πŸ”— How to Submit Directories with the SoPilot Plugin

What This Feature Is For

SoPilot helps you submit your product to directory sites, startup listings, and product discovery websites. The recommended workflow is to prepare your product information in SoPilot first, then use the browser plugin to open each directory form, auto-fill it, and manually confirm the final submission.

Recommended Workflow

The full workflow is best done in two stages:

  1. Add your product information in SoPilot
  2. Use the SoPilot plugin to submit directories one by one

Step 1: Add a Product First

Before you start submitting, add the product you want to promote. The plugin uses this product data when auto-filling forms.

How to Add a Product

  1. Open My Products
  2. Click Add Product
  3. Enter the product URL
  4. Click Generate
  5. Review the generated content and fix anything incomplete or inaccurate
  6. Click Create Product

Empty add product dialog

What the Generate Button Does

After you enter a URL and click Generate, SoPilot will extract key product information, such as:

  • Product name
  • Product summary or prompt content
  • Website URL and other common fields

If the generated result is incomplete or not accurate enough, just edit it manually before creating the product.

Step 2: Submit with the SoPilot Plugin

Once your product is ready, you can start submitting from the directory list.

Open the Submission Sidebar

On a directory site page, open the SoPilot browser plugin and click Open sidebar to submit directory.

Open the SoPilot submission sidebar

Select the Product in the Sidebar

In the sidebar, choose the product you want to submit under Step 1: Select product to submit, then pick a directory item from the list.

Choose product and work through the directory list

Standard Submission Flow

Use this sequence for each directory:

  1. Click Browse
  2. Open the actual submission page or form
  3. Click Auto Fill
  4. Review the filled form and submit it manually
  5. Return to the sidebar and click Save Record or update the status

Important notes:

  • Browse: opens the target directory page so you can reach the real submission form
  • Some sites require login first, so sign in before auto-filling
  • Auto Fill: fills the current form using the selected product information
  • Manual Submit: the final submit action should still be confirmed by you
  • Save Record: save the result after submission so you can track progress later

Suggested Order for Each Directory

For every directory item, follow this order:

  1. Click Browse in the directory list
  2. Find the site's submit button or form page
  3. Log in first if required
  4. Click Auto Fill in the SoPilot sidebar
  5. Review and manually adjust any fields if needed
  6. Submit the form on the page
  7. Go back to the sidebar and save the submission record

Tips

  • Fill in product details as completely as possible, including website, email, description, and public profile info
  • Treat generated content as a draft and review it before submission
  • Some custom fields, rich text editors, or non-standard forms may still need manual input
  • Save records promptly after each submission to avoid duplicates

Common Questions

Why is auto-fill incomplete?

Common reasons:

  • The actual form page has not been opened yet
  • The site uses a non-standard form component
  • The selected product information is still incomplete

In those cases, open the real form first, improve the product data if needed, and try Auto Fill again.

Why should I add a product first?

Because the plugin reads from the selected product record when filling forms. More complete product data usually leads to better auto-fill results.

What should I do after submission?

Confirm that the site accepted your submission, then save the record in the SoPilot sidebar so you can track which directories are already done.
