Content Calendar

The calendar workflow is where Influgen starts to feel like an operating system instead of a generator. Instead of creating one post at a time, you give the platform a week, a posting cadence, and a set of channels to target.

What the calendar generator needs​

Weekly generation accepts:

  • character_id
  • week in YYYY-MM-DD
  • posts_per_day
  • platforms
  • trending_topics
  • guidance
  • target_language

The request creates a background job rather than blocking the UI. That lets the planner produce multiple items and push them into the queue as they are prepared.

What the planner does​

For each day in the selected week, Influgen decides:

  • which platform gets a slot
  • which content type fits that platform
  • what post angle matches the character niche
  • what prompt and caption direction should be used

The planner is platform-aware. A week aimed at Instagram can include stories, carousels, and reels. A week aimed at X or Pinterest will stay inside their supported formats.

Good input patterns​

Posts per day​

Start conservative. One high-quality post per day is usually better than filling the queue with noise. Increase volume only after the character performs well and your approval loop stays manageable.

Use trending topics to shape the week, not dominate it. Good topics narrow the angle. Bad topics force the character off-brand.

Guidance​

Guidance is where you tell the planner how to behave. Useful guidance includes:

  • campaign priority
  • product launch context
  • weekly tone
  • creative constraints

Example:

Keep the week premium and education-led. Focus on Pilates posture tips, one recovery post, and one founder-style lifestyle post. Avoid meme energy.

Reviewing the calendar​

Once generated, you can inspect the week through the calendar view:

  • each day contains zero or more planned posts
  • each post has platform, type, prompt, caption, hashtags, and CTA data
  • every planned item also exists as a real content item in the queue

That means the calendar is not a separate planning artifact. It is a schedule-backed view of actual queued work.

When to regenerate the week​

Regenerate the week if:

  • too many slots feel repetitive
  • the platform mix is off
  • the trending topics pulled the character away from its niche
  • the timing or volume no longer matches the campaign

The calendar should reduce operator work, not trap you in a rigid plan.
