# Marketing Agents > Set up a LinkedIn draft agent from your own material, review and approve drafts, and post them yourself or schedule them where available. Canonical: https://help.spacebrain.ai/marketing/ Last modified: 2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z Marketing Agents writes LinkedIn post drafts from your own business material, in the voice of a person or company page you approve. You review every draft before it goes anywhere. This guide is for founders, marketers, and agencies who want a steady flow of LinkedIn posts without handing over control. > **Note — Early access** > > Marketing is being released to selected workspaces. If you don't see **Marketing** in the sidebar, or you see **Marketing is not available for this workspace yet.**, it isn't enabled for you yet. If you see **You do not have access to Marketing in this workspace.**, ask your workspace owner for access. ## Before you begin [#before-you-begin] * **Access:** the account owner manages the Marketing subscription and credit budget. Other team members need Marketing access in the workspace. * **Your material:** documents, notes, or writing samples you own. The agent only uses sources you add and approve. * **Credits:** adding sources, editing, reviewing, and copying drafts are free. AI preparation uses your existing Spacebrain credits, within a budget the account owner sets. * **LinkedIn:** you don't need to connect LinkedIn to get drafts. To schedule posts from Spacebrain (where available), connect a LinkedIn profile or Page in **Social Media → Connections**. ## Where to find it [#where-to-find-it] Open **Marketing** in the sidebar: | Page | Use it to | | -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Marketing Agents** | Review drafts and manage agents. Tabs: **Drafts**, **Sources & setup**, **Activity**, **Credit budget**, **History**. | | **Creators** | Approve the voice of each person or company page (**Creator profiles**). | | **Strategy** | Define what you stand for and approve post angles (**Strategy and angle bank**). | | **Campaigns** | Turn an approved strategy into a reviewed plan. | | **Insights** | See how useful drafts are, editing effort, failures, and credit use. | At the top of **Marketing Agents**, a label shows **Publishing available** if you can schedule to LinkedIn from Spacebrain, or **Draft preparation** if you post manually for now. ## Set up your first agent [#set-up-your-first-agent] The **Sources & setup** tab walks you through setup. If you haven't started, select **Start guided activation** under **Activate your Marketing CMO**. Starting is free and doesn't run AI. Work through the checkpoints in order: 1. **Sources and company** – add your own material and approve it. Choose up to eight approved sources, then select **Save activation sources**. Review the company proposal and select your **Approved company truth**. 2. **Creator** – open **Marketing → Creators**, select **New creator**, and choose **Profile type** (**Personal profile** or **Company page**). Fill in **Name**, **Headline**, **Voice direction**, topics, and **Phrases to avoid**. Attach approved writing samples. Select **Save profile**, then **Approve revision**. 3. **Strategy** – open **Marketing → Strategy**, choose the **Approved creator**, and fill in the **LinkedIn strategy**: **Objective**, **Audience**, **Content pillars**, **Topics and claims to exclude**, and **CTA rules**. Select **Save strategy**, then **Approve strategy**. 4. **Authorization** – the account owner selects **Set up governed agent** to approve the agent, its inputs, and its budget. The agent starts paused. 5. **Optional first draft** – select **Prepare first draft**, or **Skip first draft**. 6. Select **Finish activation and enable cadence** to let the agent prepare drafts on its schedule. Any edit to a creator or strategy clears its approval. Approve the new revision before the agent uses it. ## Review drafts [#review-drafts] 1. Open **Marketing → Marketing Agents** and select the **Drafts** tab. 2. Read each draft and its **Sources**. Check facts, names, offers, and claims against your material. 3. Select **Edit draft** to change the wording. Tick **I checked these questions and corrected or removed unsupported claims.**, then **Save draft**. Editing creates a new version. 4. Select **Approve draft** when it's ready. You'll see **Draft version approved. Choose delivery in Draft Studio or copy it to LinkedIn.** 5. Select **Dismiss** for drafts you won't use. They move to **History**. To prepare more drafts now, open the agent under **Existing agents** and select **Prepare drafts now**. Use **Pause preparation** or **Resume within credit budget** to control it. ## Post your approved draft [#post-your-approved-draft] ### Option A: copy and post yourself [#option-a-copy-and-post-yourself] Select **Copy approved text**, then paste it into LinkedIn and publish. You'll see **Text copied. Paste it into LinkedIn and publish it yourself. Nothing was published here.** Spacebrain can't confirm manual posts, so check LinkedIn yourself. ### Option B: schedule from Draft Studio (where available) [#option-b-schedule-from-draft-studio-where-available] 1. Select **Open Draft Studio** on the draft. 2. Under **LinkedIn destination**, choose a **LinkedIn profile or Page** and select **Save destination**. Changing the destination needs a new review. 3. Approve the current version. 4. Under **Delivery**, set **Publish date and time**. The helper text shows **Your timezone**. 5. Select **Schedule approved draft**. You'll see **Draft scheduled.** 6. After it publishes, select **View LinkedIn post** to check it. Use **Reschedule** or **Cancel schedule** to change plans. If delivery fails, read the reason and select **Retry delivery**. If you see **LinkedIn publishing is paused while access is being verified.**, use Option A for now. ## Improve a draft in Draft Studio [#improve-a-draft-in-draft-studio] * **AI refinement:** pick a suggestion (for example, make the opening more specific or shorten it) or write a **Custom instruction**. Select **Suggest alternatives**. The button shows the maximum credits. Select **Apply as new version** on the one you like. * **Version history:** select **Restore** to bring back an earlier version as a new version. Nothing is ever deleted. * **Draft feedback:** pick a **Signal** such as **Strong draft**, **Off voice**, or **Unsupported claim** and select **Save feedback**. Feedback feeds **Insights**. It doesn't retrain the AI. ## Plan a campaign [#plan-a-campaign] 1. Open **Marketing → Campaigns** and select **New campaign**. 2. Choose an approved creator, strategy, angle, and source. 3. Review the plan, then prepare drafts from it. Planning never publishes anything. ## Worked example [#worked-example] Priya runs a consulting firm. She uploads three client case studies and her last ten LinkedIn posts as sources. She creates a **Personal profile** creator for herself with the voice "direct, practical, no buzzwords" and a strategy aimed at operations managers. After activation, the agent prepares three drafts a week. She edits one to add a client quote, approves it, and schedules it from Draft Studio for Tuesday morning. She dismisses a draft that repeated an old point and marks it **Too generic** so Insights shows the trend. ## If something goes wrong [#if-something-goes-wrong] | What you see | What to do | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | No new drafts appear | An agent pauses when it has three unfinished drafts. Approve or **Dismiss** some. Copying alone doesn't clear them. | | **An active Marketing Agents pilot or subscription is required for AI preparation.** | Ask the account owner to check **Credit budget**. Your existing sources and drafts stay available. | | **The platform has paused new AI preparation.** | Existing drafts remain available. Try again later. | | **This draft changed. Reload the draft before scheduling or retrying delivery.** | Someone edited it. Reload, review the new version, and approve it again. | | **Choose a future date and time.** | Pick a time later than now. | | A delivery might have gone through | Check LinkedIn first. Only tick **I checked LinkedIn and this post was not published.** and select **Retry delivery** if the post is really missing. | | **Only LinkedIn accounts connected to this workspace can be selected.** | Select **Manage connections** and connect the profile or Page in Social Media. | ## FAQ [#faq] ### Does Marketing Agents post without me? [#does-marketing-agents-post-without-me] No. Every draft needs your approval. Scheduling is a separate step you choose in Draft Studio. ### What does **Copied for manual posting** in Insights mean? [#what-does-copied-for-manual-posting-in-insights-mean] It counts drafts you copied. Spacebrain can't see whether you actually posted them, so they show as **Not verified as published**. ### Can I use it for other networks? [#can-i-use-it-for-other-networks] Marketing Agents is for LinkedIn. For other networks, use [Social Media](/social-media/publishing/). ## Next step [#next-step] Keep your source material up to date in [Knowledge Hub](/platform/knowledge-hub/), or schedule posts on other networks with [Social Media Publisher](/social-media/publishing/).
