Configuring Platform Schedules and Approval Workflows
Set per-platform publishing schedules, post frequency, and approval workflows so you control exactly when and how content goes live.
Updated April 8, 2026
ACS publishes content on a schedule you control. Each platform has independent settings for posting frequency, preferred days, content types, and whether human approval is required before anything goes live.
Where to Configure This
Go to Settings → Platforms in ACS. Each platform you have enabled has its own configuration panel.
Publishing Schedule
Posts Per Week
Set how many times per week ACS should publish on this platform. Start conservatively — you can always increase cadence once you are satisfied with the quality and volume.
Typical starting points:
- Newsletter: 1 per week
- SEO Article: 1 per week
- LinkedIn: 2–3 per week
- Twitter/X: 3–5 per week
Publish Days
Select which days of the week are preferred for publishing. ACS distributes posts evenly across the selected days.
Example: LinkedIn set to 3 posts/week with Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday selected — posts are distributed across those three days each week.
Post Types
For platforms that support multiple formats, you can enable or disable specific types:
- LinkedIn: text posts, article-format posts
- Twitter/X: single tweets, threads
- Newsletter: standard newsletter
Disabling a post type removes it from the content generation pool for that platform entirely.
Tone Guidelines Per Platform
Each platform has a Tone Guidelines field for platform-specific voice instructions, layered on top of your global strategy.
Examples:
- LinkedIn: "More formal and insight-driven. Strong opening hook. Avoid contractions."
- Twitter/X: "Punchy. Short sentences. Strong opinions. Occasionally provocative."
- Newsletter: "Conversational, like writing to a smart friend. Longer paragraphs acceptable."
These supplement your global strategy — they do not replace it.
Approval Workflows
Approval Required (toggle)
When enabled, ACS generates content but holds it in Pending Approval status before publishing. You review and either approve or request changes.
When disabled, ACS publishes automatically on the scheduled day.
When to use approval:
- During your first several campaigns while calibrating output quality
- For high-stakes channels where brand consistency is critical (newsletter, SEO articles)
- Any time you want a final review before content reaches your audience
When to turn it off:
- For lower-stakes, high-frequency channels (Twitter/X) where speed matters more
- Once you have built confidence in ACS output for a specific platform after reviewing 5–10 campaigns
- For fully automated, hands-off workflows
Reviewing Pending Content
Pending content appears in your Content section with a "Pending Approval" badge. Open any piece to see the full content, platform metadata, and ACS's self-critique notes. From there you can:
- Approve — queues the piece for publishing on its next scheduled day
- Edit and approve — make changes directly before approving
- Request revision — sends the piece back for regeneration, with optional notes describing what to change
Enabling and Disabling Platforms
Toggle the Enabled switch on each platform's settings panel to add or remove it from your active content engine. Disabled platforms are excluded from campaign generation entirely — no content is created or published for them until re-enabled.
Recommended Starting Setup
If you are new to ACS:
- Enable 2–3 platforms maximum to start
- Turn on approval for all of them
- Run 3–5 campaigns, review every piece, and update tone guidelines based on what you see
- Once satisfied with a platform's output, turn off approval for it
