How Do Statuses Work?

Statuses help organize and categorize your campaigns and content. Each status corresponds to a specific content creation stage. For instance, you could have statuses like “Keyword Research,” “Writing Post,” “Editing,” and “Published.” Adjust the status as content progresses.

Assigning Users to Specific Statuses

Tejik enables you to assign team members to each status, promoting accountability across content creation stages.

Effective Use of Statuses

• Use descriptive status names.
• Encourage consistent status usage within your team.
• Periodically review and align statuses with your workflow.

Setting Up Workflow Using Statuses

Map out your content creation workflow using statuses to visualize your progress. For example, start with “Outline,” move to “Write,” “Edit Media,” and conclude with “Published.” This structured approach prevents content gaps.
