The Social Planner supports connections to all major social media platforms. Connect your accounts once, then create and schedule content across all of them from a single calendar. Navigate to Marketing > Social Planner to get started.

​
First-time setup

When you open the Social Planner without any connected accounts, a setup wizard displays icons for each supported platform. Click any icon to begin connecting that platform. If you already have accounts connected, click + Socials to add more platforms.
Access to the Social Planner and the ability to connect social accounts depends on your user permissions. Contact your account administrator if the option is not visible.

​

Log in to your personal Facebook account and grant the required permissions. This account must have admin rights to the Business Page.
