Summary

Shorten article URLs before cross-posting using Bitly, Rebrandly, or a built-in shortener. SocialBee, Buffer, and SNAP all offer this.

Implementation

Component Config

  • link_shortener: none / bitly / rebrandly / custom
  • bitly_api_token: API token
  • rebrandly_api_key: API key
  • custom_shortener_url: Custom API endpoint

Integration Points

  • CrossPostDispatcher::buildArticleMeta() -- shorten the URL before building placeholders
  • Cache shortened URLs per article to avoid re-shortening
  • New placeholder: {short_url} (shortened) alongside existing {url}

Bitly API

POST https://api-ssl.bitly.com/v4/shorten
{"long_url": "https://example.com/article"}

Rebrandly API

POST https://api.rebrandly.com/v1/links
{"destination": "https://example.com/article"}

Acceptance Criteria

  • Bitly integration with API token config
  • Rebrandly integration with API key config
  • {short_url} placeholder
  • Cache shortened URLs per article
  • Graceful fallback to full URL on API error
