Schedule
Marketing Designer runs on demand. It does not post on a schedule or watch for new content automatically. Every generation starts with a request from you, whether in Slack or in the Marketing Workspace, or from a handoff instruction sent by another agent.
What Triggers a Generation
| Trigger | Who sends it | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Direct request | You, in the design channel | Agent refines the brief and generates the image |
| Workspace form | You, starting a generation in the Marketing Workspace | Agent refines the brief and generates; the result lands in your feed |
| Featured image template | You, picking a template for a post in the workspace | Agent builds the artwork from the template, your brand logo, and colors |
| Content channel tag | You, tagging the agent in the content channel with a post ID | Agent picks up the post's image prompt, refines it, and generates |
| Design question | You, in the design channel | Agent responds conversationally; no image is generated |
How Long It Takes
Brief refinement and generation together typically complete within a few minutes. The agent posts a result as soon as it is ready; you do not need to wait in the channel.
If the image generation service is not reachable when you make a request, the agent saves the refined prompt immediately and notifies you. You can use that prompt in any image tool and attach the result when you have it.
Availability
The agent responds to requests continuously through the day. Requests made outside business hours are processed as normal; the result appears in Slack and in your workspace feed whenever it is ready.
If you have several images to generate in one session, send each request as a separate message. The agent handles them in order and posts each result as it completes.
