Using Sidekick to find Broken Links
Sidekick AI functionality can help you find broken links when using Ablestar Link Manager.
This allows you to ask questions with natural language prompts to help you diagnose why specific links are broken.
A site scan tells you which links on your store lead to a missing page, but not why the page is missing,
It can be time consuming to figure out if the link to the product was deleted, if the product is still in draft, or maybe the URL handle changed.
Sidekick can help to:
- Analyze why links are broken
- Suggest the correct links to adjust
- Fix your broken links for you
Sidekick only suggests changes. It cannot change your store unless specifically requested.
From any site scan, you can click the Explain with Sidekick button to start the conversation:
Some specific ideas to get you started, using prompts similar to:
- "Why is this link broken?"
- "Why is this link missing?
- “How do I fix these broken links?"
- "Was this product deleted or did the URL change?"
- "Can you update the broken links for me?"
Initially, Sidekick will confirm permissions to provide access to the app before processing your request.
Click ‘Yes (and don’t ask again)’ if you would like to hide this prompt in the future, and then the Submit button to continue.
Sidekick will process your request and return valuable information to help you resolve your broken links.
