AI agent for social media coordinators
Post Scheduling Preflight Agent
Every scheduled post passes technical and brand checks before it goes live
What it does
A scheduled post with a broken link or the wrong image size looks careless, and these slips are easy to miss in a busy queue. Each afternoon this agent reviews every post scheduled for the next 48 hours. It checks image and video sizes against each platform's specs, link destinations and tracking tags, alt text, tagged accounts, character limits, hashtags against a banned list, and posting time in the audience's time zone. It fixes simple failures, such as missing alt text, in a draft copy and runs the checks again. Wording changes and anything it cannot fix, like a missing video file or a dead link, go to the coordinator. The coordinator approves every change to scheduled posts. Edge case: a post tagging an account that has been renamed is caught because the tag no longer resolves.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
