Create a post

Use the composer to pick accounts, write your text, add media, check the preview and publish now, schedule or save a draft.

Everything starts in the composer. Open it with Create post at the top of the sidebar, or click a day or time slot in the Calendar.

Step by step

  1. Choose where it goes. Under Post to, click one or more connected accounts.
  2. Write your text in "What do you want to share?". The counter under the text shows the characters left for each chosen network.
  3. Add media (optional). Drop files in, choose them from your computer, or use Add from Google Drive. You can also bring in a page from Notion.
  4. Adjust per network (optional). Click an account's tab to write a version only that account gets. See Per-network versions.
  5. Fill in network settings if shown, for example a YouTube title or a Pinterest board. See Network settings.
  6. Check the Preview on the right. It shows how the post looks on each network.
  7. Finish with one of the buttons:
ButtonWhat happens
Post nowThe post is queued and goes out within a few seconds.
SchedulePick a date and time (in your workspace time zone), then Schedule post.
Save draftSaved without a time. Finish it later from the calendar's drafts.
Send approval (Pro)Goes to the Approvals board; nothing is published until someone approves it.

Checks before anything goes out

The composer lists any problems under Checks, for example text that is too long, too many images, or a missing video for YouTube. Fix them and the schedule button turns on.

Best practices

  • Lead with the point. Many networks cut the text after a line or two; put the key message first.
  • One idea per post. Clear posts get more engagement than long lists of announcements.
  • Use media. Posts with an image or a short video usually get noticed more.
  • Check links in the preview. Some networks (Bluesky, LinkedIn) show a link card.
  • Schedule, don't rush. Scheduling a few hours ahead leaves time to spot a typo in the calendar.
