Weekly Workflow
The weekly workflow plans your content calendar and identifies recycling candidates for the upcoming week.
The weekly workflow is a planning job, not a generation job. It sets up the context that makes the daily workflow smarter.
What it does
Run it at the start of each week (Monday morning, before the daily workflow).
Step by step:
-
Reviews the upcoming week's calendar slots: Looks at all calendar slots for the next 7 days and checks whether any content is already scheduled or generated for those slots.
-
Identifies recycling candidates: Looks through older published content for high-performing pieces that are due for another round. Content that performed well 3+ months ago is flagged as a recycling candidate.
-
Surfaces gaps: Flags slots that have no content planned, helping you spot weeks where you're likely to fall short.
-
Updates Decision Engine recency scores: Resets and recalculates recency weights so the daily workflow has fresh scoring data when it runs.
What the weekly workflow does NOT do
It doesn't generate content. That's the daily workflow's job. Think of the weekly workflow as the operations meeting before the work week: planning and prioritization, not execution.
Relationship to the daily workflow

C --> D[Content items\nin queue]The weekly workflow creates the context that the daily workflow uses. If you skip the weekly workflow, the daily workflow still works, but it won't have up-to-date recency scoring or recycling suggestions.
When to run it
Recommended: Every Monday before the daily workflow runs.
You can trigger it manually from the Workflows dashboard, or set up a cron job to run it automatically every Monday morning.
If you add new topics or change your posting schedule mid-week, run the weekly workflow again to update the context. It's safe to run multiple times.
Recycling candidates
The weekly workflow surfaces recycling candidates in your Approval Queue, labeled as "Recycled." These are previously published pieces that the system suggests reposting (often on a different platform or with updated framing).
Recycled content still goes through the normal approval flow; you decide whether to approve it or not.
