Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have:- A Socializioz account with at least one workspace set up (onboarding guide)
- At least one connected social account (connecting accounts)
Step-by-step walkthrough
Open the composer
Click Create in the bottom tab bar on mobile, or open the Composer from the workspace sidebar on desktop. If this is your first time, a guided tour walks you through the interface.
Select your account
Choose which connected social account should receive the post. Each post targets one account in the standard composer. To publish to multiple platforms at once, use the guided content builder.
Pick a content type
After selecting an account, content type buttons appear based on the platform. For example, Instagram offers Feed, Story, and Reel. Select the type that matches your content.
Write your caption
Type your caption in the editor. You can also use the AI tools in the toolbar:
- AI Write — generate a caption from a prompt
- Enhance — polish an existing draft
- AI Suggest — generate relevant hashtags
Attach media
Click the + button in the media strip to add images or videos. You can upload from your device, pick from the media library, or generate media with AI from the Assist panel.
Instagram requires media on every post. TikTok requires video specifically. Check the content types table for platform requirements.
Review the preflight checklist
Before publishing, check for any blocker hints below the action button. Common blockers include:
- Missing caption or media for platforms that require them
- Blocked terms from your campaign settings
- Missing TikTok privacy or consent settings
Choose an action
Use the action mode switcher at the bottom of the composer:
For your first post, Publish is the quickest way to see a result.
| Mode | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Publish | Send the post immediately |
| Schedule | Pick a future date and time |
| Draft | Save your work and finish later |
Confirm and publish
Click the action button. A success animation confirms your post was sent to the platform. Click View to jump to the post on the schedule calendar.
Using the guided content builder
If you want to publish to multiple platforms at once, use the guided content builder instead of the standard composer:Open the guided builder
In the composer, tap Guided (or the wizard icon) to switch to the 5-step builder.
Connect — choose your accounts
Select one or more destination accounts. The builder supports publishing the same content to multiple platforms in one flow.
Platform — pick content types
Choose the content type for each platform (Feed, Story, Reel, Video, or Post). The available types depend on the platform.
Media — attach your files
Upload images or videos, select from the media library, or generate media with AI.
TikTok-specific settings
If you are publishing to TikTok, the composer shows additional settings before you can publish:- Privacy level — choose who can view the video (Public, Followers only, or Private)
- Interaction settings — enable or disable comments, duets, and stitches
- Commercial content disclosure — indicate if the content promotes a brand or product
- AI-generated content — indicate if the content was made with AI
- Music consent — confirm the video does not use copyrighted music
Scheduling instead of publishing immediately
If you prefer to schedule your first post for a specific time rather than publishing right away:- In the action mode switcher, select Schedule instead of Publish.
- Tap the date/time picker and choose when you want the post to go live. The picker is timezone-aware — it uses the timezone configured in your workspace settings.
- Tap Schedule. The post appears on your content calendar at the scheduled time.
After you publish
Once your post is live, here is how to track its performance:- Check published posts — open the published posts gallery to see your post with engagement metrics (reach, likes, comments) as the platform reports them.
- Review analytics — visit the analytics dashboard to see KPI cards for reach, likes, comments, shares, video views, and engagement rate across all your posts.
- Monitor comments — if you published to Facebook or Instagram, open the comments page to view and reply to comments. Use AI reply assist to draft responses quickly.
Common first-post issues
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| ”Select an account before publishing” | You haven’t chosen a destination account. Tap the account picker at the top of the composer. |
| ”Instagram requires an image or video” | Instagram doesn’t support text-only posts. Attach media from the media library or upload a file. |
| ”Reels require a video file” | You selected Reel as the content type but attached an image. Switch to a video or change the content type to Feed. |
| Post published but no metrics yet | Platforms take a few minutes to report engagement data. Check back shortly or visit analytics. |
| Token expired error | Your account needs to be reconnected. Go to connections and click Reconnect on the affected account. |
