How to Manually Post From the Mobile App

  1. To manually post, at the scheduled time of your post, you will receive a mobile push notification (as long as you have these turned on via the mobile app) to whichever social channel you choose when scheduling your post. Tap on the notification to open your post details in the Planoly Mobile App.
  2. When you click “Copy & Open”, we will download the media to your device, copy the caption to the clipboard, and open the social media app automatically.
  3. Once in the desired app, initiate creating a post.
  4. Upload the media. It will be the most recent photos and videos added to your phone app.
  5. Paste your caption by double-tapping the caption field. 
  6. Finally, publish your post and come back to the Planoly app, and indicate that your media has been posted!

Step #6 is important to make sure the post is confirmed as posted. After you publish, come back to the Planoly app, and indicate that your media has been posted. If this step is not completed, the post will remain on your Planoly grid as scheduled. 

Please Note:

  • When posting via Post Now or push notification, as soon as you click the link or notification, your post is removed from your grid and placed in your History (found in the menu on the mobile app). Once you post it, Instagram then sends the image back to your Planoly grid as a posted image.
  • In the multi-channel workspace, immediate posting ("Post Now") is not available. Instead, you can schedule posts with a reminder notification that alerts you when it's time to manually publish the post via the app. These scheduled posts must be set at least 5 minutes in the future.
