Plan it, approve it —
Timeliner posts it
The July batch: a full content calendar with client approval and auto-publishing, an AI that writes your captions, and a stack of upgrades across the client portal, downloads, and Janet — rolling out to every workspace now.
Content Calendar & Social Posting
BetaPlan, approve & publish your clients' posts — without leaving Timeliner

Every approved deliverable has one more step: getting posted. The new content calendar closes that gap — drag tasks onto a month, week, or day view (per brand, per project, or across all clients), compose the post, collect the client's sign-off, and let Timeliner publish it on schedule.
- Compose once, publish everywhere: a shared caption with per-network overrides, platform options (YouTube title, tags & Shorts, Instagram feed/reel/story, TikTok settings), hashtag groups, and a live phone preview.
- Client approval built in: clients sign off on the caption, thumbnail, and timing right from their share link — an unapproved post is held, never published.
- Auto-publishing is live for Instagram, YouTube & LinkedIn — Facebook, TikTok & X are coming next. Plan those posts on the calendar today.
- Clients connect their own accounts through a no-login invite link — no passwords changing hands.
- Best-time suggestions, drag-to-reschedule, and posting analytics (reach, engagement, top posts) close the loop.
Your AI can write the captions now
New in the APIThe Timeliner MCP & API got smarter — they can craft posts and captions for you
Any AI connected through the Timeliner MCP — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — could already read your posting calendar: captions, publish status, live post links. Now it can write, too. Tell it “draft captions for next week's posts” and the copy lands directly in each post's composer, ready for your review.
- Ask your AI to draft the copy: it reads the post's context from your workspace and writes the shared caption or per-network versions — a punchier TikTok hook, a longer YouTube description.
- Safe by design: AI can craft captions but can never schedule, move, or publish a post — and if a client already approved a caption, an AI edit sends it back for re-review.
- Works ahead of the plan: caption deliverables before they're even on the calendar, and the copy is waiting in the composer.
Janet keeps getting sharper
Janet — Timeliner's in-app AI — picked up a memory for what happens in your workspace, and a completely rebuilt first-run experience.
- Ask about history: "who did what today?", "which tasks were approved this week?" — Janet now reads the activity log and status-move history.
- Her actions and undos show up in the UI instantly — no page refresh.
- New onboarding: Janet interviews you, sets up your workspace, and shows a live preview of your client portal as it takes shape.
Client portal & share links
- Clients now see the posting plan on brand-level share links — the shared calendar shows every scheduled post.
- Your branding follows the client everywhere: per-brand portal design and per-link theme overrides now apply to logged-in guests too.
- Guest approvers can do more themselves: rename tasks, organize files in Raw files & Assets, and recreate share links.
- Bulk review is back and better on the share grid — approve buttons plus marquee drag-select.
- Quieter for clients: no notifications when your team moves statuses on a client's behalf, "Forever" links really last forever, and the end-client column is clearly labeled "Awaiting End Client Approval".
Downloads, files & imports
- Every bulk download now asks: one ZIP or separate files — on tasks, projects, folders, and share links alike.
- Brand folders zip server-side, so big raw-file folders download reliably, and project ZIPs are named after the project.
- Import brands & projects from CSV or XLSX, straight from the sidebar's + menu.
- The Raw files & Assets dialog now uses nearly the whole screen, and MXF footage is recognized as media.
Transcripts & audio
- Downloaded transcripts are named after their task (transcript-<task name>.srt/.txt).
- Audio files now transcode reliably on their own pipeline, and silent videos no longer leave transcripts stuck at 99%.
Polish & under the hood
- Insert tables in the media-task Instructions tab, and hover a variant thumbnail in list view for a live video preview.
- Variant approvals reset when the parent task advances to a new review stage — no stale sign-offs.
- File uploads batch into a single notification per upload session, with a new "File uploads" group in batch notification settings.
- Task creation now shows in the Activity Log, and discarding a running timer keeps your saved time logs.
