Creating New Auto-Posting Schedules

To initiate a self-sustaining content workflow, users must configure an Auto-Posting task. Unlike the which focuses on one-off creations, the Auto-Posting system is built for consistency. The setup process involves five critical configuration phases:

• Content Settings: Define the thematic direction of the task. You can provide a specific list of topics (one per line) for the AI to cycle through, or allow the AI to “Suggest from KB” by autonomously selecting topics derived from your indexed Managing User Roles and Access in Docy: Best Practices and Plugin Recommendations.
• Tone and Style: Configure the linguistic persona, target audience, and point of view. This ensures that every automated post maintains brand consistency across the entire site.
• Post Settings: Specify the destination post type (e.g., Post, Page, or Docs), the designated author, and the initial publication status (Draft vs. Publish).
• SEO Configuration (Pro): Enable automated focus keyword assignment and meta description generation to ensure every automated post is optimized for search engines from the moment of creation.
• Frequency and Timing: Set the cadence of generation. Options include daily execution, specific weekdays, or custom intervals, synchronized with your server’s timezone.

Integrating Knowledge Sources

The efficacy of automated content depends heavily on the context provided to the AI. Within the Automated Content Systems, you have the option to “Provide Context” globally or locally. By toggling the global Knowledge Base, the AI utilizes all indexed PDFs, URLs, and GitHub repositories to inform the generated text. Alternatively, you can upload specific “Knowledge Files” that are isolated strictly to a particular scheduling task, ensuring that niche technical topics remain highly accurate without interference from broader site data.

Monitoring and Managing Scheduled Tasks

Effective management of automation requires transparency. The Scheduled Postings List provides a comprehensive dashboard for tracking every active routine. Key information columns include:

• Status: A visual indicator of whether a task is active, paused, or completed.
• Task Identity: A summary of the topics or context driving the specific automation chain.
• Next Run Time: An exact timestamp indicating when the plugin will next initiate the generation process, allowing administrators to coordinate with other site updates.

Automated Content Updates (Pro Feature)

Static content is a liability for SEO. The Auto Update system is a proactive maintenance tool that ensures older posts remain accurate and competitive. This system functions by identifying content based on age thresholds—for instance, posts older than six months—and subjecting them to a contextual refresh. The AI analyzes the existing text, integrates newer data from your Knowledge Base, and rewrites sections to improve phrasing and technical accuracy. This “evergreen” strategy is essential for maintaining high rankings in dynamic industries. For broader site-wide modifications, this system can be used in tandem with tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pause a schedule once it has started?
Yes. Within the Scheduled Postings List, you can toggle the status of any task to “Paused” to stop generation without losing your configuration settings.

Does the Auto-Posting system generate images?
Yes, if the Pro version is active and the “Generate Featured Image” option is enabled in the SEO settings, the system will use AI to create relevant imagery for each scheduled post.

What happens if the AI runs out of topics?
If you provided a manual list of topics, the task will mark itself as completed once the list is exhausted. If using “Suggest from KB,” the AI will continue to find new angles as long as the Knowledge Base is updated with fresh data.
