How do I create and schedule a post?

Complete guide to creating, previewing, and scheduling posts across multiple social platforms in solnk.

Step 1: Open the composer

Click Create Post from your dashboard. The post composer opens with a text editor and media upload area.

Step 2: Write your content

Type your post content in the text editor. You can write plain text, mentions, hashtags, and links. Each selected account has its own editor and platform limit; the character counter updates for the active account.

Where supported, use the comment button below the editor to add a first comment. A first comment is published after the main post. On X it counts as another X post and consumes allowance separately.

Step 3: Add media

Click the media area to upload images or videos from your device, or select from your Media Library. Supported formats:

  • Images: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP
  • Videos: MP4, MOV

solnk validates your media against each platform's requirements before publishing. You'll see a warning if a file exceeds any platform's size or format limits.

Step 4: Select accounts

Choose which social accounts to publish to. You can select individual accounts or an entire Account Group to publish to all accounts in that group at once.

Some platforms have additional options:

  • Pinterest — Select which board to pin to
  • YouTube — Choose a category and set the video as public, unlisted, or private
  • TikTok — Choose Direct Post or send to inbox, then review privacy and interaction settings
  • Facebook — Choose Post or Reel when a video is attached

For X, the composer labels the post as standard or URL-rate before submission. See X publishing limits and allowances.

Step 5: Schedule or publish

You have two options:

  • Post Now — Publishes immediately to all selected platforms
  • Schedule — Pick a date and time, then click Schedule. The post appears in your queue with a "Scheduled" status.

After scheduling

  • View and manage all scheduled posts on your Posts page
  • A scheduled post shows its publish time and target platforms
  • You can edit or delete a scheduled post before it publishes
  • Once published, posts can no longer be modified through solnk

Tips

  • Preview how your post will look on each platform before publishing
  • Use drafts to save work-in-progress posts (drafts are kept for 30 days)
  • Schedule posts during your audience's peak activity hours for better engagement
