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 read its status on the Workflows page.

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, and that is the whole feature. 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. There is no drag-and-drop builder, and there is no research-to-creative mode.

You author a workflow by talking to Atlas, not by filling out a form. The Workflows page under a project is a read-only list of what you have started, with three template prompts to get you going. Click one and a ready-made request drops straight into chat.

One honest note before you start. This is a new feature. The machinery is shipped and real, but no workflow has run in production yet, so the lessons ahead teach what it can do and where its edges are, not a routine anyone has worn in.
