Send Bitly links to WhatsApp with a webhook
Put the link and the reason for sharing it into one WhatsApp message, without switching apps to copy and paste.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A shortened link can be ready to go while the message explaining it is still stuck in your notes or clipboard.
- Share a short link and its context together.
- Reduce manual copy and paste between tools.
- Keep the message concise and ready to act on.
Setup

- 1Connect Bitly and WhatsApp in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe it to Notis from any channel.
- 3Tell Notis to send the supplied Bitly short link and sharing context to your WhatsApp contact.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real link and a recipient who has texted your WhatsApp number first.
Questions about this workflow
Does Bitly start this automation automatically?
No. Bitly has no trigger events in this workflow package. A Notis webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request is sent.
Can WhatsApp send the message to any number?
The listed Send message action delivers only if the recipient has texted your number first. For messages outside the 24-hour window, use an approved template action.
