Bitly is a link management platform that lets you harness the power of your links by shortening, sharing, managing and analyzing links to your content.

In order to integrate Bitly with Relyance AI you will need a **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.

#### In Bitly:

1. Login to your Bitly account.
2. In the left-hand navigation menu click **Settings**.
3. This will open the **Setting** sub-menu, under the **Developer settings** section click **API**.
4. Click the **Register new app** button.
5. Fill out the Register OAuth application form: **Application name**: Provide a meaningful name (e.g. Relyance Scan) **Application link**: https://www.relyance.ai **Redirect URIs**: https://root.relyance.ai/api/oauth2 **Application description (optional)**: Provided a meaningful description
6. Click **Save**.
7. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** to be used in Relyance.

## If the connection reports Connected but returns nothing

These are the ways this integration comes back empty without reporting an error. Generated from the integration catalog, so it tracks what the connection actually asks for.

1. **Authorised, then empty.** The connection carries an authorisation, not a password: it stops returning data if the account that granted it loses access, its own permissions narrow, or the grant is revoked at the vendor. None of that reports an error here -- the connection keeps its last status until the next scan.
2. **A credential rotated at the vendor is not picked up here.** **Client Secret** is stored when you save the connection, so regenerating the value at the vendor breaks the next scan until it is re-pasted here. Recording the expiry on the connection means Relyance warns you before it lapses.

## Manage this integration with Terraform

Connections for this integration can be managed as code with the [Relyance Terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Relyance/relyance/latest). Non-secret fields go in `auth.params`; secret fields go in `auth.secrets_wo`, which is write-only — never stored in Terraform state. Rotate secrets by bumping `auth.secrets_wo_version`.

The **OAuth (browser authorization)** method uses a browser authorization flow, so the connection is created in the Relyance app. Manage it in Terraform afterwards by importing it (`terraform import relyance_integration_connection.example bitly/<connection_id>`) or reading it with the `relyance_integration_connection` data source.
