Medium publishing as software
Codex runs postqueen commands, reads the JSON results and verifies each step, so your Medium pipeline behaves like any other task it automates in CI or cron.
MediumAutomate Medium with Codex
Point Codex at the postqueen CLI and it creates, schedules and verifies Medium stories as one repeatable task you can rerun any time.
Quick start
Set up the CLI inside the workspace Codex uses, then describe the Medium 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 Medium stories# from notes.md and schedule them# with postqueen"What Codex can run on Medium
Windows that fit Medium
Tell Codex when your readers are most active and it schedules stories into that window on Medium, day after day, without reminders.
Long-form arrives intact
Codex hands postqueen the full draft, formatting included, and it lands on your Medium publications as complete stories, 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 Medium until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Medium
Codex calls postqueen to list your connected publications and sees what Medium supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with Codex
Give it the brief. The agent writes Medium-shaped stories 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 Medium 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 Medium 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 Medium stories reliably.
Can Codex schedule Medium stories at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the stories it creates, so your readers see them at the right moment.
Will Codex publish to Medium on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the stories 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 Medium and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Codex can turn the same brief into Medium stories 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 draft Medium stories?
Yes. It can turn a rough outline into a full draft, tighten a long section, or rewrite the opening in a tone that fits Medium's editorial feel. You always read it over before the story goes on the calendar.
What analytics are available for Medium stories?
Medium's own stats pages show how each story performs with readers, including views and reads. postqueen keeps the operational side: publish history, queue status and the cross-channel calendar, so you always know what shipped where.
