Share new Google Drive files in Slack as Bitly short links

When a file lands in a chosen Google Drive folder, FlowMattic creates a Bitly short link for it and posts the link to Slack, so your team can share decks, PDFs and assets with clean, trackable URLs. After import, pick the Drive folder, connect Bitly and choose the Slack channel. Make sure the folder’s sharing settings let the people you send links to open them.

It's an exceptional product. Works great and extremely valuable. I saved thousands of dollard on Zapier, as Flowmattic makes me able to host the automation myself. And very deeply integrates with the products I need.

Ease of use and terrific support from the founder. Tons of integrations and regular updates. The Flowmattic custom app is great especially if you want to integrate apps that aren't available yet inside Flowmattic.
