Opening Cora from a link

Any editor in CamBuildr can be opened with an instruction already typed into Cora, by adding ?ai_brief= to the page address. Useful for support, onboarding and your own bookmarks.

Any CamBuildr editor can be opened with an instruction already waiting in Cora's message box. Add ?ai_brief= and your instruction to the end of the page address, and when the page opens, Cora is open too with that text typed in.

This is handy when someone sends you a link — from support, from a colleague, or from your own bookmarks — and you want to land in the right place with the right thing already asked.

What the link looks like

Take the address of the editor you are working in and add the instruction to the end:

https://your-domain.example/cambuildr/landing-pages/12/edit/variants/34/content?ai_brief=Add a donation block below the header

The part before ?ai_brief= is simply the page you are already on — open the editor normally and copy the address from your browser. Everything after ?ai_brief= is the instruction, in plain language, up to 2000 characters.

Where it works

The instruction is picked up by every editor that has Cora in it:

  • The landing page editor

  • The campaign email editor

  • The automated email editor

  • The workflow canvas

  • The target audience builder

Nothing is sent until you send it

A link can only ever type the instruction for you. It is never sent automatically, and Cora does not start working on it on her own.

That is deliberate: anyone can write a link, so you always get to read the instruction and decide before anything happens. Edit it, replace it, or ignore it — nothing runs until you press send.

It joins the conversation you already have

Each piece of content keeps its own Cora conversation. If you have already been working on that landing page with Cora, the link does not start a new chat — the instruction goes in as your next message, with all the earlier history still there.

One exception worth knowing: if Cora is waiting for you to approve or reject something from a previous message, the message box stays locked until you answer her. Your instruction is still sitting there, it just cannot be sent yet.

AI has to be switched on

Cora only appears for organisations that have enabled AI. If AI is not switched on for your organisation, the link still opens the right page, and a short message tells you why nothing was typed and points you at the setting.

Examples worth bookmarking

Anything you would normally type to Cora works. A few that come up often:

  • ?ai_brief=Check this page and tell me what to improve

  • ?ai_brief=Add a donation block below the header

  • ?ai_brief=Add a countdown to the page

  • ?ai_brief=Add social share buttons

  • ?ai_brief=Add an event teaser section

  • ?ai_brief=Rewrite the intro to be shorter and more urgent
