How to connect Ably and Short.io

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Ably and Short.io nodes using the HTTP Request nodes

Add the HTTP Request nodes onto your workflow canvas. Set credentials for Ably and Short.io as appropriate using generic authentication methods. The HTTP Request nodes make custom API calls to Ably and Short.io to query the data you need. Configure nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Ably and Short.io

A connection establishes a link between Ably and Short.io (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
