Agent Teams

Paperclip manages teams of AI agents that work together. Assign a content agent, a scheduling agent, and a review agent to your social media workflow.

📊

Single Dashboard

Monitor all your AI agents and their social media tasks from one unified dashboard. Track posts, schedules, and performance in real time.

⚙

Orchestration

Schedule recurring tasks with cron jobs. Paperclip can send your Listmonk campaigns on a schedule without you having to ask each time.

Also Works with Claude Code

Postiz Agent works as a CLI tool with any AI agent that can execute shell commands — including Anthropic's Claude Code.

Claude Code

by Anthropic

Claude reads the SKILL.md file to learn all available Postiz commands, then autonomously discovers your Listmonk integration, composes your email campaign with subject, preview text, and list targeting, and sends it on schedule.

Claude Code

> Send a newsletter to list-1 about our
  new feature launch, schedule for Monday

Claude will automatically run:
  postiz integrations:list
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "<h1>New Feature Launch</h1>..." \
    -s "2025-03-03T09:00:00Z" \
    --settings '{"subject":
      "Exciting New Feature",
      "preview":"Check out what we built",
      "list":"list-1",
      "template":"newsletter-tmpl"}' \
    -i "listmonk-id"

Listmonk + Other Platforms

Send an email campaign and post to social media simultaneously. Each platform gets its own settings.

Terminal

# Send email and post to social media simultaneously
postiz posts:create \
  -c "We just launched our new feature! Check it out." \
  -s "2025-03-01T09:00:00Z" \
  --settings '{"subject":"New Feature Launch","preview":"Something big is here","list":"list-1"}' \
  -i "listmonk-id,twitter-id,linkedin-id"

# Batch schedule a month of newsletters
for week in 1 2 3 4; do
  postiz posts:create \
    -c "Week $week newsletter content..." \
