Scheduled publishing of multimedia and eBook content

Purpose

1. Automate the scheduled publishing of multimedia and eBook content, including images, videos, audio, and eBooks, across multiple digital platforms to ensure timely, consistent distribution and maximize audience reach.

2. Centralized automation of release timing, file formatting, content tagging, and meta-data assignment for cohesive content lifecycle management.

3. Removes manual intervention in repetitive publishing tasks, automating compliance checks, notification flows, and audience segmentation strategies.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automation initiates based on pre-set time/date schedules, content approvals, or completion of content creation pipelines.

2. Automated triggers from third-party sources (CMS updates, DAM entries, or cloud storage events) start the content publishing workflow.
