- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in HubSpot to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account

- Step 02
Authenticate Bitly
Click "Add Connection" and select Bitly from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Bitly's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your campaigns, audiences, and analytics data. You control which lists and campaigns the integration can modify.

Is my Bitly data secure when connected to HubSpot?
