Creating a Post
Navigate to Engagement > Posts in your admin panel and click Create Post. The creation process is refreshingly straightforward—no advanced degree in content strategy required:1
Basic Information
Set up your core content with a compelling title, description, rich text content, and upload your post image (1440x1440px recommended—because pixels matter, even if your perfectionist designer isn’t looking).
2
Interaction Settings
Enable comments and likes to encourage engagement, and control image visibility in feeds. Yes, sometimes you do want to hide that image—we won’t judge.
3
Scheduling
Choose your publication status and set start/end dates for visibility control. Because timing is everything, and your 3 AM brilliant thoughts might not land the same way at 3 PM.
4
Advanced Settings
Configure featured status, dark mode images, and template sharing options. For when your post needs that extra spotlight or your brand colors suddenly look terrible in dark mode.
Post Configuration Options
- Required Fields
- Optional Enhancements
| Field | Purpose | Best Practice |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Main headline users see | 50-80 characters, clear and engaging (resist the novel urges) |
| Content | Main post body | Use rich formatting, include CTAs |
| Communities | Determines visibility | Select all relevant communities |
Upload square images (1440x1440px) for optimal display in community feeds. This ensures your posts look professional across all devices and layouts—because nobody wants their carefully crafted announcement to look like it was designed during a coffee shortage.
