What is an Instant Post?
An Instant Post is a draft type in Create that gets published immediately, and bypasses almost the entire draft form submission process. Instant Posts are great for if you already have finished media and copy for a social media post, and just want to publish it immediately.
NOTE: Unlike a normal Content Draft, Instant Posts can only be published on one social media platform at a time.
How Do I Create an Instant Post?
Instant Posts are created from your Create Dashboard. Follow the steps below to create one or walk through our demo tutorial HERE.
- Click the LIGHTNING BOLT icon next to the "Create Draft" button on your Dashboard.
- Fill out the brief Instant Post intake form. The Content Scheme field has automatically been marked with 'Instant Social Media Post' and Post Topic has been prefilled with 'Instant Post'. You can adjust the Post Topic if you'd prefer a custom topic name.
- Select the PLATFORM you want this post to go out on.
- (OPTIONAL) Add your tags/content pillar to your Instant Post draft.
- Click SAVE DRAFT.
- After submitting your form, you'll automatically be directed to a popup. This popup is a simplified version of your WORKSPACE COLUMN. Upload your Media and Post Copy here.
- Click SAVE in the upper right-hand corner of the popup. This ensures that your Instant Post's Draft will appear in your CONTENT TAB alongside all your pre-planned Drafts.
- Click PUBLISH.
Congratulations! You now know how to publish social media content using our Instant Post Feature. Your Instant Posts will show up in your Content Tab and will automatically marked with the 'Published' status.
