title: Can you call an external API to shorten links based on google sheets input?
body: <p>I have a spreadsheet that contains links created after a form entry. I'd like to call the external API of a link shortening service (not google's link shorten-er) to take the link created in a given cell, shorten it, return the value and have Google Apps Script insert that shortened link into a new cell. </p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? Specifically, can I use jQuery's AJAX methods? Where should I start. </p>
