With Autopilot, a queue stops being a fixed list of dates. You describe the moment you care about, and the routine takes it from there — drafting, scheduling and pushing the post out across the accounts you picked.
In this guide we will build a routine from one start condition and watch it run end to end.
What is a start condition?
A start condition is the event that wakes a routine up. It can be a moment in time, something a teammate does inside the workspace, or a signal arriving from a service you have connected.
- Scheduled. Every Tuesday at 09:15, or the third weekday of each month.
- Workspace. A draft is approved, a label is added, or a queue drops below 4 posts.
- Incoming. A new item lands in a feed, a form is submitted, or a webhook fires.
Every routine holds exactly one start condition, so a routine always has a single, readable reason to run. If you need the same set of actions to run for two different reasons, duplicate the routine and give each copy its own condition.
