Hi
If you have a paid plan with Zapier (ie one that allows more than one action) then you could set up a Zap that shortens the link with bit.ly and then use the output of the link in the RSS feed step. So that would like a but like this:
ok
the below tweets are generated using rss feeds. 1. from one rss feed tools that integrates bit.ly and 2. is from zapier rss feed zap. I wanna know how to achieve a bit.ly link using zapier rss tool?

I just want to be able to use bit.ly instead of zapier link shortener when posting from zapier rss tool.
I’m not sure I understand - Can you give me something visual to show where you would like the link?
ok great so that creates a bit-link: bit how do i get said bit.link back into the shortened zapier link? eg if i set to use zapier shortener in a twitter zap?
Hey! Yes, there is. You can just send the URL to Bit.ly:
Here’s a quick example of sending a URL from Airtable to Bitly which you can copy:
