Workspace settings

Workspace settings live under Settings in the sidebar. Changing most settings requires the Admin or Owner role (roles); members can usually view them but not edit.

This page covers General, Post defaults, AI & Voice, Plan & usage, and workspace-level options. The other sections have their own guides: Members, Channels, Labels, States, and Campaigns.

General​

Settings → General is the workspace identity form:

  • Workspace name — display name, shown in the switcher and headers.
  • Workspace URL — the slug. Lowercased automatically; changing it moves you to the new URL and breaks old links and API paths, so rename deliberately. See Workspaces for where the slug appears.
  • Timezone — the workspace timezone.
  • Description — free text, optional.
  • Logo — click Upload logo (or Replace logo) next to the preview; until one is set, the workspace shows a colored initial.

Click Update workspace to save — the button stays disabled until something actually changed.

Email members when a post is published​

Each workspace has a broadcast option: when a variant publishes, every other workspace member gets an email about it (the post's author is notified in-app regardless). It's off by default.

There's no in-app toggle for it yet — flip it through the API (Admin/Owner token):

curl -X PATCH "https://api.writemars.com/api/workspaces/<slug>/settings/" \
  -H "X-API-Key: writemars_pat_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"broadcast_published_posts": true}'

The same endpoint holds two more workspace-level settings without a dedicated UI yet: calendar_start_of_week (a preferred first weekday — the calendar currently always starts weeks on Monday) and time_zone (the workspace timezone the calendar falls back to when your browser doesn't report one; otherwise the grid follows your device's local timezone).

Post defaults​

Settings → Post defaults tunes what's pre-selected for new posts:

  • Posting account defaults — per platform, pick which connected account is chosen first when you add a variant (or create a post with an account). One picker per platform; None clears it. Platforms with nothing connected link you to Channels.

Gotcha: these defaults currently save in your browser only — they don't follow you to other devices or teammates (the page says so too). Workspace-wide sync is planned.

AI & Voice​

Settings → AI & Voice controls whether AI is on for the workspace and the writing context its tools use. A master Enable AI for this workspace switch (Admin/Owner only) gates every AI surface — composer assist, voice, content flagging, and super chat. Below it are two voice tabs:

  • Your voice — every member can generate and edit their own voice profile from recent posts in this workspace. Admins cannot edit another person's personal voice.
  • Brand voice — Admins and Owners can generate and edit a workspace-wide brand voice for company channels. Members can read it because it affects company-channel suggestions.

Each profile has an enable switch. When enabled, generative AI uses the relevant voice document while drafting. Grammar fixes are never voice-conditioned.

See AI, skills, and voice for examples of good voice documents, reusable writing skills, and how AI behaves in editors.

Plan and usage​

Settings -> Plan & usage is present as the future home for subscription, invoices, payment controls, and workspace usage allowances. It is visible in the navigation, but the operational billing controls are not available yet.

Old links to /settings/limits redirect to Plan & usage so saved settings links do not strand users.
