Automations

Automations are tasks that run by themselves on your server: write articles from a list or a feed, rewrite older posts, reply to comments, or keep a knowledge base current.

They’re the scheduled, in-WordPress counterpart to Trusted website management: there, your assistant does the work when you ask; here, a task does it on a timetable.

Where it is

AI Puffer › Automations. Switch it on or off under Settings › Tools.

The page has the task editor at the top, your Automations with their status below, and the Queue of items waiting, running, done or failed at the bottom.

Four kinds of task

Task	What it does	Plan
Create new content	Writes posts from a list, a CSV file, RSS feeds, web pages or a Google Sheet.	Lists and CSV free; RSS, web pages and Sheets Pro
Rewrite existing content	Improves published posts that match your filters, as they change.	Pro
Build a knowledge base	Adds your posts and pages to a knowledge store, and keeps it current.	Free
Reply to comments	Writes replies to new comments.	Free

Make one

1. Select New automation and choose what to automate.
2. Fill in the source, then step through AI, Content, Images, SEO, Knowledge and Finish. Only the steps that apply appear. Quick create skips ahead with recommended settings.
3. On Finish, choose how often it runs (once, every 5, 15 or 30 minutes, hourly, twice daily, daily or weekly) and select Save task.

Lists and CSV files run once. Feeds, sheets, rewrites, comments and knowledge run on their schedule.

Look after them

Each task has Edit, Pause or Resume, Run Now and Delete. In the Queue, search, filter by status, Retry a failed item or delete items.

If the AI provider runs out of credits or rejects the key, the task pauses itself with a message. Fix the cause, then Resume the task or Retry the item.
