Obtain the Code
Follow these steps to obtain the code to use Automate:
- Go to Links in the navigation header and click Link Tools.
- Click the Automate tab.
- You will be prompted to make selections for the following; click the + for more information:
The Blogger platform requires a different setup of the Automate script. If you use Blogger as your content management system, select Yes to format the script to work. Otherwise, select No.
If you are enabled for Signature, you can create any number of Automate scripts with a u1 value of your choice and install the scripts with the u1 value on your site. Once you do so, any clicks your site generates that Automate can affiliate will have that specific u1 value included.
To add a u1 parameter, select one of the available values or click Add/remove u1 parameter to create a new value.
Select None if you do not use Signature or do not wish to add a u1 value.
Attention
Automate can only use a single u1 value per script. Each script will have the unique u1 value you selected. If you wish to add a u1 parameter later, generate a new code with that parameter and copy it over any existing code on your site.
Use the Code
The code will generate once you have made your selections. You can view it by scrolling down and opening the View this code drawer. Once the code is generated, click Copy Code and paste the code into your website HTML:
- Decide if you want to apply the theme to your entire website or a specific page.
- In your website editor, paste the code right before your closing body tag. Nearly all content management systems enable you to do this manually by going into the code, but some allow you to do it through a pre-built section. If you are unfamiliar with how to paste JavaScript code into your HTML page, contact your web developer or content management system directly.
- Save in the way your content management system requires.
Links will then attempt to automatically affiliate upon a user's click.
Attention
At this time, Automate cannot be implemented within a Tag Manager.
Compatibility with WordPress
Automate is compatible with WordPress if you can publish JavaScript code on your site. If you are using a free version of WordPress, you may not be able to use JavaScript or Automate. Check with your site administrator or WordPress documentation for details and any limitations.
