Questions about this workflow
Will this post a reply to the discussion?
No. The available Cutt ly action only retrieves recently shortened URLs and their details.
Can it identify links mentioned in a discussion message?
The available Cutt ly action does not provide discussion content matching. Ask Notis to report the returned link details, and supply extra context if you need a specific match.
