Manually Adding Articles

Manual article addition in BeatSquares happens directly within your content creation workflow. When building a WhatsApp message, podcast or newsletter and selecting articles for segments, you’ll find the “Add article” option that lets you bring in external content that isn’t already in your library. The process is straightforward: paste your article content into a form along with key metadata—title, author, source URL, publication date, and any associated images. This information helps BeatSquares properly attribute the content and gives the AI context when transforming it into podcasts or newsletters. Once saved, the article immediately becomes available in your library, ready to be selected and included in any segment across your squares. This feature bridges the gap between your existing content and BeatSquares’ creation tools. Whether you’re importing your own blog posts, adding third-party articles, or preserving important reference materials, manual addition ensures you can work with any written content, regardless of its original source.
