How Art Marketing Autopilot Works

An overview of ArtHelper's Art Marketing Autopilot feature — how it works, what it generates, how to set it up, and how to troubleshoot missing posts.

Written by Shelby

Art Marketing Autopilot is an optional add-on that creates and schedules social media posts for you, automatically. Once it's set up, posts appear in your content calendar — you can leave them on autopilot or review and edit each one before it goes out.

What Autopilot does

  • Generates up to 50 posts per month — 25 for Instagram and 25 for Facebook.

  • Drops the posts into your Calendar, where you can review, edit, reschedule, or publish them.

  • Rotates through your uploaded artwork so every piece gets featured over time.

  • Works hands-free if you don't want to touch anything — posts go out on schedule.

  • Requires uploaded artwork to generate from. Your account needs at least one image in My Artwork before Autopilot can produce posts.

💡 Note: Autopilot is a paid add-on and isn't included in standard ArtHelper plans. After you subscribe, allow 24–48 hours for the first batch of posts to appear.

How to get started

  1. Go to Art Marketing Autopilot and click one of the subscribe buttons. Checkout is handled by Stripe in a secure page.

  2. Once payment goes through, Upload your artwork if you haven't already — Autopilot uses these images to build social posts.

  3. Open your Profile page and fill in your bio, artist statement, and social links. Autopilot uses this context when writing captions.

  4. Connect your Instagram and Facebook accounts from the Integrations page so Autopilot can publish on your behalf.

  5. Check back in 24–48 hours. New Autopilot posts will appear in your Calendar.

Managing your Autopilot subscription

To update your payment method, change billing details, or cancel:

  1. Go to Billing.

  2. Find the Art Marketing Autopilot card.

  3. Click Billing portal. The Stripe-hosted portal opens in a new tab.

Troubleshooting missing posts

If you've subscribed but don't see posts in your Calendar after 48 hours, run through this checklist:

  1. Open Billing and confirm the Art Marketing Autopilot card is showing as active.

  2. Open My Artwork and confirm you've uploaded at least one image. Autopilot can't generate posts from an empty gallery.

  3. Open Integrations and confirm Instagram and Facebook are connected. If they're not, Autopilot still drafts the posts, but they can't publish.

  4. If all three look right and posts still aren't appearing, contact ArtHelper support and we'll investigate.

Common questions

Why is Autopilot a separate paid add-on?

Autopilot was introduced after the original ArtHelper plans launched. Making it an optional add-on means you only pay for it if it fits your workflow, without raising the price of the plans you already have.

Can I edit a post before Autopilot publishes it?

Yes. Open Calendar, click the post, and edit the caption, image, or schedule. The change is saved automatically.

Can I turn Autopilot off temporarily?

You can cancel anytime from the Billing portal. Posts that have already been scheduled will still publish unless you delete them from Calendar.
