Chapter 19 · Operate

Workflows

After this chapter you can ask Atlas to author a durable workflow that either schedules creatives you already made or generates a batch and then schedules it, and check its status by asking Atlas.

Most of what you ask Atlas for comes back in one turn: a creative, a calendar, an answer. A workflow is for the jobs too big to finish in a single turn. You describe the goal, Atlas writes a durable plan, and that plan keeps running in the background after you close the tab.

There are exactly two shapes. One takes creatives you already made and spreads them across a run of days on the social channels you have connected. The other makes a fresh batch first, waits for the renders to finish, then plans and schedules them.

You start a long job by talking to Atlas, not by filling out a form, and you check on it the same way. There is no separate Workflows page anymore. Autopilot is the one place for automation that you build on a canvas and run on a schedule or trigger. The last lesson shows where each one fits.

One honest note before you start. This is a new feature. The machinery is shipped and real, so the lessons ahead teach what it can do and where its edges are, not a routine anyone has worn in.
