Add missing image alt text with Automatio for WordPress

You ask the agent to find media files in your WordPress library that lack descriptions. The agent analyzes the images and updates their alt text and titles to improve accessibility and SEO.

What to ask

Type it in the Automatio chat. Send it as written, or change the details to fit your case.

In my WordPress site [site address], find all images in the media library that do not have alt text. Look at each one and write a descriptive alt text and a matching title for it. Update the images with these new details.

How it works

  1. 1

    Connect your site

    Go to Integrations, select Apps, choose WordPress, and enter your site address to authorize the connection.

  2. 2

    Start a chat

    Open the web chat and tell the agent which site you want to manage.

  3. 3

    Request the audit

    Ask the agent to list images missing alt text and provide descriptions for them.

  4. 4

    Review and update

    The agent sets the new alt text and titles via the WordPress REST API for you to verify.

What you get

The agent returns a list of the media items it identified and the specific alt text and titles it applied to each. You should visit your WordPress media library to verify that the descriptions accurately reflect the visual content, as the agent relies on its own visual analysis of the image files.

Good to know

  • The agent cannot process images larger than 10 MB or SVG files.
  • Site connections require HTTPS and active application passwords.
  • Analyzing images and performing updates costs Automatio credits.
  • The agent can only edit media if your account has administrator or editor permissions.

Variations to try

Update recent uploads

Check the last 20 images I uploaded to [site address] and add alt text to any that are missing it.

Open in Automatio

Focus on specific keywords

Find images without alt text on [site address] and write descriptions that include the keyword 'organic gardening' where it naturally fits the image.

Questions

Do I need to install a plugin?

No plugin is required. Automatio connects to your site using the built-in WordPress REST API after you approve the request on your site's authorization screen.

How much does this cost?

The WordPress tools are free to use. The agent's work, including analyzing images and making changes, uses your account's Automatio credits.

Can I revert the changes?

The agent can return the previous values for media fields if you ask it to undo a change in the same session. You can also manually edit the alt text in your WordPress library at any time.
