- Category plans: set a publishing cadence per site and category with sequential, even or random distribution modes.
- Bulk scheduling: drop a finished generation batch straight into the publish queue instead of setting times article by article.
- Multi-site parallelism: publish tasks for different sites run independently and in parallel; one slow site never blocks the others.
Feature / Scheduled Publishing
Hand publishing to a scheduler you can trust
The real test of scheduled publishing is not the happy path — it is what happens after a restart, a transient CMS error or a network timeout: can the queue resume, and will it double-publish? The AI Publish publish queue is designed around recovery and no-duplicates.
Schedules that follow each site
After the interruption: recover, never repeat
Reliability shows up in failure scenarios:
- Recoverable tasks: after a service interruption the task queue resumes from where it stopped — no need to start over.
- No duplicate publishing: every article carries a unique identifier, so a retry never produces a second identical post in the CMS.
- No double billing: no matter how many retries an article takes, it is billed as a single successful result.
- Visible failures: the failing node, error reason and next action are shown directly in the task record — no log spelunking.
Result tracking and link capture
- The final URL of every published article flows back automatically, mapped one-to-one to the task, category and title.
- Publish status and search submission status are tracked separately: a successful publish does not imply indexing — verify each on its own.
- After publishing, articles can flow straight into Baidu and Bing submission. See Search Submission.
Supported CMS platforms
Scheduled publishing covers all 18 supported CMS and website builders, including WordPress, PbootCMS, Typecho and Shopify. Access methods and field mappings differ by platform:
FAQ
- What if the CMS errors temporarily? The task keeps its failure reason; fix the configuration and retry. Already-published articles are never affected by retries.
- Can I pause a site's publishing schedule? Yes — both sites and tasks can be paused, and resume from where they stopped.
- Can publish times be minute-precise? Yes, scheduling granularity allows exact times per task.
