Troubleshooting

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.
