I want approved posting and follow-up to continue automatically

Social Media Automation

Social media automation keeps approved scheduling and repeatable follow-up running on agreed rules.

Schedule approved social content and handle repeatable replies without doing the same task by hand each time. Publishing, message triggers and review points are configured in the selected social and automation tools.

How this gets fixed

The service is a social media automation setup

This is an automation setup on the accounts you already keep. A scheduling tool gets connected and configured, the repeating questions get written as answers, and the rules that decide what a person handles get set with you.

You end up holding one place to approve a week of posts, and messages that get a useful reply at two in the morning instead of silence.

Scheduling

  • Posts queued across the platforms you keep
  • One place to approve them
  • Posting at the times that suit each platform
  • One tool connected to as many of your accounts as it supports, so one post goes everywhere

FAQ

Questions about this service

Will people be able to tell it is automated?

A first reply that answers the question and says when a person picks it up reads as service. A reply that pretends to be you having a conversation does not, and that version is not built here.

What if someone asks something the saved answers do not cover?

It goes to you. The rules for what gets escalated are set with you at the start, and anything involving money, a complaint or a decision sits on that list by default.

Can it post the same thing to every platform?

It can, and it usually reads badly. The same post gets adjusted per platform, because the formats and the expectations are different even when the message is the same.

Which platforms work with this?

The ones you actually keep. What each platform allows for automated messaging differs and some features are granted case by case, so what is possible on yours is confirmed before anything is built.

Do I still need to write posts?

Yes, or somebody does. This is the queue and the approval, not the content. Copywriting is where the writing gets handed over.

What does the scheduling tool cost?

It is a subscription in your name and it varies with how many accounts and users you have. You get the number before anything is signed up for.
