Autopilot workflows

Autopilot workflows are the "set and forget" layer on top of Create. You describe what should happen and when using a node graph, and Postazo runs it on a schedule — usually daily, but any cadence works.

Every project can have multiple workflows running in parallel. One might handle daily educational posts; another might handle weekly product spotlights; another might turn new blog posts into carousels.

The building blocks

An autopilot workflow is a graph of nodes. Each node has a type and a config. Nodes chain outputs to inputs — the output of one node becomes the input to the next.

Common node types:

• Trigger — every workflow starts with one. Cron-based (fires on a schedule) or event-based (fires when a new blog post lands, etc.).
• Pick topic — asks the AI for a topic idea grounded in your Brand Kit + Pillars.
• Draft post — generates copy for a specific platform + tone.
• Draft image — generates a visual, either from a prompt or a source.
• Draft video — same for video (UGC or Start Frame).
• Narration — adds AI-voiceover to a video branch.
• Publish / Schedule — sends the finished post to connected accounts, either immediately or at a computed future time.

Building a workflow

Go to Autopilot in the top nav (only visible to admin users for now). Click New Autopilot Workflow.

1. Give it a name.
2. Add a Trigger — cron (daily/weekly/hourly), event-based, or manual (fires only when you press "Run now").
3. Chain nodes downstream. The editor shows the graph and validates as you go — missing config gets a red border.
4. Save.

Example: daily educational carousel

Trigger: daily at 09:00 UTC → Pick topic (weighted from Pillar: "Product deep-dives") → Draft image (carousel, 5 slides) → Schedule (Instagram + LinkedIn, 10:00 local)

This runs every morning without you clicking anything, and by 10:00 you have a fresh carousel scheduled for the day.

Example: turn blog posts into social

Trigger: new WordPress post detected → Draft post (extract key points, tailor to LinkedIn) → Publish (LinkedIn only, immediately)

Fires whenever your blog updates. Combined with the WordPress Source, this is the fastest way to earn compounding value from blog work.

Cost visibility

Every workflow shows an estimated cost per run before you save — the AI generation calls it will make, the image / video costs, the estimated time. Runs above your account's per-run budget block until you raise the ceiling.

Turning workflows on / off

Each workflow has an Active toggle. Off = it stays saved but doesn't fire on its schedule. Useful for pausing without deleting.

You can also Run now on any workflow to manually fire it once, regardless of the schedule — useful for testing.

Where the output lands

Every workflow-generated post shows up in Posts with an "Autopilot" badge and a link back to the workflow that generated it. Same delivery-status tracking as manual posts.
