Class or trigger - newbie question. Please help.

Hi there,

 

Currently struggling with a problem relating to new caess being created.

 

When new cases come through the API I want to take a certain piece of information within that case, actually a URL and pass it through Bitly to shorten it.

 

I found this code on the forum and I have added in the field that I want on there which I want it to shorten - the question is. How do I invoke this class - do I need to set it as a trigger on the Case?

 

I have tried doing that but it doesn't like the code below due to the "static" elements in there. 

 

Effectively what I am asking is, I have the code (which when tested in the class page does not return errors) it's just how do I get it to do it's stuff?

 

Thanks in advance

Have you tried creating a trigger that calls the methods in this class?
