Documentation for publishing without the daily scramble
Use this section to create or import articles, Notes, and social posts, collaborate with your team, publish across supported platforms, and turn granular performance evidence into the next growth decision.
Start in one place
Follow the getting started guide to create or import your first piece, invite collaborators, and build the publishing workflow you need.
Pick a workflow
Jump straight to writing, scheduling, standalone short-form publishing, adaptation, cross-posting, or analytics.
Go deeper later
Use the analytics guides to see what is working by content, topic, format, channel, and timing, then double down deliberately.
Start here
These are the three pages most new users need first. Read them in order if you want the lowest-friction path through the product.
Getting started
Outcome
Start an article, Note, or social post from scratch—or import existing work—then prepare it for the audience you want to reach.
Process
Set up the workspace, write in the collaborative editor, add the people who need to review, and connect the destinations you plan to publish to.
Integrations
Outcome
See where original articles, Notes, social posts, and platform-specific adaptations can be published from Narrareach.
Process
Connect the destinations your audience uses, then choose the right account, format, and audience timezone for each item.
Mobile app help
Outcome
Install the TestFlight beta, use iPhone or iPad, refresh Substack in Safari, and recover from common mobile errors.
Process
Start with the device checklist, then follow the illustrated Session Bridge and connection-verification path.
MCP connector
Outcome
Let Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP client read your queue, schedule Notes, and inspect analytics.
Process
Connect through OAuth, then use Narrareach from your AI assistant instead of opening the app for every action.
Core workflows
Use these guides when you know the outcome you want and need the fastest path to it.
Schedule Substack Notes
Outcome
Publish consistently without needing to be at your desk when your readers are active.
Process
Write now, queue the Note, review the calendar, and let Narrareach handle the normal publishing path.
Cross-post one idea across channels
Outcome
Turn one Substack idea into native posts for LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Threads, or Medium.
Process
Start from the source Note, adapt the voice per platform, then stagger or align the schedule from one workflow.
Repurpose an article when it serves the idea
Outcome
Use an existing article as the starting point when extending that idea into several publishable Notes is the right move.
Process
This optional article-to-Notes workflow extracts useful angles, keeps the drafts that match your voice, and lets you batch-schedule the strongest ones.
Batch-schedule from CSV and Drive images
Outcome
Plan a week of content in a spreadsheet and move it into the queue with less manual busywork.
Process
Import the CSV, assign per-row times and platforms, then attach Google Drive images during bulk scheduling.
Reuse Instagram images and carousels on LinkedIn and TikTok
Reuse an Instagram image or carousel you generated in Narrareach without generating it again. This uses your saved Narrareach visual; it does not import posts from Instagram. Connect the destination accounts in Settings first. Your plan and each platform’s publishing requirements still apply.
- In Notes, open the dropdown beside Generate notes and choose the Instagram image or carousel format you used.
- Under Reuse a recent visual, choose your completed visual.
- In Schedule, select Add platforms and choose LinkedIn or TikTok. Remove Instagram if you have already posted there and do not want another post.
- Check the images, caption, destination, date, and timezone. For TikTok, review the photos and caption and confirm your approval before scheduling.
- Choose Open in editor to keep editing, Save draft to finish later, or Schedule to queue the posts. After scheduling, check Notes → Scheduled.
LinkedIn PDF carousels remain LinkedIn-only. Instagram image carousels are reused as images, not PDFs. If bulk or calendar scheduling asks for TikTok review, open the draft in the editor and approve the photos and final caption there before publishing, scheduling, or adding it to your queue. Reusing a visual does not change a post you have already published.

Product areas
These pages explain how the main parts of the platform fit together once your first workflow is running.
Analytics and subscriber attribution
Outcome
See in granular detail which articles, Notes, topics, formats, channels, and publishing times are contributing to growth.
Process
Review direct outcomes and clearly labeled patterns, then repeat a winner, test a promising signal, or change what is not working.
Welcome and follow-up DM sequences
Outcome
Welcome every new subscriber with a personal Substack DM, give paid readers their own welcome, and follow up with readers who like or comment on your Notes.
Process
Pick a template in the Activity Center, set the delay and audience, and personalize with {name} or {publication}. Sequences stop when a reader replies and are built to follow Substack's Terms of Use, our highest priority.
Templates, personas, and reuse
Outcome
Preserve useful structures and voice patterns without making existing work a prerequisite for a new draft.
Process
Start from a blank page when the idea is new, or use a proven template when performance evidence supports repeating the format.
AI and automation
Move from manual execution to assisted or semi-automated publishing once the basics are stable.
Use AI assistants through MCP
Outcome
Manage the queue, schedule Notes, and inspect performance without switching back into the Narrareach UI.
Process
Connect your AI client once, then hand off repetitive scheduling and queue-management tasks through the connector.
Reach AI
Outcome
Create an original article, Note, or social post, explore a new angle, or make a platform-specific adaptation faster.
Process
Give Reach AI a goal, idea, or performance pattern, review the draft in the collaborative editor, and publish only work that meets your bar.
Setup guide
Getting started shows the complete setup path.
The guide covers workspace setup, creating or importing work, team review, audience-timezone scheduling, connected destinations, and the analytics loop for seeing what works and deciding what to publish next.
Narrareach LLM connector
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible agent to read drafts, schedule posts, and automate Substack, Medium, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, and Threads workflows.
