Overview

Auto-publish allows you to schedule articles for automatic publication, so you can set up your content calendar and let Genseo handle the publishing. This guide covers setting up auto-publish, managing schedules, and pausing or rescheduling content.

​
How Auto-Publish Works

Auto-publish automatically publishes articles at scheduled times without manual intervention. Once you set up a schedule, Genseo will:
  1. Generate articles based on your keywords
  2. Schedule them for publication
  3. Automatically publish them at the scheduled time
  4. Notify you when articles are published

​
Setting Up Auto-Publish

​
Step 1: Enable Auto-Publish

  1. Go to Settings → Auto-Publish
  2. Toggle Enable Auto-Publish to on
  3. Configure your default settings:
    • Publishing frequency (daily, weekly, etc.)
    • Default publishing time
    • Default integration (Webflow or Shopify)

​
Step 2: Configure Schedule

Set up your publishing schedule:
  1. Choose frequency: How often to publish (daily, weekly, multiple times per week)
  2. Set times: What time of day to publish
  3. Select days: Which days of the week to publish
  4. Choose integration: Which integration to publish to
Start with a conservative schedule (e.g., 2-3 articles per week) and increase as you build your content pipeline.

​
Step 3: Add Keywords

Add keywords that will be automatically turned into articles:
  1. Go to Keywords
  2. Add keywords you want to publish
  3. Keywords will be automatically used for article generation
  4. Articles will be scheduled based on your auto-publish settings

​
Managing Schedules

​
Changing Schedules

Update your publishing schedule:
  1. Go to Settings → Auto-Publish
  2. Modify your schedule settings:
    • Change frequency
    • Adjust publishing times
    • Update which days to publish
  3. Click Save
Changes will apply to newly scheduled articles. Existing scheduled articles will keep their current schedules.

​
Individual Article Schedules

Override auto-publish schedule for specific articles:
  1. Open the article you want to schedule differently
  2. Click Schedule
  3. Set a custom date and time
  4. Click Schedule
The article will be published at your custom time instead of the auto-publish schedule.

​
Bulk Scheduling

Schedule multiple articles at once:
  1. Go to Calendar
  2. Select multiple articles
  3. Click Schedule
  4. Set a schedule for all selected articles
  5. Click Confirm
All selected articles will be scheduled accordingly.

​
Pausing Auto-Publish

Temporarily stop automatic publishing without deleting scheduled articles.

​
Pause Auto-Publish

  1. Go to Settings → Auto-Publish
  2. Toggle Enable Auto-Publish to off
  3. Click Save
Auto-publish will be paused, but scheduled articles will remain scheduled. You can manually publish them or resume auto-publish later.

​
What Happens When Paused

When auto-publish is paused:
  • Scheduled articles remain: Articles already scheduled will keep their schedules
  • New articles won’t auto-schedule: New articles won’t be automatically scheduled
  • Manual publishing still works: You can still manually publish articles
  • Can resume anytime: You can re-enable auto-publish at any time

​
Rescheduling Content

​
Reschedule Individual Articles

  1. Open the article you want to reschedule
  2. Click Edit Schedule
  3. Change the publication date and time
  4. Click Save
The article will be rescheduled to the new time.

​
Reschedule Multiple Articles

  1. Go to Calendar
  2. Select multiple articles
  3. Click Reschedule

  5. Click Confirm
All selected articles will be rescheduled.

​
Cancel Schedules

Remove schedules from articles:
  1. Open the article you want to unschedule
  2. Click Cancel Schedule
  3. Confirm cancellation
The article will no longer be scheduled. You can schedule it again later or publish it manually.
