Create a post
Start a post for a client, write the caption, add pictures or video and choose where it goes. Everything saves as you go.
A post is one piece of content that goes to one or more networks, each at its own time. It starts as a Draft. When it's ready, you send it to the client to review, or schedule it yourself if the client's approvals are off.
Start a new post
Step 1: Open the client and press New post at the top right.
Step 2: Or open the client's Calendar and click a day. The new post starts on that date.
Step 3: If the client has more than one brand, lmnts asks Which brand is this post for?. Click the brand. Each brand has its own connected accounts. See Client brands.
Fill it in
Step 1: Check the Date. It's the day the post goes out. You give each network its own time further down.
Step 2: Type an Internal title, such as Fall menu launch. It's for people in lmnts and is never posted. Once the post is saved, this field is called Title.
Step 3: Write the caption in Post content. Counters under the box track each network's limit. See Captions and character limits.
Step 4: Under Assets, drag pictures, videos or a PDF onto the box, or click it to choose files. A post for Facebook, Threads or LinkedIn can also go out as text alone. See Pictures, video and carousels.
Step 5: Under Platforms, click each network the post should go to. A chosen network lights up in its own color. Click it again to take it off.
Step 6: Press Set time on each network's row and pick a time. See Schedule a post.
Only networks connected for this client appear. If none are connected yet, you only see Other, for a post you put up by hand. To add networks, see Connect your accounts.
Get help writing
Your team can press Write with Sprk under the caption. Sprk writes a caption from the post's title, files and comments and what it knows about the client, and puts it in the box for you to edit. See Sprk, your assistant.
If a client writes posts
A client's own logins can create posts only when your team turns on Post authoring for that client, in the client's settings under Preferences. Their drafts go through review like yours. See Client settings.
In Studio and Studio+ workspaces, your team also sees a Time box on each post for logging minutes worked. See Hours.
Next
- Fix anything lmnts flags before the post can move on.
