Accessing the Brainstorm Ideas tool

There are a few ways that you can access the Brainstorm Ideas tool. Most obvious is the Brainstorm Ideas icon on the homepage.

You can also access it by selecting Create New from the side menu, followed by Brainstorm Ideas.

Fill out the Brainstorm Ideas wizard

Tell Blaze what you want to brainstorm about, the type of the content you want to generate, name your document, and select the project you would like the document created in.

Finally, choose how many ideas you want Blaze to generate, then click Generate.

Review and build on

You will be taken to your newly-created document complete with all of the ideas Blaze generated for you. You can highlight your favorite idea(s) and simply ask Blaze to generate social media post or blog posts using the highlighted idea(s).

Below - a simple prompt asking Blaze to generate 4 Instagram posts.

Add generated posts into the document

Blaze will generate the requested content in a pop-up card. Review the content, and if needed, click the Try Again button to have Blaze regenerate it.

Once you're satisfied, select one of two ways to move the generated content from the pop-up card directly into your document.

  • Add Below - Inserts generated content underneath highlighted text.

  • Replace Selection - Replaces highlighted text with generated content.

Use Cross Post to generate and schedule your content

Next you can use the Cross Post tool to start scheduling your content. To begin, highlight your newly generated content and click Cross Post.

Give your post a name, select the project you would like it created in, and what kind of post you want to generate. Then click Create Post.

Blaze will generate the post and provide a flag at the bottom of the screen to jump directly to the post.

Select an image, make adjustments, and schedule post

The post that Blaze generates will only include text. By clicking Add Media or Add Images or Videos you can add an image to your post.

Once you have added your image, you can schedule your post using the

Choose How to Post button.

Integrations are required to schedule posts - click here for a list of supported integrations and how to set them up.
