up API keys, project slugs, and URL details.
- API Rate Limit Awareness: Notes included to guide you on Dub.co's API limits (10 requests per second).
- Robust API Integration: Utilizes n8n's HTTP Request node for reliable communication with Dub.co.
How To Use
- Obtain Dub.co API Key: Generate an API token from your Dub.co settings (https://app.dub.co/settings/tokens).
- Configure API Auth Node: In the 'API Auth' node, replace the placeholder values with your actual 'Dub API Key', 'Project Slug', and optionally, 'Custom Slug' and 'Custom Domain'.
- Set Long URL: In the 'API Auth' node, specify the 'Long URL' you wish to shorten.
- Connect Nodes: Ensure the 'When clicking "Test Workflow"' node triggers the 'API Auth' node, which then connects to the 'CREATE' (HTTP Request) node.
- Conditional Logic: The 'CREATE' node connects to the 'IF Slug available' node. If the link creation is successful (status code 200), the workflow proceeds to potentially retrieve link details.
- Test Workflow: Click the 'Test Workflow' button to execute the automation and create your short URL.
