Automations

Automations are AI-powered workflows that generate and publish content across your connected platforms. Each automation defines what content to create, where to publish it, and when to run.

Automation Types

QiQ Social offers five automation types across two categories:

Write Automations

Generate original content from a topic or prompt using AI.

Type	Description	Publishes To

Generate Blog Post	Turn a focus phrase into a structured blog article	WordPress, Webflow

RSS Automations

Transform RSS feed items into new content.

Type	Description	Publishes To
Social Post from RSS	Convert each new RSS item into a social post	Social platforms
Blog Post from RSS	Convert each new RSS item into a full blog article	WordPress, Webflow
Blog Digest from RSS	Combine multiple RSS items into a single roundup post	WordPress, Webflow

How Automations Work

Every automation follows a flow of steps:

Trigger — What starts the automation (a schedule or a new RSS item)
Process — How content is generated (AI generate from topic, or AI rewrite from RSS)
Action — What happens with the content (publish to selected channels)

Common Configuration

All automations share these settings:

Name — A label for the automation (optional)
Channels — One or more connected channels to publish to (called “outputs”)
Schedule — When the automation runs (see Scheduling)
Auto-publish — When enabled, posts are published immediately. When disabled, posts are saved as drafts for manual review
Labels — Color-coded tags for organization (see Labels)

Automation Lifecycle

Create — Set up the automation with your desired configuration
Run — Trigger manually or let the schedule run it
Generate — AI creates content tailored to each output channel’s constraints
Review (optional) — If auto-publish is off, review and edit the generated posts
Publish — Content is sent to each connected channel
