Overview
Blog Featured Image Automation is part of the Postly Auto Post system. It helps teams move from one-off content creation to repeatable source-based publishing workflows for blogs, social posts, images, approvals, and schedules.
Blog Featured Image Automation helps users attach relevant featured images to WordPress posts using source images, uploads, media library assets, product images, YouTube thumbnails, RSS images, or Clipyn-generated images.
Why it matters
Auto Post is designed to convert existing inputs into consistent output. Use it to reduce manual writing, keep campaigns active, and preserve brand control through review modes and workspace presets.
