Settings

Settings live at /app/settings and are split across two tabs: General and Scan & detection. This page is a reference for every option.

General

Controls the overall behaviour of fixes.

Fix Mode

Pick how Relink handles broken links after a scan. See Fix modes for the full breakdown. Quick summary:

  • Review (default) — every fix waits in the queue until you approve.
  • Auto-fix — high-confidence picks land instantly.
  • Redirect-all (Business) — every broken URL redirects to your Global Redirect URL.

Global Redirect URL

Business plan only. The fallback destination Relink uses when:

  • You're on Redirect-all mode (every fix uses this URL), or
  • You're on Review or Auto-fix mode and the AI can't find a good match.

Set it to a hub page that's safe for any orphaned traffic — usually /collections/all or your homepage.

SEO note

A redirect from an unrelated source URL to your homepage is treated by Google as a soft 404. Useful for crawl health, not for preserving authority. Keep this as a fallback, not the primary strategy.

Scan & detection

Controls when scheduled scans run and how detection behaves.

Settings · Scan & detection
Daily scan hour (UTC)
06:00 UTC — runs once per day at this hour.
06:00
Second daily scan
18:00 UTC — Business plan only.

Daily scan hour

Pick any hour from 00 to 23 UTC. Relink's hourly cron fires every hour and triggers scans for the shops whose scanHourUtc matches the current UTC hour. The default is 06:00 UTC.

  1. Pick a low-traffic hourScans don't affect storefront performance, but choosing off-peak is a habit worth keeping.
  2. Convert from your local timeIf you're in PT, 06:00 UTC = 22:00 PT the previous day. If you're in CET, it's 07:00 CET.
  3. SaveThe change takes effect from the next hourly tick.

Second daily scan (Business)

Business stores get a second scheduled scan at 18:00 UTC. Useful for high-velocity catalogs where 24 hours between scans is too long. Not configurable — always 18:00 UTC — so you get two diverse time windows.

Permissions & scopes

Relink uses the following Shopify Admin API scopes. You can review them at any time under Apps → Relink → App permissions in your Shopify admin.

  • read_products — list and read product content (body HTML, metafields).
  • read_content — pages and blog articles.
  • read_themes — read static theme assets when crawling theme-rendered links.
  • write_products, write_content — apply fixes to body HTML and metafields.
  • write_url_redirects — install and clean up Shopify URL redirects.

Uninstalling

Uninstall from Shopify admin → Apps. On uninstall:

  • Your redirects stay. They live in Shopify, not Relink.
  • Scan history is purged after 30 days per Shopify's standard data retention rules for uninstalled apps.
  • You can reinstall any time — past redirects remain, but Relink starts a fresh history.
