Property Link Shortening and QR Codes

Tools that fit

Watch out for

• ⚠ Bitly API rate limits can block the run, add exponential backoff logic to retry requests after delays.
• ⚠ QR code images may exceed Google Sheets cell size constraints, so resize the image or store it in Drive and link to it instead.
• ⚠ Authentication tokens for Bitly expire periodically, implement a refresh mechanism or use long-lived access tokens to avoid silent failures.
• ⚠ Duplicate property URLs might generate redundant short links, add a check to skip processing if the URL already exists in the sheet.
