Manual link edits

If you need to change a link after it's created, you'll need to do that in the Capsulink dashboard. The AI only handles the creation.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change the link after it's created?

    No. The AI can only create new links. If you need to edit an existing slug or title, you must do that through the Capsulink web interface.

  • 02

    Does the AI store my destination URLs?

    No. The AI uses the URL to perform the shortening action, but it doesn't save or manage your link history.

  • 03

    Can I create bulk links at once?

    No. The current tool is designed to handle one link request at a time through the chat interface.

  • 04

    What happens if the slug I want is already taken?

    The tool will return an error if the slug is unavailable. You'll need to ask the AI to try a different slug.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete links?

    No. The AI only has the capability to create links via the shorten_url tool. Deletion is a manual process.
