Effortless Slack to Bitly URL Generation with Smart UTM Tagging
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the creation of short Bitly links directly from Slack conversations. This workflow intelligently extracts necessary information to generate shortened URLs with proper UTM parameters, streamlining your marketing tracking.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow, 'Slack+Bitly URL Generator,' revolutionizes how you share and track links. Triggered by a Slack app mention, it leverages an AI agent powered by OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) to precisely extract and standardize target URLs and UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign, term, content) from your messages. It then uses Bitly to generate a shortened URL and logs all details, including the original URL and UTM parameters, into a Google Sheet. This ensures all your shared links are concise, trackable, and conform to best practices, saving you manual effort and improving campaign analytics.
Key Features
- Slack Integration: Initiate URL shortening directly from your Slack channel.
- AI-Powered Extraction: Intelligently identifies and standardizes URLs and UTM parameters.
- Smart UTM Tagging: Enforces best practices for lowercase, underscore-separated UTM values and a curated list of
utm_mediumoptions. - Bitly URL Shortening: Generates concise Bitly links for easier sharing.
- Automated Logging: Records all generated links and UTM data in Google Sheets for easy analysis.
How To Use
- Set up Slack Trigger: Configure the 'Slack Trigger' node to listen for app mentions in your desired Slack channel.
- Configure AI Agent: The 'AI Agent' node is pre-configured with a system message to guide the AI in extracting and standardizing URLs and UTM parameters. Ensure your OpenAI API key is set up in n8n.
- Connect OpenAI: Ensure the 'OpenAI Chat Model' node is connected to your OpenAI API and set to use 'gpt-4o-mini' or a similar model.
- Configure Memory: The 'Simple Memory' node helps maintain context within conversations. Ensure the
sessionKeyis correctly referencing the Slack channel. - Set up Bitly Integration: Connect your Bitly account to n8n. The 'Bitly' node will use your credentials to create shortened URLs.
- Configure Google Sheets: Connect your Google account to n8n and select or create the Google Sheet where you want to log the generated link data. Map the output fields from the AI agent and Bitly node to the correct columns in your sheet.
