Connect Bitly and Recurly
When New Group fires in Bitly, your agent runs Add invoice in Recurly, or Prerenewal of subscription in Recurly to Update a User in Bitly. 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.

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)Recurly handles the accounts, subscriptions and invoices; Bitly handles the short links and QR codes your billing emails and renewal pages point at. Joining them means a renewal coming up in Recurly can produce the right tracked link in Bitly, and new groups or tags in Bitly can create the matching account or coupon in Recurly.

Questions
Bitly and Recurly, answered
Which Recurly event can start a Bitly action?
Recurly offers the prerenewal event, which fires before a subscription renews, and that can lead into Bitly actions such as creating a Bitlink, adding a branded custom Bitlink or generating a QR code image. The agent tests every scenario you describe before it goes live.
Can the workflow use details from the Recurly account, not just the subscription?
Yes. After the prerenewal event the agent can run Get subscription and Get account in Recurly, use those fields when building the Bitly link, and then write the result back with Update account.
What can start an automation from Bitly?
Any of Bitly's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New Group, New Tag in Group, New Bitlink in Group and New Branded Short Domain. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Recurly when something happens in Bitly?
Any of Recurly's 75 actions, including Add coupon, Create account, Get subscription and Create line item. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Recurly to Bitly?
Yes. When something happens in Recurly, your agent can act in Bitly too. This page covers both directions: Recurly's triggers and Bitly's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Bitly or Recurly?
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 Bitly and Recurly 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.
