A Week of Branded Posts From Your Content Sheet
For the content calendar that's always a week behind. DuckyHelper reads the sheet, builds each graphic from your Canva brand template, writes the caption, and lines the posts up. Each post waits for your yes before it goes live.

A run, drawn from this page · early access on Mac
It's built to wait for your OK.
It does the work, then stops with the posts ready for you. You see exactly what it wrote, then Send, Edit or Deny.
If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.
InstagramPostsNeeds your OKDo it once. Then let it repeat.
When it's done, it offers to keep doing it: every Monday at 9:00 AM. Each run goes through the API it learned the first time, so it's quick, and it's still built to ask before it sends or pays.
Always-on automations are in early access on Mac.
Before you ask it.
What do I say?
Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Make this week's posts from my content sheet with my Canva template and queue them on Instagram and Facebook."
Why is the second time faster?
The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Google Sheets, Canva, Instagram and Facebook and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.
Will it send anything without me?
It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.
Why not just do it by hand?
Every post means a graphic, a caption and an upload in two places, and the sheet never matches what went out.
Can it keep doing this on its own?
Yes. When it's done it offers to make it automatic (every Monday at 9:00 AM). Each run goes the same way and is still built to ask before it sends or pays.
