_I defaulting to `npm` but you can also download the `bitly.alfredworkflow` and double-click the file._
## First Run
Before running the workflow you need to set your Bit.ly **GENERIC ACCESS TOKEN**:
First [login to your Bitly Account](https://bitly.com/a/sign_in) and then create [here](https://bitly.com/a/sign_in?rd=%2Fa%2Foauth_apps) your **GENERIC ACCESS TOKEN**. Be sure to use the **GENERIC ACCESS TOKEN** and not the **API KEY**.
To enter it open Alfred Preferences > Workflows then select Bit.ly, finally click in Configure Workflow and Variables (as seen below):

Copy URL to clipboard. Type `bit.ly` in Alfred and Enter. Now the shorten URL should be in your clipboard.
