Example prompts & workflows
Copy-paste prompts and full walkthroughs for the things people actually ask their assistant to do in Content Egg.
This is the page to bookmark. Below are ready-to-use prompts — copy one, tweak the details, and send it to your connected assistant.
First, one concept that makes everything else click:
Two ways to show products. When you ask your assistant to write an article (a review or a roundup), it builds the page from Egg Blocks — it writes the words, and only the prices and links stay live. When you just want to drop in a live product list on a page you're writing yourself, it uses the Products block instead.
Rule of thumb: if the words on the page should change when the product data changes, that's the Products block. If they're your editorial words — a verdict, pros and cons, an intro — that's Egg Blocks. You don't have to say which one; a good assistant picks the right one. But it helps to know why your review keeps your writing while a price list updates itself.
Part A — Quick prompts
Grouped by what you want to do. Each one is ready to paste; change the product names, post titles, and networks to match your site.
Research & plan (before you build)
Your assistant knows the market, and if it can browse the web it can check what's current. Use that before you search products or build anything.
Before we build anything: research the robot vacuum market for 2026 and suggest the 5 best models to feature in a buying guide, with a one-line reason for each. Don't touch the plugin yet.
What to expect: a shortlist of specific models and angles — no plugin actions yet. You review it, adjust the picks, and only then ask it to find those exact products and build the page.
Check my setup
Which Content Egg modules are active, and is my license OK?
What to expect: a short summary of your plugin status and a list of your active modules.
Find products
Search Amazon for robot vacuums and show me the top 5 with prices.
What to expect: a list of matching products with prices and merchants — nothing is added to any post yet.
Add products to a post
Find the 3 best-rated cordless drills on Amazon and add them to my post "Best Cordless Drills" as a comparison.
What to expect: the assistant searches, attaches the products to that post, and arranges them as a comparison.
Edit a product
On my "Best Drills" post, change the DeWalt's title to "DeWalt 20V MAX" and set its price to 129.
What to expect: just that one product is updated on that post.
Refresh prices
Refresh the prices on my "Best Drills" post.
What to expect: the assistant re-pulls current prices and availability for the products on the post.
Reorder
On that post, put the Makita first and the Bosch last.
Remove
Remove the discontinued Ryobi from that post.
What to expect: removing products changes the page, so a good assistant will confirm before doing it.
Set up a feed
Create a new product feed from https://example.com/feed.csv — it's a CSV in USD.
What to expect: the assistant creates the feed; importing runs in the background, so it may tell you to check back in a moment.
Module settings
Show my Amazon module settings.
Set my Amazon associate tag to mysite-20.
What to expect: the first shows your settings (with any secret keys hidden); the second updates one setting.
Product searches use your affiliate networks' API quota. Ask for what you need — don't tell your assistant to search "on a loop" or "for every possible keyword," or you may hit your network's rate limits.
Part B — Workflow recipes
Full, end-to-end examples. Each shows the prompt, what the assistant does, and what you get.
Do your homework first. Content Egg's product search is great at finding a product once you know what you want — but it doesn't decide which products are worth featuring. That editorial judgment is where your assistant shines on its own. Before you search or build, ask it to research the market: current trends, the newest models, what buyers care about, a rough outline. Then feed those specific model names into the product search. Searching "Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra" returns a precise match; searching "robot vacuum" returns a grab-bag. A few minutes of research up front is the biggest quality difference between an average roundup and a great one.
1. Build a product roundup from scratch
The best results come in two phases — research first, then build.
Phase 1 — Research and agree on the lineup (no plugin actions yet):
I want to write a buying guide, "Best Robot Vacuums 2026." Research the current market — newest models, standout features, what buyers care about — and suggest the 5 best robot vacuums to feature, each with a one-line reason. Don't touch the plugin yet; just give me the shortlist and a suggested outline.
Review the shortlist. Swap models, narrow it to three, adjust the angle — this is your editorial call, and it's far easier to do now than after the page is built.
Phase 2 — Find those products and build the page:
Great — go with the Dreame X40, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, and the iRobot Roomba j9+. Find each of those exact models on Amazon, then create a draft titled "Best Robot Vacuums 2026" with an intro, a comparison table, pros and cons for each, a FAQ, and a final verdict.
What happens: the assistant searches for the specific models you agreed on, attaches the best match for each, and assembles the page from Egg Blocks — intro, comparison table, pros and cons, FAQ, and verdict — saved as a draft.
What you get: a complete, well-curated draft to review and publish. Because you chose the lineup, it reflects real research instead of whatever a generic search happened to return.
You can also do this in one prompt ("research the 3 best robot vacuums and build the guide"), but splitting it into two phases gives you a checkpoint to steer the lineup before anything is created.
2. Drop a live price list into a post you're writing
Sometimes you want to write the article yourself and just add a live product list.
I'm writing this review myself. Near the bottom of post "My Air Fryer Review", add a live price-comparison list of the Ninja air fryer from Amazon.
What happens: the assistant adds a single Products block — a live price-comparison list — to that post, without touching your writing.
Why this one stays live: a price list is product data, not editorial writing, so it should always show the current prices and merchants. That's exactly what the Products block is for — it renders live from Content Egg every time the page loads.
3. Refresh an old review
On my "Best Headphones" post, re-run the product searches to refresh the lineup and prices, then add a short FAQ at the end.
What happens: the assistant refreshes the products (updated prices and availability) and appends a short FAQ — your existing content stays exactly as it was; the FAQ is added at the end.
What you get: an up-to-date post with a little more helpful content, no manual re-checking of prices.
4. Set up a feed and build from it
Create a feed from https://example.com/products.csv (CSV, USD), wait for it to finish importing, then make a draft roundup of the 5 cheapest coffee grinders from it.
What happens: the assistant creates the feed (which imports in the background), checks that the import has finished, searches within the feed for coffee grinders, and builds a draft roundup of the five cheapest.
What you get: a new product source and a draft article built from it, in one go.
Publishing is up to you. By default your assistant creates drafts — it won't publish anything unless you ask it to, and even then it can only publish if the WordPress user you connected has permission to publish. Review the draft, then say "publish it" when you're ready.
