Auto-Publishing
Right time, zero babysitting

Auto-Publishing is the hands-off layer on top of your review and scheduling workflow. After a post is approved and given a time, Content Drifter's scheduler owns the last mile: watching the clock, calling each network's APIs, and confirming success.

It is built for creators who batch content on Sundays and for teams who cannot afford a missed slot during a product launch. You stay in control of what goes out and when; the system handles repetition and timing with machine precision.

Under the hood is a simple loop you can trust. Nothing magical, just diligent scheduling and retries tuned for real-world APIs.

1. Approved posts are queued with their target platforms and scheduled timestamps.
2. Our scheduler checks every minute for work that is due, so you are never more than sixty seconds off your slot.
3. At the exact scheduled time, posts publish through your connected accounts.
4. You receive confirmation in the app so you know each channel succeeded, or see actionable errors if something needs attention.

Consistency beats intensity on social. Auto-Publishing makes consistency automatic so you can reinvest energy into strategy and creative.

• Never miss a posting window because a meeting ran long or a notification got buried.
• Publish while you sleep across time zones without staying online for “the right minute.”
• Works across all connected platforms from the same approval and calendar flow you already use.

Auto-Publishing is powerful because it has clear prerequisites. Meeting them once saves you hundreds of micro-tasks later.

• The post must be approved through Final Review (or your workspace's equivalent approval state).
• Each target platform must be connected with a valid OAuth token so we can publish on your behalf.
• A scheduled time must be set so the queue knows when to fire; no time, no auto-publish.

If any requirement is missing, we surface it in the UI instead of failing silently. Fix the gap, and the same post flows through without starting over.

Auto-Publishing is available on Starter, Pro, and Agency plans. Free workspaces focus on planning, review, and manual publishing; when you are ready to automate delivery, upgrading unlocks the scheduler without migrating your content.
