Now, for a more detailed walkthrough:

What Automations Can Do

Automations use RightBlogger’s AI and SEO research capabilities to automatically suggest topics, generate content, and queue posts on your content calendar. Once it’s set up, you’ll receive a steady flow of new, optimized content published to your website on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule that fits your niche.

If you publish videos, automations can also turn your YouTube uploads into full blog posts that embed your video automatically.

Getting Started with Automations

Before you create your first automation, you’ll want to make sure your website or platform is connected to your RightBlogger project. This allows us to schedule drafts or published posts directly to your site.

If you haven’t connected a site yet, head to Projects → Integrations and follow the steps for WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, or your preferred CMS.

Once you have an active integration, you’re ready to go.

How to Create Your First Automation

Open the Content Planner: You’ll find the planner in the left sidebar of your RightBlogger dashboard. This is where all scheduled and automated content will appear.
Click the “Automation” Button: In the top-left corner of the planner, click Automation to start creating your first automated workflow.
Add Your Website URL: Enter the homepage URL of the site you want to publish to. This ensures your automation stays tied to the correct project.
Choose Your Publishing Frequency: Select how often you want new content to be published Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. RightBlogger will automatically suggest keyword-backed topics that have real search demand based on your niche.
Select Your Publishing Integration: Choose which connected platform the automation should send posts to—perfect if you run multiple sites or projects.
Create Your Automation: Hit Create Automation and you’re done. RightBlogger will begin generating topics and scheduling content on your calendar using the frequency you selected.

Optional: YouTube → Blog Automations

If you publish on YouTube, you can also create an automation that converts every new video into a fully formatted blog post.

Just select the YouTube tab while creating an automation, connect your channel, and RightBlogger will handle the rest—embedding your video and creating long-form content for your website automatically.

Editing and Optimizing Your Automated Posts

Once your automation starts publishing content to your planner, you’ll see new auto-generated posts populate your calendar. This will happen at the frequency you choose.

You can:

Click any scheduled post to open it
Edit the draft inside Article Writer
Run an SEO Report
Use Auto-Optimize to improve rankings
Add your own stories, examples, and personal insights
Have the edited version be published

We still recommend reviewing posts before they go live. Your voice and lived experience always help content perform better. RightBlogger handles the heavy lifting, but your perspective makes the content shine.

That’s why our automations by default will send you an email when they are drafted.

What is an automation in RightBlogger, and what will it do for my blog?

A RightBlogger automation is a workflow that keeps your content plan moving without you doing every step by hand. It can suggest topics, generate drafts, and place posts onto your content calendar based on the schedule you pick.

For SEO, automations focus on keyword backed topics that have real search demand in your niche. That helps you publish content that is more likely to bring in traffic over time.

You can also use automations to repurpose YouTube videos into blog posts, including an embedded video. For more setup details and troubleshooting, see the Automations help.

Do I need to connect my website before I create an automation?

Yes. You need an active site integration so RightBlogger can send drafts or published posts to the right place.

To connect your platform, go to Projects and then Integrations, then follow the steps for your CMS like WordPress, Webflow, or Ghost. Once it is connected, you can select that integration inside the automation setup.

If you manage more than one site, this step helps you avoid publishing to the wrong project. Use the CMS integrations guide if you are not sure which setup to choose.

How do I pick Daily, Weekly, or Monthly posting, and what is best for SEO?

Pick the frequency you can realistically review and publish consistently. A steady schedule usually beats posting a lot for a week and then stopping.

For many blogs, weekly is a strong starting point because it gives you time to edit and add your own examples. As you get faster, you can increase to daily or keep weekly and focus on bigger, higher value posts.

RightBlogger will keep suggesting keyword focused topics as you publish. Over time, that consistent output can help you build topical coverage, which is good for both Google search and AI search results.

Can I edit automated posts before they publish?

Yes. You can open any scheduled post from your Content Planner, then edit it before it goes live.

In RightBlogger, you can refine the draft in the RightBlogger AI Article Writer, add your own stories, and improve clarity. This is a good time to fix facts, adjust the tone, and add internal links on your site.

You can also run SEO checks and use Auto Optimize to tighten on page SEO. By default, automations email you when a draft is ready, so you can review it at the right time.

How does the YouTube to blog automation work?

YouTube to blog automations turn each new YouTube upload into a formatted blog post. During setup, you choose the YouTube tab, connect your channel, and RightBlogger handles the draft.

The post includes an embedded video, plus long form text that can rank in search. This helps you get more value from every video and gives readers a way to learn even if they do not watch.

For best results, quickly review the draft and add a short intro, clear headings, and a few key takeaways. That small edit can make the post sound more like you and improve trust with readers.

Do RightBlogger automations publish automatically, or do they create drafts first?

Automations can queue content on your calendar and send it to your connected site as a draft or as a published post, depending on your setup. The key is that your integration allows RightBlogger to schedule content to your CMS.

Many creators prefer drafts first so they can do a fast review, add personal experience, and double check the details. That extra step often improves quality and helps posts perform better.

Once you are confident in the workflow, you can lean more on automation while still spot checking posts. The goal is consistent publishing without losing your voice.
