How to update branded link destinations with your AI

Connect Rebrandly to your AI client to manage redirects. When you move a landing page, your agent updates the destination for you.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I use AI to change where my short links point?

You tell your agent which links need changing, and it uses Rebrandly to swap the destination URLs. This keeps your branded links working even after you move your content. You get a list of updated links without manual entry.

The outcomes.

Where your changes land.

Depending on how you prompt your agent, you'll get one of these results.

AUTOMATED

Bulk destination updates

Your AI finds specific links and updates their target URLs. This handles the heavy lifting of redirecting traffic to new pages.

SEARCHED

Link audits

The agent scans your Rebrandly account to find links matching a specific title or pattern. You get a clear view of what exists.

HUMAN

Manual link creation

The AI cannot create brand new short links from scratch. You'll need to set those up in the Rebrandly dashboard first.

VERIFIED

Metadata cleanup

Your agent updates the tags and descriptions attached to your links. This ensures your link previews look right everywhere.

The workflow
