So for this you need to follow these steps:

1- extract all urls from string.

2- request each urls and get there original location. very well explained here:

3- when you have originalUrl, just check if url != originalUrl then it is a shorten url.

Use regex to find whether there is a URL in your string or not, if they're just replacing it what you need on that space

/(https?://[^\s]+)/g

var string = "Hi Vignesh This is Mondi from Novato Cleaners. May I ask for a favor ? Our google https://bit.ly requires reviews. Could you provide one ?Thank you";
var protomatch = /(https?:\/\/[^\s]+)/g;
var b = string.replace(protomatch, '');
console.log(b)
