Editorial Workflows

New Affiliate Link App Store Search

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Generate new iTunes affiliate links using the new PHG affiliate system.
Checks the clipboard for a link and then suggests to make it an affiliate link from it and puts the link in your clipboard.
If you choose not to make an affiliate link out of it or if you don't have a link in the clipboard, you are asked if you want to search the App Store for a link.

This is my New Affilate Link workflow modified to search the App Store instead of Google.
