Spot the Dead Short Links Draining Trust (Claude Cowork Self-Install Kit)

Find every short link going to a dead end before another campaign click is wasted.

You sent a short link in a newsletter three months ago and just found out it's been going to a 404 the whole time. You have hundreds of Bitly links and no way to know which still work without clicking every one.

The leak isn't your campaigns. It's that nothing checks where your branded short links resolve, so a product-page change or a deprecated URL turns a live link into a missed click.

What this kit does

The kit audits your Bitly inventory, finds short links resolving to a 404 or to a deprecated product page, and fixes the destination or deletes the link. Every dead branded short link that was a missed click gets caught and corrected.

What you can expect

You audit your full Bitly inventory and identify every dead or misdirected link within 30 to 60 minutes, instead of clicking through hundreds of URLs over days. You recover 2 to 5 hours per quarter previously lost to piecemeal link checking, and missed clicks from dead links drop to near-zero.

Who it's for

Built for e-commerce operators who run branded short links across campaigns. This is a Claude Cowork self-install kit you run yourself.

What's included

Skip building from scratch. No coding. You get the complete kit your own AI agent reads, sets up, and runs for you, step by step:

• A Start Here guide, so you know exactly what to open first
• The agent install instructions, the part that lets your own AI agent stand the workflow up for you
• A guided setup that interviews you about your business, so the workflow fits how you actually work
• Workflow Briefing: the plan, the inputs, and what done looks like
• Task List your agent follows to build it
• MCP Connection Guide for the tools involved
• Tool Setup notes for accounts, keys, and permissions
• Prompt Library, including the ready-to-run prompt for this workflow
• Troubleshooting and maintenance guide for the common snags
• A Next Steps and Roadmap, so you know what to automate next once this one is running
• A Run Guide you keep, so you can run it any time with no setup again

This kit earns its tier by protecting the clicks you've already paid to earn, recovering campaign traffic that was hitting a dead end across your whole link inventory.

What you'll need (not included)

The kit is the workflow, the prompts, and the setup guide. It does not include the tool subscriptions it runs on. You'll need your own Claude with Cowork, Shopify, and Bitly accounts, and Bitly has a free tier that covers basic link management. Those are billed by the tools themselves, not by us.

You'll also need your Claude account on Cowork's Pro plan or higher, so your agent can connect your tools and use the most capable model while it installs the workflow.

How to install this kit

Connect Shopify and Bitly at claude.com/connectors and authorize each account. Open the kit in Claude Cowork and run the included prompt. Step-by-step instructions ship inside every kit, so you're never guessing. See How Self-Install Kits Work for the full walkthrough.

If you've been pricing link-management or audit software, this is the install-it-once alternative. You run the audit yourself and keep the workflow, with no monthly subscription. Add it to your cart, open it in Claude Cowork, and run your first link audit today.
