Featured Brings Always-On PR Automation to Its Free Plan
Featured, the AI co-pilot for PR, today announced that Featured Workflows are now available on every plan, including Free. Featured Workflows are always-on PR automations that monitor journalist requests, HARO queries, podcasts, bylined article opportunities, speaking events, awards, media mentions, competitor coverage, and AI visibility on a schedule the user sets, then deliver matched results by email or Slack. Featured launched Workflows on paid plans on July 14, 2026.
Since Workflows went live on June 16, 2026, users have created 467 workflows. Those workflows have completed 26,239 runs and surfaced 93,012 matched opportunities, and 93% of runs found at least one match, according to Featured's Workflows Usage Report.
Users can set up a workflow by going to featured.com/workflows, selecting a workflow, and filling in three fields: what to look for, when to receive it, and where to send them.
Users can also create a workflow by typing a single sentence into Featured Chat, such as,
“Send me HARO requests about small business finance every morning in Slack.”
Workflows are configured in plain language rather than search syntax, with scheduling options that include hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom cadence. Results can be delivered by email or to a connected Slack channel. Once saved, the workflow runs automatically on its configured cadence and sends matched results to the user.
What Featured Workflows monitor (12 workflow types):- Journalist Requests: Source requests from HARO, Connectively, Substack, and X matched to a user's expertise, with deadlines.
- Monitor HARO: Alerts on HARO queries that match a user's expertise across HARO's three daily editions.
- Find Podcasts: Relevant shows from Featured's database of 814,000 active podcasts, delivered as pitch-ready lists.
- Find Journalists: Self-updating media lists of writers covering a specific beat, including new bylines.
- Bylined Articles: Publications accepting contributed articles and guest posts, with submission details.
- Speaking Opportunities: Conferences and calls for presentations, with deadline tracking.
- Find Creators: Relevant creators and influencers matched to a user's industry or expertise, providing potential opportunities for partnerships, collaborations, and visibility.
- Awards: Recognition programs relevant to a user's industry, with upcoming deadlines.
- Media Mentions: Editorial coverage of a brand, person, or topic across news, blogs, podcasts, and YouTube.
- Competitor Visibility: Coverage earned by competitors, surfaced as pitching opportunities.
- GEO / AI Visibility: Runs a brand's prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini to track changes in AI citations.
- All-in-One: A single workflow covering journalist requests, HARO, podcasts, journalists, bylined articles, awards, and speaking events.
Availability and pricing: Featured Workflows are available on every Featured plan, including Free. Free users can run Workflows until they reach the day's usage allowance; workflows then pause and resume when usage resets the next day. Lite is $29 per month and Pro is $79 per month when billed annually, with higher usage allowances on paid plans.
Unlike automated outreach tools, Featured Workflows stop at the opportunity. They monitor and notify users, but do not automatically contact journalists, podcast hosts, publishers, or event organizers. A human remains in the loop to review each opportunity and decide whether and how to respond.
"PR opportunities can come up at any time, and manually searching for them every day is difficult to sustain," said Brett Farmiloe, CEO of Featured. "PR agencies already pay for monitoring. Most founders and small businesses never set it up. Putting Workflows on the Free plan means anyone can decide what to monitor and how often to hear about it, and Featured does the recurring research. Automation stops at the opportunity. A person still decides whether it's relevant and what to say."
