Workflow Generates 0 Posts
The most common issue — diagnosis and fix.
You clicked Run workflow (or waited for the daily run) and nothing appeared in your Pipeline. Here's how to diagnose it.
The 5-minute checklist
Walk through these in order:
1. Is automation actually enabled?
Go to Settings → Schedule → Workflow Automation. Check that at least one toggle is on:
- Daily content generation
- News-reactive posts
- Auto-redistribute blog posts
If all three are off, the workflow runs but does nothing.
2. Is your Anthropic API key valid?
Settings → Workspace → API Keys. The key should show with a green checkmark. If not, paste it again and save.
If you don't have a key, get one at console.anthropic.com.
3. Do you have channels connected?
Settings → Channels. You need at least one connected channel for the workflow to have somewhere to send content.
If the channel list is empty, click + Connect account and authorize on the platform.
4. (Daily generation only) Do you have calendar slots for today?
Settings → Schedule → Weekly Posting Schedule. Look at today's column. If today has no slots, daily generation has nothing to produce.
Add a slot for today by clicking the + in today's column.
5. (Daily generation only) Do you have topics?
Topics are the source material for daily generation. If your topic lists are empty, generation has nothing to write about.
Settings → Brand & Voice → Topics → add at least a few entries to the Primary list.
Click Run workflow and watch
After fixing the above, click Run workflow on the Command Center. You should see a toast like "Generated 3 drafts" within a few seconds (or "No content generated" if nothing was produced).
Special cases
News-reactive specific issues
If news-reactive is enabled but you're getting 0 reactive posts:
- Check your relevance keywords: Settings → News → Relevance Keywords. If empty, no articles will match.
- Check your reactive feeds: Settings → News → RSS Feeds. Make sure at least one feed is type Reactive.
- Click Refresh on the News tab to fetch the latest articles before the workflow runs.
Auto-redistribute specific issues
If auto-redistribute is enabled but you're getting 0 redistribute posts:
- Check your redistribute feeds: Settings → News → RSS Feeds. Make sure at least one feed is type Redistribute.
- Posts must be from the last 7 days: auto-redistribute only considers recent posts. Older posts have to be manually redistributed via the My Content tab or the Backfill wizard.
- Check that posts haven't already been processed: News → My Content → check the Pending filter. If your blog hasn't published anything new since the last successful run, there's nothing to do.
Generation limit reached
Some plans cap monthly generations. Check Settings → Workspace → Billing for your plan's limit, or contact support@borker.xyz if you're hitting it unexpectedly.
Still 0 posts after all that?
Open the browser console (F12 → Console) and click Run workflow. Any errors will show up there. Email the error to support@borker.xyz with the URL you saw it on.
90% of "0 posts" cases are one of: automation toggled off, no channels connected, no calendar slots for today. Verify those three before anything else.
