Product-driven autopilot and affiliate links
Save your offers once, then let autopilot write about them daily with the link woven in naturally.
Last reviewed 2026-07-20
If you promote products — your own or as an affiliate — you do not want to paste a link into every post by hand. Save each offer once, attach it to an autopilot, and every generated post talks about the real product and carries the real link.
There are two levels of integration, and the difference matters:
- Include my products & affiliate links — the AI may reference your products where it fits naturally.
- Generate content based on this product — the AI follows that product's name and description in every post, and the affiliate link is woven into the caption automatically.
Step by step
Add a product
Go to /products and fill in the add-product form:
- Product name — required. Use the name a buyer would recognise.
- Affiliate link — required. The full destination URL, starting with
https://. - Description — optional in the form, essential in practice. This is what the AI reads.
- Product image — optional. JPG, PNG, WEBP or GIF up to 8 MB.
Press + Add Product. It appears in the list below, where you can open the link to verify it or delete the product.
Write a description the AI can use
This is the step that decides whether product-driven content is good or generic. The description is the model's entire knowledge of the offer, so give it something concrete: what it is, who it suits, and the price.
Weak vs. useful product descriptions WEAK Skincare product. USEFUL Vitamin C serum, 30ml. Suits oily and combination skin. Visible brightening in about 4 weeks. RM39, free shipping in Malaysia. Main objection: buyers worry it will cause breakouts — it is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.Including the main objection is a genuine trick: it gives the model something to answer, and answering objections is what selling copy actually is.
Attach the product to an autopilot
Open /autopilot, expand the account you want, and scroll to the product block. Choose your product from the Product dropdown, then tick Generate content based on this product.
From that point every post the autopilot writes follows that product's name and description, and the affiliate link goes into the caption automatically. If you would rather the product appear occasionally rather than always, tick Include my products & affiliate links and leave the product-driven checkbox off.
Keep the feed readable
A feed that sells in every post stops being read. Two ways to keep the balance:
- Set the autopilot's Type to Product soft-sell or Mixed rather than hard promotion, so posts lead with something useful.
- Run two autopilots on the same account — one educational with no product attached, one product-driven — at different times of day.
Roughly four useful posts to one offer post is the ratio that survives contact with an audience.
Use products in manual posts too
The same products are available in the composer. Pick one from the Product dropdown and leave Append product link to caption ticked — the link is appended after a blank line at the end, and the Final caption preview shows you exactly what will publish.
The YouTube → Threads tool also accepts a product name and affiliate link, and places the link in the last post of the generated chain rather than the first.
Track whether it converts
Affiliate dashboards tell you a sale happened but rarely which post caused it. If your link passes through a page you control — a bridge page, a link page, a review page — install the tracking snippet there and you will see sessions, traffic source and conversions per source.
