1. Add Allowed Affiliate Categories
Restrict results to only the categories that make sense for your product. If you run a fitness app, you might allow only Sports & Fitness and Health & Beauty. ChatAds will skip any extracted product that doesn’t fall into your allowed list. Available categories:| Category |
|---|
| Automotive |
| Baby & Kids |
| Crafts & Hobbies |
| Electronics |
| Fashion & Apparel |
| Health & Beauty |
| Home & Garden |
| Pet Supplies |
| Sports & Fitness |
| Toys & Games |
Allowed categories decrease fill rates since products outside your list are filtered out. But the offers you do get will be more relevant to your users.
2. Add Excluded Affiliate Categories
If you’d rather keep things open but block a few categories, use exclusions instead. This is more permissive than defining allowed categories — everything is included except what you explicitly block. For example, a general-purpose chatbot might exclude Toys & Games and Baby & Kids if its audience skews older.Auto-Blocked Categories
ChatAds automatically excludes the following categories from results. These tend to be low-value or noisy:- Apps & Games
- Books
- Collectibles
- Digital & Physical Media
- Gift Cards
- Grocery
- Scientific & Industrial
- Software
3. Send US Traffic Only
Our product catalog and affiliate resolution are focused on the US market. Messages from non-US users will return fewer matches, irrelevant products, or empty results. Use thecountry or ip parameter to let ChatAds detect geography, or filter non-US traffic on your end before making the call.
