Who it's for

For social media: scheduling posts, keeping up with comments, in your tone and with approval. Those hours go into responding to what is happening, instead of into scheduling posts by hand.

This department comes into play in marketing and communications agencies.

How to install it

  1. Choose the template in your environment under Templates.
  2. Point at the integrations it needs and fill in at most three settings.
  3. Test with an example, read the run back and say yes before it goes live.

The full manual (what it is for, what you get, what you need, step by step, testing, errors with cause and remedy) sits with the template in your own environment.
