Issue Details

Google API used to shorten URL is officially out of service. It returns a 403. https://blog.rebrandly.com/google-url-shortener/

Seems like the link works

I am having the same issue. Does anyone have a solution?

TL;DR - There is no way around this error using the quick start template as-is. The only solution is to modify the template flow/logic. The easiest path around this is to simply gut the URL shortener portion which is useful but certainly optional to functionality.

Here's a sample of the template code you can reference that is working for me. Note this also contains fixes for #3319

        "actions": {
            "Post_Message": {
                "inputs": {
                    "host": {
                        "connection": {
                            "name": "@parameters('$connections')['slack_1']['connectionId']"
                        }
                    },
                    "method": "post",
                    "path": "/chat.postMessage",
                    "queries": {
                        "channel": "#myslackchannel",
                        "text": "Azure Alert - '@{triggerBody()['data']['context']['name']}' @{triggerBody()['data']['status']} on '@{triggerBody()['data']['context']['resourceName']}'. Details: @{triggerBody()['data']['context']['portalLink']}"
                    }
                },
                "runAfter": {},
                "type": "ApiConnection"
            }
        },

The Google URL shortener service has in fact been discontinued or rather replaced Firebase Dynamic Links but the API isn't directly compatible as noted in the article referenced by OP.

Other replacement services such as Bit.ly and Ow.ly could be used but will require users of this to have an account and alter this application to leverage them.

@jeffhollan you updated the template recently. Are there any plans on fixing the template? It's been broken for a long time.
