Social

Schedule posts, keep the queue visible, and review engagement after publishing.

Use the sections below for the full walkthrough and the most common follow-up questions.

What this module does

The Social module is the day-to-day control room for scheduled social posts. It helps you move from a draft to a planned post without losing track of what is queued, published, or still waiting for review. When live account connections are available it can publish and measure real activity; otherwise it keeps the workflow visible with deterministic sample data.

What you need to set up first

  • Choose the channel you want to post to, such as X, LinkedIn, or Instagram.
  • Prepare approved copy before scheduling so the queue stays clean.
  • Set the publishing window or timezone you want to work in.
  • Connect account credentials later if you want live publishing and engagement data.

How it works

  1. 1 Each scheduled item is stored with a channel, publish time, and content body.
  2. 2 A refresh pass checks the queue and moves items forward when the publish time arrives.
  3. 3 Published items keep their timestamps so you can tell what went live and when.
  4. 4 Engagement counts are collected after publishing, or filled with deterministic sample data when connectors are not live.
  5. 5 The module keeps channel-level summaries so you can compare performance across networks.

What you'll see in the UI

  • Scheduled and published stats show how much content is still queued versus already live.
  • Follower cards summarize the channel mix and the size of the audience view.
  • The channel table shows each post, its status, and the next scheduled time.
  • The schedule form is where new posts are prepared for the queue.
  • Refresh metrics updates the counters without requiring a full page reload.

How to act on the output

  • Schedule a post once the copy and timing are approved.
  • Cancel a post if the timing no longer matches the campaign.
  • Check the engagement numbers after publish to see which angle worked best.
  • Use the channel breakdown to decide where to invest the next post.

Limits and known gaps

  • Live OAuth connections are still pending for some channels, so sample data may appear.
  • The module does not auto-approve copy; somebody still needs to sign off.
  • Publishing timing is only as accurate as the queue refresh and the channel connection.
  • Detailed audience analytics are not part of this surface yet.

FAQ

Short answers for the most common follow-up questions.

Can I change a scheduled post after I save it?

You can cancel it and create a new version. That keeps the history cleaner than editing a post after it has already been queued.

Why do I see mock engagement numbers?

The module uses sample metrics until a live account connection is active. That keeps the interface useful while the connector work is still pending.

Does the module publish automatically?

It only publishes what you have already scheduled and approved. There is no silent publishing step hidden in the background.

Which channels are supported?

The page is set up for X, LinkedIn, and Instagram style workflows, with the exact connection coverage depending on the current integration status.
