Setting up an Automated Action when a Post is Published by an Account

SocialBu allows you to take automated actions when an account publishes a post. Among many other possible scenarios, you can use this automation to notify your followers about an important post.

To create this automation, follow these steps:

1. After logging into your account, go to the automation tab
2. In order to create a new automation, click on the “Create Automation”.

3. Your automation has been created, now it's time to set it up

4. From the first drop-down, choose “New Post Is Published By Account  ”. This means that your automation would be executed when you will receive a new message on your selected social media accounts.

5. Then select your account. You can choose one or multiple social media accounts.

6. Now choose an action that would be executed when a new post gets published by your selected account

Setting up the actions

Following actions can take place when the automation is triggered:

• An email would be sent.
• A post would be published on social media accounts of your choice.
• A post would be created and added to the queue, so you can repeat it again and again.
• An HTTP request would be sent.

8. While setting up these actions, you can also add data placeholders.

9. You can add one condition or a group of conditions.

11. You can create action groups too. Each action group has one or more actions and a set of conditions is applied to it. Action groups are independent of each other.
