Quick answer: Yes. Bitly's ChatGPT plugin connects your Bitly account to ChatGPT, so you can create short links and QR Codes, set up campaigns, and check click and scan analytics by chatting. To get started, open Bitly's ChatGPT page on the Apps and Integrations Marketplace, select Connect Bitly and ChatGPT, and approve the connection to your Bitly account.
Using Bitly's custom GPT? OpenAI is retiring custom GPTs and recommends plugins instead. Bitly's custom GPT stops working when OpenAI retires custom GPTs, planned for December 2026. Connect Bitly's ChatGPT plugin to keep using Bitly in ChatGPT. The links and QR Codes you created with the custom GPT stay in your Bitly account. For OpenAI's timeline, see GPTs in ChatGPT.
What is Bitly's ChatGPT plugin?
Bitly's ChatGPT plugin is an integration that securely connects ChatGPT to your Bitly account. Once it's connected, you can ask ChatGPT to shorten links, create QR Codes, add UTM parameters, and compare performance, without leaving your chat.
Everything you create is saved to your Bitly account. Open it in Bitly anytime for advanced customization, detailed reporting, or account management.
What do I need to use it?
