Auto-Scheduling
Set it and forget it. Let DailyDraft automatically draft and send your newsletter on a schedule.
Paid Feature: Auto-scheduling requires a paid newsletter plan.
How Scheduling Works
With auto-scheduling enabled:
- Draft time - DailyDraft creates a draft with AI-curated content
- Review window - You have time to review and edit
- Send time - Newsletter automatically sends to subscribers
Setting Up Your Schedule
- Go to Settings → Schedule
- Toggle "Enable Scheduling" on
- Select your publishing days (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
- Set draft time (when AI creates the draft)
- Set send time (when newsletter goes out)
- Click "Save Schedule"
Schedule Settings
| Setting | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Draft Days | Which days to create drafts | Mon, Wed, Fri |
| Draft Time | When AI generates the draft | 5:00 AM |
| Send Time | When newsletter sends | 9:00 AM |
| Auto-Send | Send without manual approval | On/Off |
Review Window
The time between draft and send is your review window. Use this time to:
- Review AI-curated articles
- Edit summaries and commentary
- Remove or add articles
- Verify everything looks correct
Tip: Set draft time 4+ hours before send time to give yourself enough review time.
Auto-Send Option
With Auto-Send enabled: The newsletter sends automatically at send time, even if you don't review it.
With Auto-Send disabled: You must manually approve each issue before it sends. You'll receive an email when a draft is ready.
