ARTICLE DISTRIBUTION · Workflow idea

Publish an article once. Give it a place in each of your social feeds.

When a new article goes live, prepare a share for each of your selected social accounts using its title, summary, and link. Include the featured image when one is available, and keep one channel’s publishing issue from holding up the others.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An article published on your website for the first time

“Share the newly published article across the selected social accounts with its title, summary, and link, using an available featured image where appropriate.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Uses the article’s title, summary, link, and available image to prepare and publish a share on three selected social channels when the article first goes live.

  1. Recognize a newly published article

    Start with an article the first time it is published, rather than sharing it again when an existing article is edited.

  2. Gather article details

    Use the article title, summary, link, and featured image when one is available.

  3. Prepare a share for each account

    Format the article details for the selected social accounts, including a link-style share where a featured image is not available.

  4. Publish across selected channels

    Share the article on each chosen account without requiring one channel to finish before another can proceed.

  5. Check the published shares

    Review a test article on each channel and confirm the text, link, and image appear as expected.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A share for each selected account, with a link-style post when the article has no featured image on the channel that supports that option. Each account can complete independently.

The handoff

A share for each selected account, with a link-style post when the article has no featured image on the channel that supports that option. Each account can complete independently.

Keep in mind

This process publishes without a separate approval step. Review your article and account settings before enabling it, and use a test article to confirm how each share appears.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the website and social accounts

Select the publishing site and the three social accounts where new articles should be shared.

Connect accounts authorized to publish

Confirm each selected account can publish to the intended profile or page.

Set article sharing preferences

Choose which article details to include and how to share an article when it has no featured image.

Test before sharing live articles

Publish a test article and check that edits do not create another share and that a failure on one account does not prevent the others.
