This section covers how to customize and publish content.

Create a Post

To schedule your first post, click on the Schedule a Post button on the upper right corner.

This brings up the composer, where you will edit your message and select where and when your post should be published:

Attach Media

To add an image, video, or gif to your post, click on attach media. You can upload images and videos from your computer, or utilize the images stored in the cloud by connecting your OneDrive, DropBox or Google Drive. You can also drag and drop media files to the message composer.

Fanbooster by Traject allows you to edit photos without having to leave the app. With Adobe Creative built within the system, our photo editor enables user to crop, apply effects, change colors and so much more.

When you add an image for the first time, the photo editor will automatically appear. Make any edits to your image, and click save to utilize the image in your post. After saving the image,  you’ll see a preview of the image in the message composer. To remove or edit the image, click on the corresponding icons over the image. 

While you won’t need the Text Snippet and Hashtag feature in creating your first post, it’s worth mentioning as these features will save you time in the future. You can create and save pre-approved text snippet templates and hashtag combinations to reuse in your post; it can be a phrase, hashtag or a mention that you frequently use for your social networks.

How to Create a Text Snippet

1. Click on the scissors icon on the upper right hand of the composer window
2. Click Create Template, add a title and text template
3. Save the template. Once created you will be able to see a preview of the text if you hover over the name of the template
4. Use the text snippet template by clicking on it. The text will automatically be inserted to your post.

Accessing Previously Used Hashtags

1. Click on the hashtag icon on the upper right hand of the composer window
2. You’ll see three options at the top of the hashtag menu:
   • Hashtags: hashtags you've recently posted to social media
   • Combinations: collection of hashtags commonly grouped together. Click edit to add a title of the hashtag combination.
   • Most Popular: trending hashtags on social media
3. Use the hashtag/s by clicking on it. The hashtags will automatically be inserted to your post.

How to Add Emojis

1. To insert an emoji, click on the smiley face icon and choose from a wide variety of emojis available.

Links

When you include a link in your message, a link preview will appear in the message composer. You can change the image, title and description of the link you are sharing. To edit the title and description, click on the row of the text.

Target Profiles

Once your message is finalized, choose the profiles you want to target with your post. To publish to all connected profiles, click Select All. To target individual profiles, click on the profile(s) you want to publish your post to.  

Customizing Posts for Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin

2. Choose the platform (you must have a Twitter, Instagram, and/or Linkedin Profile connected for platforms to appear)
