How to update link destinations with your AI

Connect BL.INK to your AI client to manage your short links. Once connected, you can change where any link points without touching the BL.INK dashboard.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I change a short link's destination using AI?

Tell your AI to find a specific link and provide the new URL. The AI uses the BL.INK tools to swap the destination instantly. You'll get a confirmation once the link is redirected to the new page.

Where every change lands.

Outcomes of link updates

Your AI handles the technical redirection, leaving you with updated traffic flow.

REDIRECTED

Live link updates

The AI uses the update tool to point your existing short link to a new destination. Your original link stays the same, but the traffic goes to the new page.

VERIFIED

Confirmed destinations

The AI checks the current destination of a link to ensure it matches what you expect. This prevents you from sending traffic to the wrong place.

AUDITED

Link status reports

You can ask your AI to list your links or check specific ones. This gives you a clear view of where all your active links are currently pointing.

MANUAL

Human review needed

If a link fails to update or a destination is invalid, the AI will flag it. You'll need to step in to fix the URL or check your BL.INK account settings.

The workflow

What your AI does when a link needs changing.

The AI acts as your interface for the BL.INK API, handling the lookup and the update.

  1. Locate the link

    The AI identifies the specific short link you want to change by looking up its current details.

    get_link

  2. Validate the new URL

    Your agent checks the new destination you provided to make sure it's ready to receive traffic.

    get_link

  3. Apply the change

    The AI sends the new destination to BL.INK to overwrite the old one.

    update_link

  4. Confirm success

    The AI verifies the update was successful by checking the link's destination one last time.

    get_link
