Integration
Connect Aplos and Bitly
When New contact fires in Aplos, your agent runs Update a User in Bitly, or New Tag in Group in Bitly to Find contacts in Aplos. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Aplos holds your contacts, contributions and funds; Bitly holds the short links and QR codes you put on appeals, bulletins and donor emails. Joining them means a new contribution or contact in Aplos can create or retitle the right branded Bitlink, and Bitly events like a new branded domain or tag can be checked against Aplos purposes or billed as a payable.

Questions
Aplos and Bitly, answered
Can the link Bitly creates reflect which fund or purpose the gift went to?
Yes. A new contribution in Aplos can be read back with Get contribution and matched against List purposes, then Bitly can add a custom branded Bitlink and set its title from the purpose name.
What happens on the Aplos side when something changes in Bitly?
Bitly triggers such as a new branded short domain or a new tag in a group can look up Aplos records with Find contacts, Find contributions or List purposes, or record a bill with Add payable. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live.
What can start an automation from Aplos?
Any of Aplos's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New contact, New contribution and New or updated contact. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Bitly when something happens in Aplos?
Any of Bitly's 25 actions, including Create Bitlink, Shorten a Link, Create an inline CSV export for a group and Update a Group. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Bitly to Aplos?
Yes. When something happens in Bitly, your agent can act in Aplos too. This page covers both directions: Bitly's triggers and Aplos's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Aplos or Bitly?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Aplos and Bitly without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
