How to shorten Google Drive links with Zapier

Google's URL shortener service, goo.gl, has been shut down, leaving users looking for alternative ways to shorten links. Zapier offers automated workflows called Zaps that can generate shortened file links with popular URL shorteners like Bitly. By creating a new file in a Google Drive location and setting up a trigger, users can automate the process of shortening their Google URLs. The trigger can be customized to watch for new files in a specific folder or use a pre-made workflow template. Once set up, the Zap can create shortened links with Bitly and store them for later use. Additionally, Zapier offers other templates for shortening Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms URLs, as well as a built-in URL Shortener tool that can be accessed through its Chrome extension.
