Bring your SEO, digital PR and generative engine optimization workflow into Copilot. Find relevant publications, read their requirements before writing, prepare your article or press release, and track editorial feedback and recorded results using your existing Sitetrail NewsPass account.
The connector does not sell plans or process payments. An eligible paid NewsPass account is required to submit an article. Your normal Sitetrail plan, eligible publications, credits and fulfilment workflow apply.
Install and connect
- Install NewsPass PR by Sitetrail through your Microsoft 365 agent store when the listing is available. Your organization may require administrator approval for external agents.
- Open NewsPass PR by Sitetrail in Copilot and ask to see your plan and available credits.
- Select the Sitetrail sign-in action. Sign in on Sitetrail using your own account, then approve the connection. Do not paste your password into the chat.
- Return to Copilot and allow it to use the approved connection when Microsoft asks.
If a sign-in window does not open, check whether your browser has blocked the popup. Complete sign-in in a supported normal browser if your embedded browser cannot open it. Microsoft account sign-in and Sitetrail account sign-in are separate.
Choose a publication before writing
Ask: “Find publications on my plan for a technology campaign. Show the requirements, examples, credit cost and turnaround for the publication I choose.” Review those details before drafting. Availability and turnaround vary by publication; a listed turnaround is not a guarantee of acceptance or publication.
Prepare your article and images
You can provide a title and formatted article directly, or an accessible Google Doc link. A Google Doc is optional. For Doc import, set the source document to Anyone with the link can view; editing permission is not required. Include the exact links and anchor text you want in the article.
A featured image is required. For body pictures, include captions and descriptive alternative text where appropriate. If Copilot cannot transfer an attachment directly, NewsPass returns secure upload links for the featured and body images. Upload through those links, return to Copilot, and continue the same draft. Arbitrary image URLs are not fetched as a substitute for owned uploads.
Preparation saves a draft without spending a credit. Ask Copilot to retrieve the prepared version and review the full text, image roles, captions and links. When editing, keep the same case and verify the complete saved article; a ready status alone does not prove that the AI preserved every word.
Approve submission and track the result
When the draft is correct, explicitly request submission of that prepared version to the selected publication. Review the title, publication and credit cost, then use Microsoft’s confirmation control. Submission uses the normal NewsPass allowance and editorial checks. Preparation and review may take time; continue the same operation rather than starting another copy.
Ask for the case status, editorial feedback and recorded live URL. Some destinations use manual fulfilment. Pending is not Live. Once available, the case also includes its retained Google Doc archive. A recorded Live result describes the publication event; it does not independently guarantee that a destination URL remains available indefinitely.
Interactive status requests are supported. The connector does not create autonomous batches or frequent polling jobs. Account-level daily fallback checks operate only while cases are pending; proactive delivery depends on the AI platform.
Use Sitetrail directly or disconnect
You can continue the same work at Sitetrail My Account. Manage or revoke app access in AI Connections. Disconnecting an app does not cancel your NewsPass plan or erase previous articles. Customers without a NewsPass account can review the service at Sitetrail NewsPass.
Support and privacy
