Posting Guidelines (Post Composing Essentials)
Essential Steps for Creating and Editing Posts with eclincher
To create and edit posts effectively using eclincher, follow these essential steps:
Accessing the Post Editor
You can find the post editor conveniently on the default landing page or by navigating to the "Publishing" menu on the left side of your webpage.
Selecting Social Media Channels
Click on the "Select Profile(s)" dropdown to view and select the desired social media profiles for your post.
Creating a New Post
The post editor displays the available character and hashtag counts, which update dynamically as you type your message.
Additional Post Options
Utilize additional post options located in the upper left corner of the post editor. These options allow you to reuse saved replies and hashtags, add emojis, shorten links, and more.
Action Buttons
Action buttons provide access to platform-specific features based on your selections and dynamically appear as you interact with the post editor.
Uploading Media
Choose from various options to add media to your post. You can upload your own media or use free media libraries. The integrated Canva option offers stunning images and graphic editing capabilities tailored for social media use.
Editing Images
Hover over a selected image to access powerful editing tools. The editing tool feature allows you to add a logo/watermark, crop/resize images, apply filters, and more.
Editing Video Metadata
For videos, you can change thumbnails and edit other metadata by using the "Video Properties" button.
Adding Links
The post editor supports hyperlinks. After entering a link, metadata gathered from the link will display, and its appearance may change based on your preferences. Links are scraped and shortened according to your settings in the "Publishing Settings" section.
Mentioning Other Users
When mentioning other users in your posts, start by typing "@" to trigger a dropdown list of available selections for each platform. Use a single social profile when constructing posts with mentions, as each network has its own user tags.
Previewing Messages
Preview your messages before publishing them. The
preview is dynamically updated as you compose your message. Scroll or paginate through the preview to see how your post will look on each selected network. Use the "Missing preview?" option if any issues arise.
Content Delivery Options
Once your post is crafted, choose how it will be published. You can post it immediately, send it for review, or save it as a draft. Use eclincher Analytics or the "Best Times To Post" feature for guidance on the optimal posting times for your audience.
Managing Posts
To locate drafted, scheduled, queued, or pending approval posts, navigate to the right side of the Publishing tab.
Google Drive Integration
You can attach media files from your personal Google Drive. Access the "Add & Manage Accounts" window, navigate to "Integrations," and connect your personal Google Drive using your Google Account.
Note: Only personal Google Drives are supported; those from G-Suite/Domains are not compatible.
