Zoho Inventory

Bitly Invoice Link Extension

Note: This extension is available in the Premium and above plans of Zoho Inventory and the Enterprise plan of Zoho One.

In Zoho Inventory, you can generate a link for invoices and share it with your customers. However, this link is long, making sending it to your customers through SMS difficult as it exceeds the character limit. The Bitly Invoice Link extension reduces the length of the link by generating shortened URLs. You can use the shortened URLs to share these invoices with your customers via SMS.

Note: The number of short links you can generate depends on the Bitly plan you are subscribed to. To generate more links, visit Bitly’s pricing page and select a plan that meets your requirements.
