How to Create a New Post

This article covers how to create a new post from your SocialGlow dashboard.

At the top of every Template, Group, and Library, there is an option to add a new post.



Start by clicking on either the template, group, or library you want to add a new post to. Then click either the Add New Post or Create New Post button, located at the top of that page.



This will take you to a page where you will be creating your new post.

There are 2 different post type options given here: Add Media and Video Link/Live Strea



Add Media (This is the default option)
Select this option if you want to create a post that includes any type of media such as:
Pictures
Videos
GIFs

Use the Upload Media section to upload your video, picture, or GIF files to the post. You can add multiple to a single post.

You can add any text, website links and/or video links directly in the Message box. The system will generate a preview of a link once posted.



Video Link/Live Stream
Select this option if you are scheduling a post notifying your group members when you are streaming live.

For the Video Link/Live Stream field, you would enter the link of the location you'll be streaming at (such as a YouTube live event link, or Zoom meeting link).

After your post information has been filled out:
Designate each post with the Day and Time* you want that post to be published.
Select your preferred Comment settings.
Click Create Post.

The Day is not the date of the month, but rather notes the order of your posts. For example, if you have a 3 days of scheduled posts , Day 1 would post the first day of posts, Day 2 would post the second day, and Day 3 the final day. Later, when you schedule this template to post to a group, you will choose the actual date you want your posts to begin posting on!



That post will now be listed in that template, group, or library labeled with the Day and Time you had selected.
