The line where shortenUrl is set should be changed to this "set @shortenUrl = Concat(@bitlyUrl,@link,"&format=txt")" | |
| Jul 17, 2019 at 6:47 | comment | added | Pedro Pereira | When i try the send preview i receive this error message: "An error occurred when attempting to evaluate a HTTPGet function call. See inner exception for details. ClientID: 10__ SubscriberID: 7__ URL: api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/… An exception occurred when attempting to retrieve content by a HttpGet call. URL: api-ssl.bitly.com/v3/… The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error." What can be causing this? | |
| Jul 16, 2019 at 1:23 | comment | added | Macca | If you place your script in an email, output the @shortenUrl at the bottom of your script ("%%=v(@shortenUrl)=%%"), do a send preview and then place that URL in your browser's address bar, what response do you get from bit.ly? | |

| Jul 10, 2019 at 23:25 | comment | added | Macca | Yes. That could be a problem, if you've spent all your credits and can't shorten any more URLs. I'd paste your code into an email and send-preview to retrieve what @shortenUrl contains, grab it and paste it into your browser to see what happens. Your code looks pretty good to me and very similar to what I have in a number of SMSs. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 10:53 | comment | added | Pedro Pereira | Hi Macca, thanks for the help but unfortunately it didn't work. The same error message appear: "An internal server error has occurred". My Bitly account is the free version, can this be a problem? | |
