# Run your blog on autopilot Choose the rhythm, keep the topics and decide who signs each article. Use an owner’s sign-in to change cadence or automatic approval. Autopilot must be enabled for your account; a configured cadence alone does not switch it on. ## Choose your publication rhythm This example uses Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 09:45 in Madrid. Change the days, time and timezone to suit your company. Preview the settings first. ``` recala cadence set --days mon,wed,fri --time 09:45 --tz Europe/Madrid --autopilot --dry-run ``` When the preview is right, save it with autopilot enabled. This permits topic assignment and generation, which uses your article plan. ``` recala cadence set --days mon,wed,fri --time 09:45 --tz Europe/Madrid --autopilot ``` ## Keep the topics you want written Review Up next before enabling generation. Keep the questions that help your buyers. ``` recala topics list --section up_next ``` ``` recala topics approve ``` Preview the two-week plan to see which topics and states occupy your slots. ``` recala plan --weeks 2 ``` ## Choose how drafts get approved With automatic approval off, a person reviews each draft. Turning it on lets eligible passing drafts be accepted in the configured signing person’s name. Holds and review requirements still apply. ``` recala autoapprove show ``` Use an active author id from your organization and an owner session. This command saves the setting without an interactive confirmation prompt. ``` recala authors list ``` ``` recala autoapprove on --author ``` **Return to manual approval** ``` recala autoapprove off ``` ## What happens at 09:45 09:45 is the publication time in this example, in the configured timezone. Recala prepares articles ahead of their slots. Eligible, approved articles can publish when their scheduled slot is due. A missing author, hold, failed check or unavailable article can prevent publication. The plan shows the state of each slot; setting a time does not promise an article will be ready. ``` recala plan --weeks 2 ``` Next, [review an article](https://recala.co/developers/guides/review/) to understand the checks before it is signed.
