How do I build and schedule a social post from my delivered photos?

Steps

1. 1.Open Social. If you post for clients too, pick your own workspace or a client from the list.
2. 2.Connect Facebook and Instagram on the Connections tab.
3. 3.Start a post in the post editor. Add photos or video from your projects, or upload new media.
4. 4.Write the caption.
5. 5.Choose where it goes with the Facebook and Instagram chips next to the connected account.
6. 6.Click "Publish now", or "Schedule post", which saves the draft and opens the social calendar. Pick a day and a time, then confirm.

Scheduled posts go out on their own at the set time. Reschedule and Unschedule are on the post, and the Posts tab lists every post with its status.

Good to know

• A post can go to Facebook, Instagram or both.
• A video post takes a few minutes to prepare and goes out by itself when it is ready. On Instagram a video always goes out as a Reel.
• If one channel fails, the Posts tab says so and Opsicom tries it again 3 times over the next hour.
• Drafts stay until you publish or delete them.
• Turn off "Manage social for clients" in Settings, Profile if you only post for yourself.

What it does not do

• Social publishes to Facebook and Instagram only.
• A Facebook Page reached only through a business portfolio often does not come through. Give yourself access to the Page itself, then try again.
