Article Categories Classify Articles as they're published

With Cityzen you can create Article Categories, or sets rules that classify articles into specific topics based on their title, description, and body.
​
We include basic categories like 'politics', 'crime', and 'NCAA basketball', and you can create your own custom rules under the Article Categories menu tab.

You can have polls automatically embed into a category

Categories can automatically polls to an article when it's published if you setup an auto-assign rule in the polls dashboard.

Start in the poll set 'Assign to Articles' section:

In the dropdown, select a category, then click 'Preview':

​
At the bottom of the modal, you can select if you'd like for future matching articles to receive these polls automatically.

Use the calendar tool to customize future application:

Upon clicking 'Assign', the articles you selected will be added to your assigned articles for this poll set.
