Automation you can’t observe is automation you can’t trust. AI Content Writer surfaces what every campaign is doing at three levels.
The Dashboard
AI Content Writer → Dashboard shows your content statistics at a glance — posts generated over time on an interactive chart, plus plugin shortcuts and feature overviews.
Campaign health at a glance
The Campaigns list includes two live columns:
- Progress — a bar showing published posts against the campaign target, plus how many posts are currently in progress.
- Activity — when the campaign last ran, when it will run next, and a View logs link that jumps straight to that campaign’s log entries.
On a campaign’s edit screen, every in-flight post shows its own progress bar (title → content → image), and completed posts are listed in the sidebar.
The activity log
AI Content Writer → Logs records every meaningful event with a timestamp and severity:
- Success — titles created, content generated, thumbnails attached, posts published.
- Info — pipeline notices such as drip-scheduling times (Pro).
- Warning — posts held by the SEO score gate (Pro), deleted unusable temp posts.
- Error — API failures with the provider’s exact error message, image download failures, campaign problems.
When a campaign misbehaves, this is the first place to look — the provider’s real error message (invalid key, quota exhausted, model unavailable) is logged verbatim.
Filtering by campaign
Click View logs on any campaign row (or add &campaign_id=123 to the Logs URL) to see only that campaign’s entries — invaluable when several campaigns run side by side.
Log retention
Logs are cleaned up automatically. Set the retention period under Settings → General → Log Retention — from 1 day to a year, or Keep Forever. A daily background task deletes anything older.
