Step by step

How it works

Follow our simple process to get started and achieve amazing results in minutes.

1

Set up your workflow and channels

Connect your publishing destinations and configure the stages, roles, and rules that will govern how content moves from draft to publish.

Authenticate and connect CMS, blog, newsletter, and social channels; define workflow stages (e.g., intake, draft, edit, legal, schedule, publish); assign owners and approvers; set required fields, templates, tags, and SLAs; configure notifications and permissions.

2

Create and prepare content

Draft content in a standardized format, enrich it with assets and metadata, and align it to campaign goals and audience targets.

Start from a brief or template; add copy, links, images, and attachments; apply metadata (keywords, category, author, CTA, UTM parameters); run checks for brand voice, readability, SEO, and accessibility; generate a preview for each channel format.

3

Collaborate, review, and approve

Route content through structured reviews with clear feedback, versioning, and sign-offs so nothing publishes without the right approvals.

Assign reviewers by stage; collect inline comments and suggested edits; track versions and change history; enforce approval gates (editorial, legal, compliance); resolve feedback and lock the final version; maintain an audit trail for accountability.

4

Schedule, publish, and measure results

Publish to connected channels at the right time, monitor performance, and feed insights back into the workflow to improve future output.

Set publish dates, time zones, and embargoes; validate channel-specific requirements and run final preflight checks; publish or queue via integrations; monitor delivery status and errors; track performance metrics (traffic, engagement, conversions); report by campaign/channel and capture learnings for iteration.

Real world applications

Use cases for a content publishing workflow tool

Discover how businesses across industries use our platform to achieve remarkable results.

Scaling a multi-brand retail content calendar

Centralize planning, drafting, reviews, approvals, and scheduling across multiple retail brands and regions to reduce bottlenecks and ensure consistent brand voice.

Example:

A retail group with 6 brands uses standardized templates, role-based approvals (brand, legal, merchandising), and an integrated calendar to coordinate seasonal campaigns across web, email, and social in 4 countries.

Expected results:

Publishing throughput increased by 35% (from 260 to 351 assets per month), average approval cycle time dropped 42% (from 6.2 to 3.6 days), on-time publishing improved from 71% to 93%, and content-related rework declined 28% due to clearer handoffs and version control.

Ensuring compliant publishing in regulated healthcare

Enforce governance with audit trails, mandatory medical/legal/regulatory reviews, controlled vocabularies, and locked approvals to reduce compliance risk and accelerate safe publication.

Example:

A healthcare provider network routes patient education articles through clinician review, legal review, and accessibility checks before publishing to the website and patient portal, with automated reminders and evidence-source attachments.

Expected results:

Compliance exceptions reduced by 60% (from 15 to 6 per quarter), median time from draft to publish decreased 30% (from 10 to 7 days), audit preparation time fell 50% (from 40 to 20 hours per audit), and accessibility pass rate increased from 82% to 96%.

Coordinating thought leadership for a B2B SaaS marketing team

Align cross-functional contributors (product, sales, customer success, executives) with clear workflows, deadlines, and asset reuse to publish consistently and improve pipeline impact.

Example:

A B2B SaaS company implements an intake form for content requests, assigns owners, tracks SME feedback, and schedules blog posts, webinars, and LinkedIn content from a shared campaign hub tied to UTM and CRM attribution.

Expected results:

Content cadence increased from 8 to 12 pieces per week (+50%), average SME review turnaround improved 33% (from 3.0 to 2.0 days), campaign launch slippage decreased from 4.5 to 1.8 days on average (-60%), and marketing-sourced MQLs rose 22% (from 1,150 to 1,403 per quarter) with a 12% increase in content-assisted pipeline.

Why we're different

Content publishing workflow tool vs alternatives

Compare speed, governance, collaboration, and publishing consistency across common approaches.

Workflow automation and approvals
Our content publishing workflow tool Configurable multi-step workflows (draft → review → legal/brand → publish) with automated routing, SLAs, and audit trails.
Traditional methods (email + spreadsheets) Manual handoffs, easy to miss approvals, limited visibility; audit trail is fragmented across threads and files.
Generic project management (e.g., Asana/Trello) Task-based approvals possible, but usually manual and not content-aware; audit trails are activity logs, not compliance-ready.
CMS-only workflow (e.g., WordPress approvals) Basic editorial approvals; often limited to roles/states and lacks cross-team gates (legal, brand) and SLA automation.
Enterprise DXP suites Strong governance and automation, but heavy configuration and admin overhead; slower to adapt.
Collaboration and version control
Our content publishing workflow tool Inline comments, real-time collaboration, version history, and structured feedback tied to specific content elements.
Traditional methods (email + spreadsheets) Multiple copies and attachments; version confusion and rework are common.
Generic project management (e.g., Asana/Trello) Comments and file attachments, but content versions often live elsewhere; context switching increases friction.
CMS-only workflow (e.g., WordPress approvals) In-editor collaboration varies by CMS; feedback may be limited and not standardized across channels.
Enterprise DXP suites Robust collaboration and versioning, but can be complex and requires training.
Multi-channel publishing and consistency
Our content publishing workflow tool Publish once to multiple channels (CMS, social, email, knowledge base) with templates, reusable blocks, and brand/SEO checks.
Traditional methods (email + spreadsheets) Copy-paste across tools; inconsistent formatting and brand voice; high error rate.
Generic project management (e.g., Asana/Trello) Channel execution relies on separate tools; consistency depends on manual checklists.
CMS-only workflow (e.g., WordPress approvals) Strong for the CMS channel, weaker for coordinated publishing to social/email/other destinations.
Enterprise DXP suites Broad channel coverage, but integrating new channels can be slow and costly.
Visibility, analytics, and bottleneck reporting
Our content publishing workflow tool Dashboards for stage throughput, cycle time, bottlenecks, ownership, and content performance tied back to workflow steps.
Traditional methods (email + spreadsheets) Limited reporting; requires manual compilation; bottlenecks discovered late.
Generic project management (e.g., Asana/Trello) Good task reporting, but not tied to content lifecycle metrics or publishing outcomes.
CMS-only workflow (e.g., WordPress approvals) Basic editorial status reporting; limited cross-functional workflow insights.
Enterprise DXP suites Advanced reporting possible, but often requires BI setup and specialized admins.
Setup time, scalability, and total cost
Our content publishing workflow tool Fast onboarding with templates; scales from small teams to enterprise with role-based access and governance controls at predictable cost.
Traditional methods (email + spreadsheets) Low tool cost but high hidden labor cost; scales poorly as volume and stakeholders grow.
Generic project management (e.g., Asana/Trello) Moderate setup; scales for tasks but requires add-ons and extra tools to cover content-specific needs.
CMS-only workflow (e.g., WordPress approvals) Low-to-moderate setup if you already use the CMS; scaling across teams and channels increases complexity.
Enterprise DXP suites High licensing and implementation cost; long deployments, but can scale for complex enterprises.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our platform and features.

The tool guides content from idea to publication using a structured workflow: create a brief (topic, audience, goal), assign tasks (writer, editor, approver), draft in a shared editor, run quality checks (readability, links, metadata), request approvals, then schedule or publish to connected channels (e.g., CMS/blog). Each stage has status tracking, due dates, comments, and version history so teams can see what’s blocked, what’s approved, and what’s ready to publish.

It supports SEO at multiple points in the workflow: keyword and intent fields in the brief, on-page recommendations while drafting (title length, headings, keyword placement, internal/external link checks), and pre-publish validation for SEO metadata (meta title/description, canonical URL, slug rules, image alt text). You can also add required SEO checkpoints to your workflow (e.g., “SEO review” stage) and enforce publishing rules so content can’t move forward until key SEO fields are completed.

Yes. You can customize stages (e.g., Briefing → Draft → Legal Review → SEO Review → Final Approval → Scheduled), set role-based permissions, and define required fields per stage. Automations let you route items based on content type (blog post vs. landing page), auto-assign reviewers, trigger notifications on status changes, and use templates for briefs, outlines, and publishing checklists to keep work consistent.

The workflow supports multilingual content by letting you set a content language per item, manage translations as linked tasks (source + localized versions), and keep approvals separate for each locale. You can store localized SEO fields (title tags, meta descriptions, slugs) and schedule releases per language. If your publishing destination supports the language, the tool can publish the correct localized version and maintain language-specific statuses and deadlines.

A free plan is typically available for individuals or small teams to try the core workflow features, creating content items, using basic templates, assigning tasks, and tracking statuses. Advanced capabilities such as custom automations, multi-step approvals, multiple workspaces, higher publishing limits, or premium integrations (e.g., enterprise CMS connections) may require a paid plan. Check the pricing page in-app to see current limits for users, workflows, and publishing connections.
