Create Short URL and Get Statistics with YOURLS

This n8n workflow simplifies URL management by using the YOURLS node to shorten a specified long URL (e.g., a Medium article) and add a custom title, then immediately fetches detailed statistics for the newly created short URL using another YOURLS operation.

Benefits include quick link generation for campaigns, real-time performance insights like clicks and referrers without manual dashboard checks, and seamless integration into larger marketing automations. It saves time for content creators and digital marketers by automating repetitive tasks.

Use cases: Embed in email campaigns to track engagement, monitor social media link clicks, A/B test headlines with titled shorts, or integrate with CRMs for lead tracking. Manually triggered, it's perfect for on-demand shortening during content publishing.
