Prerequisites
- Schedule a Content Plan — Where the dates in the queue came from
Manage Your Production Queue
Every piece of content waiting to be produced, across every plan, in one list — with the controls to change its date, remove it, or produce it immediately.
Before You Begin
- At least one content plan with topics you have scheduled
- An understanding of what happens once a plan is Running
- An account balance, but only if you intend to produce something immediately. Looking at the queue, rescheduling and rejecting all cost nothing.
Once a plan is Running, each of its topics carries its own production date and is produced on or after that date without you. That is the point of scheduling. But a plan screen only shows you one plan, and the thing you usually want to know spans all of them: what is Zyntro about to produce, and when.
Queued Assets answers that. It lists every dated piece of content that has not been produced yet, drawn from every plan for the brand you are working in, soonest first. Anything already produced or rejected has left the queue and is not shown.
It is also where you intervene. Three controls sit on every row — reschedule, reject, and produce now — so changing your mind about one piece does not mean reopening its plan and rescheduling a batch.
Steps
Open Queued Assets
Go to Marketing → Content → Queued Assets.
The heading line tells you the size of the commitment: how many assets are queued, what they will come to in total if all of them are produced, and the price per asset. That total is a projection of spend still to come, not a charge — each asset is paid for as it is produced.
The queue belongs to the brand you are currently working in. If you run more than one brand, switch brand to see the other queue.
Read the four counts
Four counts sit across the top, and they are the fastest way to understand the state of the queue:
- Upcoming — dated for a future day. Nothing to do.
- Due today — dated for today. Produced by one of today's production runs.
- Overdue — the date has passed and the asset has not been produced yet. This is usually normal; see the note below.
- Not queued — the asset has a date but will be skipped. This one needs you.
Each count is also a filter. Click Overdue to see only overdue assets; click it again to clear it.
Deal with anything marked Not queued
If any asset is Not queued, a warning sits above the list telling you how many. These assets keep their date and look scheduled everywhere else, but the production run will pass over them.
It happens when a topic is approved after it was already scheduled — the approval replaces the scheduled state, and only the scheduled state puts an asset in the queue.
The repair is a reschedule. Open the asset's reschedule control, confirm the date you want (the existing date is fine), and save. That returns it to the queue.
Narrow a long queue
Four filters sit above the list and all of them combine:
- The search box matches the topic title, the content type, the target keyword, the audience segment, the offering and the content angle.
- All funnel stages limits to Top, Middle or Bottom, with the count of each.
- All offerings limits to one of your offerings.
- All audiences limits to one audience segment.
The count on the right reads N of M assets while any filter is active, and Clear filters resets everything including a state card.
Reschedule an asset
Use the calendar icon on the row. The panel names the asset and offers a date, which you can set to today or any day after it.
Saving writes the new date, returns the asset to the queue, and reloads the list so the ordering and the state label are right. The asset's plan is marked Running again if it was not already.
To move a piece earlier than today, use Produce now instead — the reschedule control will not accept a past date.
Reject an asset you no longer want
Use the trash icon. The panel names the asset and spells out the consequences before you confirm.
Rejecting removes the date, takes the asset out of the queue, and charges nothing. Its plan's item count drops accordingly, because that count measures what is committed to production.
The topic itself is not deleted. It stays in its content plan with everything Zyntro researched for it, so you can approve and schedule it again later.
Produce an asset now
Use the sparkle icon when you want a piece now rather than on its date. The panel lists exactly what is about to happen and what it costs:
- The full asset is written from its plan brief — the keyword, the angle and the brief you reviewed when you approved the topic.
- A cover image is generated in your brand's visual style.
- Quality control runs, and the finished piece is saved as a draft you can edit.
Confirm, and the screen waits while the work happens. It takes a few minutes. Keep the tab open and you are taken straight to the finished draft; the charge is applied when the piece completes.
Result
You can see every piece of content Zyntro is going to produce for this brand and when, and you can act on any of it without going back through a plan.
An asset you produced immediately is a draft in Produced Content, ready to edit and publish. An asset you rescheduled sits at its new date. An asset you rejected has left the queue but is still a researched topic in its plan.
Nothing else needs doing. Everything left in the queue is produced on or after its date.
Tip: Produce now is the answer to a deadline. A launch piece, a response to something in your market, an asset you want to see before committing to the rest of a plan — producing one immediately costs the same as waiting for its date and tells you straight away whether the output is what you wanted.
Warning: Rejecting is not reversible from this screen. The asset leaves the queue immediately. The topic survives in its plan, so nothing is lost, but putting it back means approving and scheduling it again from the plan screen.
Common questions
A production run takes one asset each time it runs, so a deep queue drains over days rather than all at once. The run does not work strictly oldest-first either, so one asset can wait while others around it are produced. If a specific piece matters, use Produce now rather than waiting for the queue to reach it.
No. Only production costs money, and only when an asset actually completes. Looking, filtering, rescheduling and rejecting are all free.
The offering the topic was researched from has since been deleted or archived. The asset is unaffected — everything needed to produce it was captured when the plan was built — so it keeps its place in the queue with a readable label instead of being dropped.
Not from one click. Produce now works on a single asset, deliberately, because each one is charged and takes a few minutes. To bring several forward, reschedule them to today and let the production runs work through them.
Yes. The work continues whether or not you are watching. What you lose by leaving is being taken to the finished draft — you will find it under Produced Content instead.
On their own plan screen, not here. This queue is only the assets carrying a production date. Topics you have not scheduled yet are still proposals.
