Create Workflows with Social Planner Posts

Turn social media activity into automated actions!

With the new Social Planner Posts trigger in Workflows, you can automate your social media operations based on post statuses and publishing events. From tracking failed posts and streamlining approvals to monitoring published content, build workflows that keep your team informed and reduce manual follow-ups.

What's New

Trigger Workflows Based on Post Status

Automate actions throughout the social publishing lifecycle using the following statuses:

Approval Requested:
Take action when a post is submitted for approval.
Approved:
Trigger actions when a post is approved.
Approval Rejected:
Notify your team when a post's approval is rejected.
Scheduled:
Take action when a post is scheduled for publishing.
Published:
Trigger follow-ups when a post is successfully published.
Failed:
Alert your team when a post fails to publish so they can investigate and take corrective action.

Filter by Category, Platform, and Post Type

Fine-tune your workflows to target the right content using flexible filters:

Category:
Automate workflows for specific content categories, such as promotions, announcements, or educational posts.
Platform:
Choose from Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Google Business Profile (GBP), LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, TikTok, and YouTube.
Post Type:
Apply different automation rules to Carousels, Posts, Reels, Shorts, and Stories.

Target Specific Social Accounts and Tags

Create more precise workflows using connected Social Planner accounts and existing post tags. This is especially useful for agencies managing multiple brands, clients, and social profiles with different publishing requirements.
