Describe the app to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a content workflow with content pieces (title, type, channel, owner, due date, status), a review log (reviewer, date, feedback, approved/rejected), a brief template per content type, and a dashboard showing content pieces by stage."
- 3
Set up your content types
Create brief templates for each content type: blog post, social caption, white paper, email campaign. Each type has different required fields and review steps.
- 4
Start new pieces with a brief
Every piece of content starts with a completed brief: topic, audience, goal, key messages, SEO keywords, and deadline. Briefs prevent misaligned drafts.
- 5
Run reviews through the workflow
When a draft is ready for review, update the status and assign a reviewer. The reviewer reads the piece, logs feedback, and marks it as approved or requesting revisions.
- 6
Track content through to publication
Once approved, update the status to Scheduled or Published with the publication date and URL. This closes the loop on each piece.
