Schedule the week's promotion in SocialPilot and check the posts that failed

An AI agent schedules the promotion in SocialPilot on the accounts you ask for, checks it is in the queue and tells you which post failed.

How do I schedule the week's promotion on all my networks with SocialPilot without doing it account by account?

Someone on the team asks the Met, on the web platform, to schedule the week's promotion with its text, the invitation to write on WhatsApp, the networks and the time. The Met confirms the SocialPilot account, lists the social accounts and groups, and creates the scheduled post on the right ones. Then it checks the queue to confirm it is there, and finally it checks the posts that failed and opens each one to say what happened, so the team schedules it again in time.

What starts it

When someone asks for it

Someone on the team starts the task on the web platform and says what to post, on which networks or group and at what time. The Met works from that instruction.

A manual task: someone on the team runs it with a button, or asks the Met for it in chat.

Who runs it

Content Met that schedules in SocialPilot

Social team

It has no seeded name of its own: it is the Met that posts on the business's social networks, with SocialPilot connected. Its work ends when the promotion is scheduled on its accounts and the team knows which ones failed.

The procedure, step by step

Each step shows the tool that runs. They belong to the real connector: if one of them stopped existing, this page would not build.

1
Confirm the SocialPilot account

The Met pulls the details of the user the connection was authorized with, to know which SocialPilot account it is going to schedule in.
- userinfo SocialPilot
2
Find the accounts and the group

The Met lists the connected social accounts, filtered by network or by client, and the account groups. If the person asked for a group, it uses that group's accounts.
- accountlist SocialPilot
- grouplist SocialPilot
3
Schedule the post

The Met creates the post with the requested text and schedules it on those accounts for the given date and time. This step needs the create posts action to be on.
- createpost SocialPilot
4
Confirm it is in the queue

The Met lists the scheduled posts and checks that the promotion shows up on each account. If it is missing on one, it tells the person instead of assuming it is done.
- accountqueued SocialPilot
5
Check the ones that failed

The Met checks the posts that failed to publish and opens each one's details to say what happened, so the team fixes it or schedules it again.
- errorposts SocialPilot
- viewpost SocialPilot

Before you start

What you need ready

The Met solves none of these for you. If one is missing, the automation stops there.

Social accounts connected in SocialPilot

Your team has the business's networks connected in SocialPilot and, if it wants, organized in groups or by client.
SocialPilot connected with posting on

In Met, open Connections → SocialPilot → Connect, sign in and authorize access. Leave the create posts action on if you want the Met to schedule.

The limits

What this automation does NOT solve

Better said here than discovered halfway through the rollout.

It does not ask anyone for confirmation before scheduling. If you prefer to approve first, the SocialPilot page includes an action to save drafts and you can ask for that in the instructions.
It does not fix a disconnected account in SocialPilot: it says which post failed, and reconnecting the network is done in SocialPilot.
It does not answer the comments or messages the promotion brings in: the conversation with the customer happens in your Met channels.
It does not measure how many sales the promotion brought: SocialPilot says what was published, not what was sold.
