When we set out to publish weekly at Genixovate, our process was a patchwork of manual steps. Every week, we’d chase down drafts, update our editorial calendar, schedule social posts, and send out newsletters—each task handled separately, often by hand. It was exhausting, error-prone, and left us with little time for strategy or creativity. We knew we needed a smarter way. That’s when we discovered Gumloop.
The Challenge: Manual Mayhem
Our old workflow looked like this:
Writers submitted drafts via email or Google Docs
Editors tracked revisions in spreadsheets
Social media posts were scheduled one by one
Newsletter content was copied and pasted into our email platform
Analytics were checked manually, days after publishing
It was slow, stressful, and impossible to scale. We wanted to publish more, but the process was holding us back.
Enter Gumloop: The Automation Game-Changer
Gumloop is an AI-powered automation platform built for branding and content teams. We realized we could use it to automate almost every step of our publishing process. Here’s how we set it up:
Content Collection: Gumloop watches a shared Google Drive folder for new drafts. When a file is added, it notifies our editors in Slack and creates a Trello card for tracking.
Editorial Workflow: As editors update the Trello card status, Gumloop sends reminders for pending reviews and moves approved drafts to a “Ready to Publish” folder.
Publishing & Distribution: Once a draft is approved, Gumloop automatically posts it to our CMS, schedules social media posts via Buffer, and drafts the newsletter in MailerLite.
Analytics & Reporting: After publishing, Gumloop pulls analytics from Google Analytics and social platforms, then sends a summary report to our team every Friday.
The Results: 80% Less Manual Work
Since implementing Gumloop, our weekly publishing has gone from chaos to clockwork. We:
Cut our manual admin time by 80%
Publish more consistently (and with fewer errors)
Have real-time visibility into every stage of the workflow
Can focus on writing and strategy, not busywork
Lessons Learned
Start small: We began by automating just one part of the process, then expanded as we got comfortable.
Document everything: Clear workflow docs made it easy for new team members to jump in.
Keep iterating: We tweak our Gumloop workflows every month as our needs evolve.
