ContentFlow

Plan, generate, review, and publish multi-platform content from one idea.

ContentFlow is the content planner and publisher inside ConnectEngine OS. It starts with a raw idea captured in the dashboard, through the Telegram bot, or from Reddit and RSS trend sources. Claude rewrites that idea for the selected platforms, AIML generates square and landscape visuals, and the finished draft moves into a review workflow before it is scheduled or published.

The module is built for teams that want a steady publishing rhythm without handing brand voice to a generic content tool. Sources, publishing destinations, AI prompts, source material, voice profiles, and schedule settings live in ContentFlow settings. Human approval stays in the loop through the planner, detail page, and Telegram preview gates.

Quick start

  1. Sign up for ConnectEngine OS and open the ContentFlow planner from the dashboard.
  2. Add your first raw idea manually or send it to the CE Content Ideas Telegram bot.
  3. Choose the target platforms for that idea. The selection is remembered as a hidden default for future manual ideas.
  4. Click Generate to create platform-specific rewrites and companion images.
  5. Review every rewrite in the idea detail page, edit wording inline, and regenerate only the text or images that need work.
  6. Configure at least one publishing destination such as the built-in blog, WordPress, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook.
  7. Schedule the post or publish it after review. Scheduler previews and autopilot warnings require explicit GO before anything is posted.

Core features

Content planner

The planner is the main workspace for drafts, ready posts, scheduled ideas, posted content, and archived items. It supports list and calendar views, filters by status and source, quick actions, and a new idea dialog. Monthly calendar dots show publish days so gaps in the schedule are easy to spot.

AI rewrites per platform

Claude turns one idea into platform-specific drafts for X, LinkedIn, Reddit, and blog content, with documented prompt rules for tone and format. X is short and punchy, LinkedIn is hook-first and professional, Reddit is genuine rather than salesy, and blog output is longer-form with subheadings.

Image generation and upload

AIML API with the Flux model generates square and landscape images for each idea. Images are downloaded from the CDN, uploaded to the ContentFlow media bucket, and can be regenerated without changing the text. Users can also upload their own images or choose from the Photoshoot library.

Sources and trending suggestions

Content sources define the Reddit subreddits and RSS feeds used by the trending workflow. The workflow runs on a schedule, asks Claude for content angles, applies a quality filter, and inserts suggestions as draft ideas for review.

Publishing destinations

Destinations define what a client can publish to. The documented platforms include built-in blog, WordPress, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit. Blog destinations can route to the built-in Supabase-backed blog or to WordPress draft creation through the WordPress REST API.

Scheduling and approval gates

ContentFlow supports scheduled publishing, recurring publish days, time selection, timezone awareness, and Telegram reminders when tomorrow's slot is empty. Scheduler previews and autopilot early warnings both use GO, HOLD, EDIT, and CANCEL controls so publishing remains explicit.

Knowledge, voice, and claim verification

Source material upload, voice profiles, and the knowledge base feed context into content generation. A separate claim verification layer checks generated drafts against source material, knowledge context, primary source URLs, and web research. Unsupported claims move the idea to needs_review with warnings.

Settings explained

Sources
Reddit subreddits and RSS feeds used by the trending workflow to suggest new content angles.
Destinations
The active publishing targets a client can use, such as built-in blog, WordPress, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, or Reddit.
AI Prompts
Editable system prompts per platform. Defaults include platform tone, length limits, citation rules, and banned filler language.
Email Branding
Branding fields for email output, including logo, color, company details, and English/German footer content.
Source Material
Uploaded documents, URLs, and text used by the RAG collection so drafts can reference approved context.
Voice Profiles
Structured brand voice data stored in the knowledge base and used by generation and LinkedIn discovery.
Autopilot
Master toggle plus auto-generate, auto-schedule, Telegram approval, and safety limits for automated draft creation.
Target platforms
Per-idea platform selection. Toggling platform pills also saves a hidden default used for later manual ideas.

Common pitfalls

  • Do not confuse destinations with target platforms. Destinations define what is wired up; target platforms define what a specific idea will use.
  • Reddit posting is documented as not set up, although Reddit trending discovery works without authentication for public subreddits.
  • LinkedIn publishing uses a manual access token in the documented setup and needs periodic renewal.
  • The WordPress route creates draft posts for review instead of publishing them live immediately.
  • Ideas flagged by claim verification need review before they should move forward.
