What does the "Need to add bitly access_token to use bitly API" warning mean in my API response?

If you receive an API response with a status_code of 200 but it includes the warning "Need to add bitly access_token to use bitly API", it means your push notification was sent successfully.

This is a warning, not an error. It appears when the link shortening feature is active for your API call, but you have not provided a Bitly access token in your project settings.

You have two options to resolve this warning:

Enable Link Shortening: If you want to use Bitly to shorten links in your push notifications, add your Bitly access token to your project's configuration in the Pushwoosh Control Panel.
Disable Link Shortening: If you do not need to shorten links, you can disable this feature for specific API calls. In your /createMessage request, set the minimize_link parameter to 0.
Example parameter to add to your request body:
```
"minimize_link": 0
```
