Autoblogging

Autoblogging creates posts for you automatically. You point it at a shop's catalog page — ideally one that lists new products, like a "New arrivals" section — and Affiliate Egg checks it on a schedule and publishes a post for each new product (or batch of products) it finds. It's a hands-off way to publish fresh offers as they appear.

Setting up a task

Go to Affiliate Egg → Autoblog → Add Autoblog and configure:

• Url of catalog — the shop catalog or category URL to watch. Choose one that updates with new goods (for example, a "new products" page).

• Handle products — how many products to process on each check.

• Products in one post — how many products to merge into a single post (use 1 for one product per post).

• Post status — publish immediately, or save as a draft to review first.

• Author — the WordPress user the posts are published under.

• Category — the category new posts go into.

• Template for title — the post-title pattern. You can use these tags: %PRODUCT.TITLE%, %PRODUCT.PRICE%, %PRODUCT.OLD_PRICE%, %PRODUCT.CURRENCY%, %PRODUCT.MANUFACTURER%.

• Template for storefronts — the output template the products use inside the post.

• Duplicate check — how Affiliate Egg avoids posting the same product twice: By URL (default), or Determined by parser for catalogs that change a product's URL over time.

• Task status — Works (running) or Stopped (paused).

How it runs

Tasks run on WordPress Cron — the same schedule that powers price updates — so they depend on your site getting traffic (or a real server cron). Each run makes a request to the shop, so the usual blocking notes apply: point tasks at catalogs that don't mind being read, and don't run too many too aggressively.
