Ask for a draft
Ask for a saved draft first. Review the text and selected accounts in Influence before approving publication.

From draft to published post
Draft saved
Saved drafts stay editable until you choose to publish or schedule them.
Post reviewed
Review the accounts, text, media, settings and time. If any of these change, review the new version before approving.
Schedule saved
The approved post is waiting for its publishing time. Upcoming shows the saved schedule.
Publication checked
Activity shows the result for each account. If a result is unclear, check the existing post before sending again to avoid a duplicate.
Draft from context
Prepare a post from release notes or product changes and keep it editable.
Connected destinations
Choose accounts connected to the workspace and verify their current eligibility before action.
Images and videos, in order
Choose ready images and videos from Influence Media and arrange them in the order the destination supports. Review every attachment in a supported visual review or while signed in to Influence. Videos always require signed-in review. Complete TikTok Direct privacy and consent choices in the Influence editor.
Exact confirmation
Review text, image, accounts, settings, and resolved time together before a send.
Schedule or publish
After you approve the post, Influence saves it for delivery at the chosen time.
Delivery status
Check each account’s delivery status and its verified published link, when available.
What is Cursor?
Cursor is an AI code editor. It can use project context to draft an announcement. Influence handles the connected accounts, post review and publishing.
Editor context
Keep the changes and the announcement close enough to check that the message is accurate.
Assistant workflows
Cursor can help write the draft. The permissions granted to its Influence connection determine which publishing actions it can request.
Review before publishing
A draft is editable; a publish or schedule request needs an exact review and confirmation.
Is Cursor the same as an always-on agent?
Cursor is an editor you use for code and prompts. An always-on agent can run separately. Either setup needs a current review and your approval to publish through Influence.
| Cursor | Influence | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary setting | An editor workflow with your project | A workspace for drafts and publishing |
| When work continues | While the editor workflow runs | Scheduled posts publish at the time you approved |
| Publication | Prepare a post and request its review | Send the approved post and track each account’s result |
How do I prepare a post from the Cursor Agent panel?
Give Cursor the release details and intended readers. Ask it to save a draft, review the post in Influence, then approve publishing or scheduling.
From the Agent panel
Use project context to prepare the announcement and ask to see the draft before action.
Parallel work
You can edit the announcement while development continues. The post needs its own review and approval before it publishes.
Why Influence
Influence stores the draft, connected accounts, approved schedule and delivery results.
Summarize the new feature for a short launch post. Prepare a draft for my selected accounts and show me what would be sent.
Can a Cursor workflow schedule a post?
Yes. After approval, Influence saves the schedule and handles delivery, even after you close Cursor. You can check the post’s status in Influence.
Plan the time
Specify the date, clock time and time zone, then check them in the review.
Reschedule or edit
Before delivery starts, a post with no unresolved send can be rescheduled or returned to draft. Changes need another review.
Keep access scoped
Workspace membership, account ownership, and the connection's scopes govern every action.
What can I ask Cursor to prepare?
Cursor can use release notes and project files for these requests. Publishing still needs an authorized connection and your approval after review.
Post across accounts
Draft one release update for the connected accounts I select and show the review.
Turn notes into a post
Summarize the change log in a concise announcement without adding unsupported claims.
Check destination details
Show which accounts are selected and whether each is eligible for this post.
