If you wish to allow Soshie more autonomy and step away from crafting each social media post, the periodic scheduling feature is the best approach for you. This is a all-in-one solution for crafting a social media strategy according to your needs, vision and context gathered in Brain AI.
This solution requires a lot less input from you than manual post generation and scheduling in Soshie's chat: simply clarify a few questions and approve generated posts placed in a in-app social media calendar; it's essential you fill Brain AI with information on your business first.
Setting up periodic post generation for the first time
The first time you start using this feature, you will need to go to Soshie's chat and click on "Activate weekly posts":
Once you do, Soshie will need to clarify some details on your social media pages and business. Then you will have the option to upload media (videos and images) to use or skip this step to generate images for you. After this - you will be able to work on other thinks or navigate the app usually and will simply receive a notification in the Inbox when the generated posts will need your review!
You will be able to see the overview of Soshie's generated posts and assigned dates for publishing in the calendar view. There, you will be able to review the posts, adjust them if you'll want to and approve or delete them.
Reviewing periodically generated social media posts
After setting up the periodic post generation, you will need to review each post with a label "Needs approval" and approve it so it's actually considered scheduled. If a post is not approved - it will not be actually scheduled.
You can review posts by:
Clicking on the individual post in the social media post content calendar view
Clicking on "x posts to review" tab in the social media post calendar view
Going to the inbox, which holds all of the tasks requiring your attention, and clicking on "x posts to review"
During approval process, you can see the image that will be posted along with the caption, date scheduled and the social media page it will be posted to. In this stage you can adjust the following:
The media used for a post - if the image used or generated is not to your liking, you will be able to upload other media from Brain AI next or instead of the existing media;
The caption of the post
The social media and it's page it will be posted to
The date of the post going live
From here, you will simply need to approve or decline the post generated:
To schedule the post and confirm the information is to your liking - click "Approve"
To remove the generated post from the content calendar and ensure it does not get scheduled - click "Decline"
Once approved, the post will no longer have a yellow "Needs approval" label, instead it will have a green "Scheduled" label:
Tip: to quickly adjust the date the post is scheduled to go live on - simply drag and drop the post in the post calendar view. This can be done with both approved and needing approval posts.
That's it! You will be prompted to upload content for future posts and receive new generated posts on a weekly basis.
