Running Your First Workflow
Run the Daily Workflow, get content into the approval queue, and schedule your first post.
After completing the onboarding wizard and connecting your social accounts, you're ready to generate your first batch of content.
Check the preflight panel
Go to Workflows in the sidebar. Before running, check the preflight panel at the top.
Each check tells you whether your workspace is properly configured:
- 🔴 Red (blocking): Must be fixed before the workflow can run. Common causes: Anthropic key missing, no calendar slots for today.
- 🟡 Yellow (warning): Affects quality but won't stop the workflow. Common causes: no topics configured, no brand voice.
- 🟢 Green: All good.
If you see "No calendar slots for today" in red, it means there are no content slots scheduled for today. This is normal if today isn't one of your scheduled posting days. Run the Weekly Workflow first to plan out the week's slots.
See Preflight Checks for the full reference.
Run the Daily Workflow
Click Run on the Daily Workflow card.
The workflow will:
- Check your news feeds for relevant stories
- Load today's calendar slots
- For each slot, select a topic and generate content
- Route content to the approval queue
This takes 1–3 minutes depending on how many slots are scheduled for today.
Review the results
When the workflow finishes, go to the Approvals page in the sidebar. You should see new content items waiting for review.
Each item shows:
- The platform it's for (X, LinkedIn, Farcaster, Paragraph)
- The content type (thread, post, essay)
- The topic it was written about
- A preview of the content
Click an item to read the full content.
Approve (and edit if needed)
Read the content. If it sounds right, click Approve. If it needs tweaking, click Edit first, make your changes, then approve.
If the content doesn't sound like you at all, click Reject and see Content Doesn't Sound Right to improve your brand voice configuration.
Schedule it
After approving, click Schedule. A dialog appears where you can:
- Pick a specific posting time, or
- Let Borker choose the optimal time for that platform
Click Confirm to send the post to Postiz. It will be published at the selected time.
What just happened
- Your brand voice configuration was used to generate content via Claude
- You reviewed and approved a piece of content
- Borker sent it to Postiz with a scheduled publish time
- Postiz will publish it to your connected platform at that time
Next steps
- Run the Weekly Workflow to plan out the full week's calendar slots
- Improve your brand voice if the output doesn't sound right yet. See Brand Voice Settings.
- Add more topics to give the AI more to write about. See Topic Pools.
- Set up auto-approval if you trust the output quality. See Automation Settings.
Your first few workflow runs will give you a good baseline. Most teams spend 1–2 weeks refining their brand voice and topic pools, then switch to auto-approval for routine content.
