GUIDES

Run your blog on autopilot

Choose the rhythm, keep the topics and decide who signs each article.

On this page

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.

Terminal
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.

Terminal
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.

Terminal
recala topics list --section up_next
Terminal
recala topics approve <topic-id>

Preview the two-week plan to see which topics and states occupy your slots.

Terminal
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.

Terminal
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.

Terminal
recala authors list
Terminal
recala autoapprove on --author <author-id>
Return to manual approval
Terminal
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.

Terminal
recala plan --weeks 2

Next, review an article to understand the checks before it is signed.
