How to update link destinations with your AI

Connect Capsulink to your AI client to manage your link library. Once connected, you can swap out destinations through simple chat commands.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I change where my short links point to?

You tell your AI which link to change and where the new destination is. The AI uses the edit_link_destination tool to update the redirect while keeping your original short URL exactly the same. You get immediate updates to your link routing without breaking any existing shared links.

Where every update lands.

The results of your request

Depending on how you phrase your request, your AI will deliver one of these outcomes.

SUCCESS

Link destination updated

The AI executes the change. Your original short link now sends traffic to the new landing page.

CONFIRMATION

Updated link list

The AI provides a summary of the change. You'll see the old destination and the new one side by side.

CLARIFICATION

Missing link details

If the AI can't find the specific short link you mentioned, it will ask you for the exact URL or ID.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If you ask to delete a link or perform bulk changes not supported by the tool, the AI will tell you it can't do that and leave the task to you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and your Capsulink account.

  1. Identify the link

    The AI scans your request to find the specific short link you want to modify.
