The bit.ly, j.mp, and su.pr actions support API keys and history.</p> <p><b>Snow Leopard Users:</b></p> <p>These actions work in Snow Leopard Services.</p> <p><b>Usage Notes:</b></p> <ul><li>These actions DO NOT put the shortened URL into the clipboard.  You must add the “Copy to Clipboard” action from the “Utilities” category to the workflow for this functionality.</li> <li>If blocks of URLs are being recognized as one long URL, add a “Run shell script” (bash) action before the URL action in the workflow.  This is due to AppleScript’s handling of strings and lists.  Do not add any shell script to the bash window, just leave it as the default. </li> </ul><ul></ul><p><b><a href="http://bit.ly/urlactions">Download.</a></b></p> <p><b><a href="http://actions.chadross.org/post/222642973/example-using-the-shortenurl-automator-action">Workflow Example.</a></b></p>http://actions.chadross.org/post/216564874http://actions.chadross.org/post/216564874Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:41:00 -0500appleautomatorsnow leopardurl shortenerbitlytinyurlos xapplescriptapi
