The monthly plan answers the question of what to post. The AI fills the slots in your cadence with content ideas, each one with its reasoning. You keep the good ones, discard the rest, and send them to the calendar.
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Connect at least one network in .
- Fill out your brand profile.
- Generating the plan uses AI credits.
Step by step
- Step 1:
Open and click Monthly plan.
- Step 2:
The first time, click Set cadence.
- Step 3:
For each account, choose the Format of each post for the week and, if you'd like, the days. If no day is set, Cognizy spreads them across the week. Check the total posts per week and click Save cadence.
- Step 4:
Choose the month at the top and click Generate plan. The AI takes about a minute to put together the content ideas.
- Step 5:
The plan opens with the month's focus and the content ideas, each with the day, network, format, and reasoning behind the post. Click Discard on the ones that don't work. You can change the day by clicking the date.
- Step 6:
Once you've reviewed the ideas, click Send at the bottom of the screen: the button shows how many ideas will go to the calendar. They're added as drafts, on the suggested day. Generate again redoes the plan, and Discard draft deletes everything.
How to know it worked
After sending, the plan's posts appear in the calendar as drafts, each on its suggested day.
If something goes wrong
The plan came with few posts.
The AI only fills the slots in your cadence. Increase the number of posts per week in Cadence and generate again.
Next step
Open each draft in the calendar to write the caption and generate the artwork.
