Create a review link for a post or a batch, send it to a client who has no login, and see their comments and approval in 1Post.

How to invite a client to connect their account

Send a client an invite link so they authorize their own network account into your workspace without making a 1Post login.

How to set up a recurring post

Make a post repeat on an interval from one day to one month, with a repeat count and an end date, and rotate versions where a network refuses repeats.

How to set a weekly posting schedule

Define weekday and time slots for each account once, then add posts to the queue and let each take the next free slot in your workspace time zone.

How to find your best time to post

Export your post history, load it in the best-time tool, read the ranked weekday and hour slots and turn them into weekly time slots.

How to schedule a first comment

Add a first comment to a post so hashtags or a link appear right after it publishes, with an optional delay of 1 to 120 minutes.

How to post new blog articles from an RSS feed

Connect a feed, write a post template with title and link, and choose whether each new item is saved for review or queued with a daily limit.

Prepare a CSV of up to 500 rows, import it, and fix any row a network would refuse before anything is queued.

How to send a webhook when a post publishes

Add a webhook endpoint, choose the events and networks it covers, send a test and verify the signature on each message.

Create an Application Password in WordPress, connect your site and publish a post with a title, HTML, featured image, categories and tags.

How to add a signature to every post

Save a block such as a call to action or disclosure as a signature, limit it to chosen networks and add it to every new post automatically.

How to save a set of networks

Save a selection of networks and their settings as a set, then start any new post from it without picking again.

How to post to Google Business Profile

Connect your business profile and schedule an update, event or offer with one photo and a call-to-action button.

How to keep line breaks in an Instagram caption

Use the line break tool to put an invisible character on blank lines so the app keeps the spacing between paragraphs.

From one post to every feed
