Dev.to publishing as software
Codex runs postqueen commands, reads the JSON results and verifies each step, so your Dev.to pipeline behaves like any other task it automates in CI or cron.
Dev.toAutomate Dev.to with Codex
Point Codex at the postqueen CLI and it creates, schedules and verifies Dev.to articles as one repeatable task you can rerun any time.
Quick start
Set up the CLI inside the workspace Codex uses, then describe the Dev.to outcome you want in the task prompt.
Codex session
# Inside a Codex sessionnpm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # Then prompt:# "Create this week's Dev.to articles# from notes.md and schedule them# with postqueen"What Codex can run on Dev.to
Windows that fit Dev.to
Tell Codex when your readers are most active and it schedules articles into that window on Dev.to, day after day, without reminders.
Long-form arrives intact
Codex hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Dev.to profiles as complete articles, ready for readers.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask Codex for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your readers on Dev.to until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Dev.to
Codex calls postqueen to list your connected profiles and sees what Dev.to supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Codex
Give it the brief. The agent writes Dev.to-shaped articles and proposes publish times that match when your readers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Codex can pull the results after.
What Dev.to allows
Codex reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does Codex connect Dev.to to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where Codex runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Dev.to articles reliably.
Can Codex schedule Dev.to articles at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the articles it creates, so your readers see them at the right moment.
Will Codex publish to Dev.to on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the articles wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Dev.to and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Codex can turn the same brief into Dev.to articles plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does Codex access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
Can the AI assistant write my Dev.to articles?
Yes. It can outline a tutorial, draft the intro, or write a full first pass in a tone that fits a developer audience, and it respects your code samples. Nothing publishes until you have read the draft and put it on the calendar.
What analytics do I get for Dev.to articles?
Dev.to shows views, reactions and comments per article on its own dashboard. postqueen keeps the cross-channel picture: what went out, when, and what is queued next, so you can line article publishing up with the rest of your calendar.
