Curated Draft Issue Automation & Mobile Approval
Run Curated on autopilot. Keep the veto.
6 actions
Curated workflows create draft issues and collect links for publication; Rills queues those actions for approval before they run.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential marketing action from Curated arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

Send 3 draft issues to your list?

'Premium' segment (1,240 recipients)
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Clear runs stop waiting on you.
Every run is scored against your review step. The ones that clearly match your judgment run above your threshold without a tap; the borderline ones still come to the queue. Autonomy is earned run by run, never switched on for good.
About Curated automation
A draft issue goes out with a link that 404s. A collected-link roundup sends to your subscribers before the latest contributor has confirmed their spot. The small mistakes that slip through when Curated runs on autopilot are the ones that erode trust.
When Curated runs unsupervised
Drafts, subscriber lists, and collected links are all live ammunition. One wrong click and the newsletter ships before you've had a chance to catch the error. Curated doesn't have its own guardrails, so every publishing action is a bet you're making blind.
- Create Draft Issue fires an issue whose subject line contains a typo that would have taken you two seconds to catch.
- A Collected Link gets added to the roundup without checking whether the original author is comfortable being featured, and the next morning you're fielding an angry DM.
- List Email Subscribers is re-sorted based on engagement, but the wrong segment receives a premium issue meant for paying members.
- List Publications pulls in an old issue template that includes a stale promo code, and the first reply is a customer asking why it doesn't work.
What Rills does inside Curated
Rills watches your Curated workspace for new draft issues, collected links, and subscriber list changes. Instead of publishing immediately, it proposes the next step: publish, hold, or revise. You review each proposal from your phone and swipe to approve the ones that look right.
Drafts queue up, but nothing ships until you've had a look.
Why Curated has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Curated doesn't fire events when a draft is saved or a link is added, so standard communication automation tools can't react to changes inside your account. Rills fills that gap by polling your workspace at regular intervals, bringing the same supervised approval layer to a platform that was never designed for it.
- Create Draft Issue: Rills detects new drafts and proposes a publish action only after you've reviewed the content for broken links, typos, and tone.
- List Email Subscribers: changes in subscriber segments are spotted and a proposed send is held until you confirm the right audience.
- Create Collected Link: new links are surfaced in the approval queue so you can verify the source and context before they appear in a roundup.

Common questions about Curated automation
How do I automate Curated issue creation without accidentally sending a draft?
You build a workflow that creates a draft issue whenever a new post is ready in your CMS. Rills proposes the draft, you review and approve it from your phone before it ever ships. The stakes are high: a half-finished subject line you didn't proofread lands in every subscriber's inbox. This way you keep the final say.
Can I review and approve Curated draft issues from my phone?
Yes. Rills sends proposed draft issues to a mobile approval queue. You read the title, preview the content, and swipe to approve or cancel, from anywhere. No more logging into Curated at 11pm to fix a typo you wish you'd caught before it went out.
How do I automatically create a Curated Collected Link from a form submission?
You can set Rills to create a Collected Link in Curated every time a new submission lands in your form tool. Rills will propose the link for your approval. You check it on your phone before it goes live, so a spam link or a broken URL never makes it into your curated list.
How can I see my Curated email subscribers before sending an issue?
You can have Rills pull your subscriber list and let you review it before a critical send. If you spot a segment that shouldn't receive the issue, you stop the ship. It's about catching that one wrong tag that would have sent Churn emails to your best customers.
How do I prevent Curated from publishing a duplicate issue that already exists?
Rills can list your existing issues and compare a proposed title against them before creating a draft. No duplicate
How is Rills different from Zapier for Curated newsletter automation?
Zapier runs actions immediately with no human check. One misconfigured step and a draft issue fires with placeholder text or wrong links. Rills inserts a mandatory approval step before Curated. You decide what ships, from your phone. That's the difference: a veto before the mistake, not a ticket after.
Does Rills support scheduling Curated draft creation at a specific time?
Yes, you can schedule workflows to run on a set interval. Rills will propose a draft issue at the time you choose, but nothing gets sent until you approve it. You wake up to a notification, review the draft, and swipe to approve. No need to babysit a dashboard.
How much does Rills cost for Curated automation?
Approvals and all workflow logic are free. You only pay when Rills performs real actions, like creating a draft issue or pulling subscriber lists via API calls. There's no per-approval fee, no seat tax. You keep the veto without a bill for every decision.
