The New Auto Posting

The new auto posting engine allows you to quickly create your social syndication content and automate posting to social media accounts. The feature can be set in advanced and becomes available only when you need it and otherwise remains out of the way for a more distraction free work area.

1. Create a New Time Slot

In the calendar section, click on the button '+ New Timeslot'. In the new window create a new time slot for your auto posting. For example Monday 8 a.m. - If you need to add more time slots create one for each day and time.

2. Create a New Auto Posting Category

Navigate to the 'Settings' section and select the 'Autoposting' tab. Click on the 'Add publishing category' button. In the new window give a name to the new publishing category, select a time slot, or multiple, add your channel and save.

If you clicked on the 'Recycle the content' option see next step.

3. Start your Queue

Still in the same 'Autoposting'  tab, click on the 'Start queue' button to activate the auto posting category. If you clicked the  'Recycle the content' option here you can define the lenght of time this category/time slot will be repeated (from 1 week to 26 weeks). 

4. Create a New Amplify Sequence

While we could use any of our existing amplify sequences, we are going to create a brand new sequence for the new auto posting schedule. 

Start by going to the 'Compose' section and in the editor's drop down select 'Create Sequence', give it a name and click 'OK'.

Now select the 'Autoposting' tab and choose the publishing category created in step #2. Then click on the '+Add' button. 

Notice that we do not need to worry about adding channels or selecting a time as all the work is already done.

5. Publishing

Select the amplify sequence we've just created from the dropdown menu in the editor, add your snippets and publish.

After we click on the publish button we should see this message

... and in the renamed 'Queue' section (previously named 'Content') we should see the queued posts pending to be posted in the coming days, weeks or months.

In the calendar section we can also see a detailed view of the auto posting sequences

6. Advanced Category Creation

It is also possible to create the publishing category at the same time we create the timew slots in the calendar, but still we need to activate the publishing category queue from the 'Autoposting' tab in the settings section.
