Some channels are not automated. You publish them yourself, and GrowthPilot keeps the record. See Publishing channels for which channels are manual.
How to do it
- When a channel shows Manual required (it also appears in My work), open the content item. You can also do this early, while the channel is still Scheduled.
- Under Publishing, select Mark as published manually on that channel. A Publish on channel checklist opens:
- Copy the approved text: select Copy text.
- Download the attached media: select Download file name for each file.
- Post it on the channel at the scheduled date and time shown.
- Optionally paste the Post link.
- Tick I published this approved version on channel and select Confirm published.
You'll see "Recorded as published manually." The channel then shows Marked as published manually, with the time and a View post link if you added one.
Good to know
- The pack always contains the exact approved version.
- If the content changes after approval, the pack is unavailable until the new version is approved.
- If an automatic channel fails and you post it yourself, use Mark as published manually to keep the record accurate.
