Publishing workflows for Gemini
Gemini workflows often blend text, research, images, files, and tool calls. Postly gives those outputs a destination: drafts, media-rich posts, scheduled campaigns, validation checks, and analytics loops.
Create visual campaign concepts and prepare the publishing plan in Postly.
Try: “Find the strongest content themes in my Postly analytics and propose next week's posts.”
Use analytics to compare platforms and recommend next content themes.
Try: “Create a media-rich campaign plan with captions, CTAs, hashtags, and scheduling notes.”
Before a write action, confirm content, media, workspace, destinations, date, time, and timezone. Use team approvals where required. Keep the returned post ID and inspect its destination status; accepted or scheduled does not mean published.
Scheduled agent runs depend on your assistant’s orchestration. For recurring source-based publishing, use Auto Post. Your editor and calendar remain available throughout.
Connection and publishing help
No Postly tools appear
Check the endpoint and connection method, enable the tools, and start a fresh session. Client plans and administrator settings can affect custom MCP access.
The workspace or channel is missing
Check the allowed workspace named in the error. Use its workspace ID, switch to the correct API key, or edit Workspace access in API keys. Reconnect a channel if its provider authorization expired.
An accepted request has not published
Retrieve the Postly post ID and inspect the schedule, approval state, and destination results. Resolve the specific validation or provider error before retrying.
How do I stop the connection?
Disable the client connection and revoke its API key in Postly. Review scheduled posts separately; revoking a key does not cancel already accepted publishing work.
