Before you start
From your product to a scheduled post
- Autopilot plans a batch of posts. For each one it picks an idea and, when it fits, one of your products. In one batch, no product gets picked twice.
- For each post, the writer gets a short fact sheet. It holds your business details and only the products that post is about, with their prices.
- The writer drafts the post in your voice. The only facts it may state come from that fact sheet.
- Autopilot checks the draft against the same facts. A post with a price, claim or detail that isn't backed up is rewritten or dropped.
- If the post is about a product and you added a photo of it, Autopilot tries that photo first.
In Review Mode you see these posts when you tap Generate posts, and you swipe right on the ones you want. In Autopilot Mode they go straight onto your schedule overnight. See how Review Mode works and how to turn on Autopilot Mode.
What Autopilot reads from a product
| What you set | What it does in a post |
|---|---|
| Name and description | What the post says the product is |
| Price and sale price | The only prices a post can state |
| Show as a starting price | The price comes with starting at in front |
| Quote required | The post says a quote is needed, with no dollar amount |
| Hide price on social media | The post leaves the price out |
| Photos | Used first when a post is about that product |
What Autopilot won't do
Autopilot does
- Use the prices you set, including a sale price
- Write about a product only from its saved details
- Check each post before it's scheduled
Autopilot doesn't
- Make up a price, a discount or a deadline
- Add a claim, award or credential you didn't give it
- Promise sales, calls or customers
The checks protect your posts, but they can't read your mind. If a detail on a product is out of date, posts will repeat it. Free holds 10 products, so keep the ones you sell now.
What happens next
When you change or delete a product, Autopilot also checks the upcoming posts that mention it. See how to delete a product for what that looks like.
- Give a job a lowest price with how to set a starting price.
- Add a product quickly with how to add a product from a photo.
If something's not right
One of my products never appears in a post
Autopilot features a product when it fits an idea, and at most once in a batch. Wait for the next batch, or generate more posts in Review Mode. See how Review Mode works.
A post has the wrong price or detail
Fix the post, then fix the product so it doesn't repeat. See what to do when a post has a wrong detail.
The photo doesn't match the product
Check the photos saved on the product. See what to do when an image looks off.
