Your problem
bitlybot creates page hits on contact when sending text messages that contains bitly shortened links.
I’ve created this simple campaign to send a text message and to inform a user about the visit that happened:
The message is only a link:
The contacts events after the campaign fired:
When looking up the event details I can see 3x bitlybot (probably bitly checking the link) and 2x Google-PageRenderer (probably the Google Messages app on Android)
At least the bitlybot is contained in the list of bots not to track in Mautic settings. I would expect to not see page hits by bitlybot.
These errors are showing in the log: none
Steps I have tried to fix the problem: tried to understand the PHP code, but I’m not very fluent on PHP.
