    Implementing recurring formats with templates

    You define recurring formats as a content structure on the channel. Templates from the catalog give you a ready-made starting point.

    Afterwards you have:

    There are no post templates that you save from a post. You create a recurring format as a content structure, often from a template, and link it to a channel. Every new post for this channel then follows the format.

    What is this about?

    Many teams produce the same format over and over: a weekly review, a job posting, a newsletter. In ALLMEDIA.AI you don’t save a post template for this. The format lives in the content structure: structure, length, rules and sample posts. If the content structure is linked to a channel, every new post for this channel automatically follows the format. Tone and audience come from the channel’s brand voice and target audience.

    Templates exist as ready-made starting points in the catalog: for content structures, brand voices, target audiences, media pipelines and post-processing routines, as well as for entire channels. You take over a template and adapt it.

    Step by step

    1. Open content structures. Go to Settings → Content & channels → Content structures. Here you see all content structures of your workspace.
    2. Create a new structure. Click New Content Type. In the full-screen view “Create content structure” („Inhaltsstruktur anlegen“) you choose Choose from templates to take over a curated template as a basis, or Create yourself to start with the AI assistant or step by step.
    3. Define the format. Describe the sections in the desired order, for example introduction, main part, call to action. Define length, sample posts and the “Rules for every post”. Under “What the AI receives” you see which text is sent to the AI with every generation.
    4. Test the format. Under “Create test structure” you enter test content and click Generate sample. This lets you check whether the result matches the format.
    5. Link to the channel. Attach the structure to the channel in the channel canvas. It’s faster in the composer: Select channels opens “Select channels”, where you set the “Structure” and the “Voice” for each channel. The selection is saved right away.
    6. Create posts in the format. In the composer, you only describe the current topic and choose the channel. The AI delivers the post in the stored format.
    7. Maintain the format. If the format changes permanently, edit the content structure. For a variation, choose Duplicate in the list and adapt the copy.

    Templates in other places

    • Channel from template: When creating a channel, choose From Template. Brand voice, content structure and target audiences are pre-filled to match the channel type.
    • Quick create: In the “Select channels” dialog you create a new channel from a template directly via “Quick create:” or More templates.
    • Brand voices and target audiences: Here, too, the create view offers Choose from templates or Create yourself.
    • Media pipelines and post-processing: Both areas have their own templates that you can copy and adapt.

    The ALLMEDIA team maintains which templates are in the catalog. Examples of content structures are “LinkedIn Company Post”, “Newsletter”, “SEO Article” as well as “GEO blog article” („GEO-Blog-Artikel“) and “Magazine article” („Magazin-Artikel“).

    Tips

    • One format per content structure. For the same platform with two formats, create two structures and choose the right one per channel.
    • Tone belongs in the brand voice, not in the content structure. This way the voice stays the same for all formats.
    • Phrase sections as clear instructions rather than mere headings. This improves the results.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I save a finished post as a template?

    No. There is no “Save as template” function for posts. Instead, store a successful post as a sample post in the content structure.

    Can I have posts created automatically at a fixed rhythm?

    Not via templates. For regularly new topics there is the Idea Scout, which can also create posts if needed.
