Added
Connect your own AI: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI apps can now work on your Cadenzova account. Your AI reads your brand, products, calendar and results, then plans and writes posts with you. Nothing goes out until you approve it on your calendar, unless you choose Autopilot. You pick what each connection may do, which brands it sees and how many credits it may spend a day, and you can disconnect it at any time. Included on every plan. Find it under More → AI agents.

Changed
Pausing a subscription now lasts 1, 2 or 3 months and billing restarts on its own. Your plan keeps working until the end of the period you already paid for; after that you're on the free plan's limits until billing resumes. Resuming early after that point starts a new billing period that day.
Moving to a smaller plan now takes effect at your next renewal: you keep the plan you paid for until then, and can change your mind any time before. Upgrades are charged straight away and start at once.
Monthly plan credits arrive once the renewal payment goes through.
Fixed
Cancellations, renewals and failed-payment emails now always reach your account, and your subscription is re-checked against Stripe every hour.
Credit packs paid by bank debit are now added once the payment clears.
An abandoned checkout no longer blocks you from subscribing again for a day.
Added
Under your planned week, one tap adds another place to post (Instagram, TikTok, X, Bluesky, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn or Pinterest) — once it's connected, the week is re-planned to include it.
Signing up from the home page's "see your first week" box now goes straight to your week: Cadenzova sets up your brand from your website, loads your products (you see each step as it happens) and plans the week — no setup forms. Voice, logo and colours stay editable in Settings.
Team seats: invite teammates by email to plan and schedule with you — 3 seats on Growth, 10 on Pro. Teammates can do everything except change billing or the team.
Client approval link (Growth and Pro): send a client one link, no login needed. They see the next 14 days of posts and approve each one, or ask for changes — which takes that post off the schedule until you fix it. You're notified either way.
Drag a post to another day in the calendar's week or month view to move it.
Schedule a whole spreadsheet at once: upload a CSV with a date, time, platforms, caption and image link per row. Rows with a problem are listed before anything is scheduled.
Recycle your best posts (paid plans): posts you keep go out again every 30, 60 or 90 days in your free posting times.
Instagram first comment, image descriptions (alt text) for Bluesky and Pinterest, and saved hashtag sets in the composer.
A short "How is Cadenzova working for you?" question after your tenth delivered post.
11 November 2026
Added
Paste your website on the home page and see your first week of posts, made from your own products and photos, before you sign up. Works with Shopify, WooCommerce and most websites. Signing up from the preview carries your store straight into setup.
If a post fails or a channel needs reconnecting, you now get one email saying what happened and what to do, with a link straight to it.
A public status page at /status showing whether publishing, AI, platform connections and payments are working.
Each connected channel shows when it last posted and how many of the last 30 days' posts were delivered.
White-label client reports (your agency name, a no-login link and a monthly client email) and a CSV export of every post, on Growth and Pro.
A 14-day money-back guarantee on your first plan payment — request it from the Billing page.
Pro support messages are answered first.
Changed
Setup goes straight from reading your website to connecting your first channel when your products were found.
When Instagram temporarily limits an account's activity, Cadenzova now says so (it used to blame the image), holds that account's other Instagram posts and retries a few hours later.
Connections whose access expired over a day ago are now flagged for reconnecting instead of quietly showing as connected.
30 October 2026
Changed
Ask Strategist on X (extension 1.1.0): on a thread, it now reads the whole conversation above the post, marks your own replies, and when you're already in the conversation it drafts your next reply instead of judging the post cold. Replies to you on Notifications get the same treatment.
Ask Strategist learns your voice (extension 1.2.0): every draft is editable before Use, and what you actually post (including edits made in X's own reply box) is fed back. The next ask sees your recent rewrites and replies you used as-is, and every few edits they're distilled into standing voice rules. The popover shows how many of your last replies you still edited.
Ask Strategist also learns which option you pick (Recommended, Professional, Friendly…) and steers the recommended reply toward the style you reach for.
Fixed: Use on X could double the text, or leave it under the "Post your reply" placeholder where it couldn't be edited and Reply stayed disabled.
New brand setting under X settings: "Ask Strategist: always draft a reply" — reply options every time, with the honest verdict still shown. A skip without drafts now has a "Draft a reply anyway" button.
14 October 2026
Changed
Generation under heavy load: "Plan my week" now queues like every other generation instead of planning inside the request, so a burst of owners waits its turn rather than timing out or getting errors. Scheduled weekly plans are queued per brand instead of four at a time per cron tick.
While generation is busy, a waiting job shows a notice that it may take longer than usual and does not need resubmitting. Jobs held back by an account's own concurrency cap say so instead.
Video jobs that shell out to ffmpeg (Creative Studio re-export/reframe/segment re-roll, Quick Studio beat re-roll, auto video pins, post transcription) now run in the heavy lane, one render at a time per worker.
Shopify integration removed: the app was dropped, so there is no Shopify connection, product sync, webhooks or Shopify copy anywhere in the product. Existing WooCommerce and every other integration are unchanged.
Cadenzova Post: an unsent post (media, caption, platforms, schedule) now survives a refresh or reload.
Cadenzova Post: photos past the 10-slide carousel cap are no longer uploaded; library photos show a preview when no thumbnail is cached yet.
The free plan's 30 monthly posts now also cover weekly-plan approvals (including the one-click email link) and Data Feed auto posts, which previously published without counting.
TikTok posting no longer says posts are private-only; the content-posting audit is approved.
Fixed
Generation jobs no longer get dropped or run twice under load: a heavy video job waiting for its render slot no longer times out before it starts, a job the GitHub runner or a rescue re-dispatch already started is not run again, and jobs still waiting in the queue are not failed as stale.
Logo detection from a site's header image no longer fails with a NameError.
Deleting a Facebook/Instagram connection through Meta's data-deletion request now removes it (previously only matched some account ids).
Pins scheduled or rescheduled with a time that has no timezone are read as UTC, matching the composer.
Actions that fail with no message of their own (deleting a product or video, dismissing a pending pin, marking a post as posted) now show an error.
An AI reply that can't be read no longer re-runs the same weekly ad recommendation, growth plan or retro on every tick for the same brand.
Team sign-in explains when the browser blocks site storage instead of showing a raw browser error.
13 October 2026
Added
Six new free tools at /tools: Shopify product hook generator, brand voice analyzer, AI caption humanizer, 7-day content plan generator, social media character counter and social media image resizer.
Three new guides on the blog: why scheduled posts fail, making AI captions sound like you, and the best automation tools for Shopify stores.
New comparisons: Publer, Metricool, Tailwind, SocialBee, Blotato, Postiz, Hypefury, Typefully, FeedHive, Sendible and Lately. Every comparison now covers verified publishing, the learned writing style, Shopify and the free plan.
11 October 2026
Added
Learned writing style: connecting Instagram, Threads, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Bluesky or X now studies your existing posts — tone, point of view, hooks, signature phrases, vocabulary, emoji/hashtag/CTA habits, formatting, content pillars and what your best posts share — and the strategist writes every new caption to match. See (and re-analyse, or turn off) in Settings → Learned writing style. Facebook Pages and LinkedIn don't allow reading past posts yet.
Weekly plan schedule per brand: pick the day, time and timezone each brand's weekly plan should be ready by; Cadenzova starts building it an hour early and notifies you when it's ready. Brands without a schedule keep getting their plan with the Monday digest.
Improved
Verified publishing: "published" notifications now only fire once the post is confirmed live on the platform (Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky; X and LinkedIn report the platform's own confirmation). Posts still processing are re-checked automatically and you're told the real outcome.
Failure notifications now explain what went wrong and what to do (reconnect, shorten the caption, fix the media…), and temporary problems such as rate limits or platform outages retry automatically after 5, 20 and 60 minutes.
Upgraded to Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Claude Haiku 5.5 across planning, copywriting and analysis.
Steadier background rendering: browser-based renders are now memory-managed, fixing worker restarts that could stall scheduled posts.
17 September 2026
Added
Animated kinetic-text carousels/reels with a synthesized soundtrack, style presets (frame/pattern/motif), and colours derived from your brand — including a secondary brand colour. Includes per-slide regeneration. This is a paid creative feature.
Per-product "Refresh images" so an existing product can re-pull the latest photos from your connected store without recreating it.
Onboarding smart defaults: UK timezone, a sales-focused starting strategy, and Irish voice options where relevant.
Improved
Pinterest's pin creative engine is now on by default, giving genuinely varied pin visuals across multi-image products instead of repeating the same layout.
Fixed pin variety being lost when a brand's "only use product images" instruction was set — pins now still get real template variety.
Store image import (Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, WordPress) is more reliable: fixed duplicate imports, blurry/low-res images, and cases where zero images were imported.
Brand-share/clone now shows real progress instead of a blank dashboard, with better duplicate detection; shared brands are exempted from the 14-day media purge, and the purge clock restarts when a brand is copied.
General reliability improvements across generated visual posts (carousels, comparisons, stat animations, and text legibility).
Changed
Competitor research, niche research, Council Mode (the second-opinion AI critique on your weekly plan), and Editorial Polish now require a paid plan. These were previously available more broadly; free-plan accounts will see them presented as paid-plan features going forward.
Strategy products (PDF product builder driven by the strategist) is now available on any paid plan — previously limited to founder accounts.
2026-09-10 to 2026-09-16
Improved
Continued fixes to animated carousel rendering (overflow, mid-word breaks, count-up stats, comparison layout) and product-image handling across store imports, ahead of the September 17 release above.
Coming next
LinkedIn Company Page publishing — Auto-publish to a LinkedIn Company Page you administer, same as personal LinkedIn — connectable today for early testing, rolling out to everyone as LinkedIn's app review clears.
Pinterest Analytics import — Connect your Pinterest account analytics directly — impression trends, top pins, save rates and audience insights fed back into the strategist.
