Welcome to SocialBu. This checklist will help you set up the basics and start managing your social media from one place.
1. Create and review your account
Sign in to SocialBu and check your account details. Make sure your name, email address, password, and basic settings are correct before you start inviting others or connecting social accounts.
2. Connect your social accounts
Connect the social profiles, pages, or groups you want to manage. After connecting them, confirm that each account appears in SocialBu and is available in the post composer.
3. Create your first post
Open the post composer, choose one or more accounts, add your content and media, then either publish now, schedule for later, save as a draft, or add it to a queue.
4. Review your calendar
Use the calendar to check what is scheduled across your accounts. This helps you avoid gaps, overlaps, and accidental duplicate posts.
5. Invite your team if needed
If you work with other people, create a team and invite members. Give each person the permissions they need so they can help without sharing social media passwords.
6. Explore the main features
Publish & Schedule: Create, schedule, queue, and bulk import posts.
Respond / Inbox: Manage incoming conversations from connected accounts.
Analyze & Reports: Review performance and understand what is working.
Automate: Save time with RSS, message, post, and webhook automations.
Generate & AI: Create captions and content ideas faster.
Recommended next step
Start with one connected account and one scheduled post. Once that works smoothly, add more accounts, invite your team, and set up automations.
