Putting Cablecast on Autopilot: Automating Ingest, Scheduling, and Cleanup
In this practical support and training webinar, we’ll walk through how to dramatically reduce day-to-day scheduling workload in Cablecast by building a fully automated workflow—from content submission to playback. Learn how to use Producer Uploads to securely collect programming directly from churches, government agencies, and recurring producers, while capturing clean metadata and enforcing content policies. We’ll cover when to use auto-approval, how to configure branding and agreements, and how to ensure files are ready for air with minimal staff intervention. From there, we’ll demonstrate how to combine Saved Searches and Auto Schedule rules to automatically play the latest episode in a recurring timeslot—perfect for weekly services, meetings, and series programming. Finally, we’ll show how to use Smart Asset Management (SAM) workflows to clean up old files you no longer need, and how to configure automatic Autopilot sends so your schedule commits reliably every night. By the end of this session, you’ll have a blueprint for putting routine channel operations on autopilot—freeing your staff to focus more time on community engagement, training, and content creation.

Saved Searches In Cablecast — From Simple Filters To Powerful Automation
Matt Greenberg from Cablecast Support walks through saved searches in a 30-minute webinar, covering how to use them to automate four key functions: Autoscheduling content to broadcast channels, filling programming gaps, populating Internet Channel Galleries, and managing OTT app content. The session covers metadata basics — including Show Records with event dates, projects, and categories — then demonstrates building saved searches by project and title filters. From there, Greenberg shows how to apply those searches in Autoschedule Rules, set up PSA filler using the Fill Gaps tool, configure Autopilot sends, and use saved searches in Internet Channels for galleries and pre-roll content. The webinar wraps up with a look at managing custom collections for branded apps through Cablecast Cloud Services. The takeaway: thorough metadata makes every platform feature work better.
