AutomationsUse Case

Publish on rules, not reminders

Pick a trigger, choose what happens, and FoPost runs it every time. A new article becomes a post on every account you chose, rewritten in your brand voice, with an approval step if you want one and a credit ceiling so the bill never surprises you.

An automation with an RSS trigger, an AI rewrite action, and publish targets

Triggers You Already Have

A new RSS item, a new blog post, a fixed schedule, or a webhook from any tool you run.

Rewritten, Not Reposted

AI turns the source into a post in your brand voice, sized for each network it lands on.

Costs Stay Bounded

Every automation carries its own credit ceiling. When it is reached, the automation pauses.

Trigger

Start From Something That Already Happens

Most teams already produce a signal worth posting about: an article goes live, a feed updates, a release ships. Point FoPost at that signal. Background workers watch the feed or wait for the webhook, so you never have to remember to copy a link into the composer.

Choosing a trigger for an automation

RSS And Blog Posts

Watch any feed or your own blog and fire once per new item, never twice.

Schedules

Run every morning, every Monday, or on a cron you define.

Webhooks

Send a request from your CMS, store, or CI and pass the payload into the run.

Act

Decide What Each Run Produces

Chain the actions you need. Rewrite the source with AI using a brand you have set up, so the tone, hashtags, and length match the account. Publish to the accounts you pick, or notify a channel so a person can act. FoPost Agent can build the same chain for you from a plain description.

Rewrite In Brand Voice

One source becomes a short post for X and a longer one for LinkedIn.

Publish To Chosen Accounts

Pick the exact accounts per automation. Nothing else is touched.

Notify

Ping a webhook or a teammate when a run completes or needs a look.

Control

Keep A Person And A Budget In The Loop

Automation should not mean surprise posts or surprise bills. Add an approval step and every run waits in the queue until someone signs off. Set a credit ceiling and the automation pauses itself the moment it would cross it. Nothing publishes without an explicit action or approval.

Optional Approval

Review the rewritten post, edit it, then approve or reject in one click.

Credit Ceiling

A per-automation cap on AI credits, set by you, enforced every run.

Pause Any Time

Switch an automation off without deleting it, and back on later.

Review

Know What Ran And What It Made

Every run is logged: what triggered it, what the AI produced, which accounts it reached, and what it cost in credits. When a run fails or a network rejects a post, the reason is right there. Pair it with analytics to see whether automated posts perform like the ones you wrote by hand.

Automations questions, answered

Will an automation post without me knowing?

Only if you set it to. Add an approval step and every run waits for a person. Without one, it publishes to exactly the accounts you chose, and every run is in the history.

How does the credit ceiling work?

Each automation has its own cap on AI credits. Before a run rewrites anything, the cap is checked. When it would be exceeded, the automation pauses and you are told why.

Can I trigger an automation from my own system?

Yes. Every automation can expose a webhook URL. Send a request with your payload and the run starts, using the payload as its source.

What happens if a feed publishes the same item twice?

Items are tracked per automation, so a repeated item does not produce a repeated post.

Can I run different rules for different clients?

Yes. Automations live inside a workspace, so each client gets its own rules, accounts, brands, and credit limits.

Can I manage automations from code?

Automations are available through the REST API, the TypeScript SDK, and the MCP server, and FoPost Agent can create or edit them from a chat.
