Setting Up Social Posting
Getting Started with Social Publishing and Sharing
If you're new to BrandSlice, welcome! Let's get you started.
The only thing you'll need to do is to connect your social accounts. Once that's done, you're ready to start publishing amazing content shared from the brands you sell. If you've upgraded you've upgraded your account and signed up for the full social publishing feature, you'll also have full access to our social scheduling tool and be able to create, schedule, and publish your own posts.
Step 1 - Getting Started for New Accounts
When you log into your account for the first time, it will automatically place you in the Social Post/Create My Posts menu choice.
Click through the two Getting Started welcome screens, finally clicking on the Connect Your Social Accounts button last.
Step 2 - Connect your social accounts
You'll automatically be taken to the Settings/Social Platform Access menu choice. Alternatively, you could navigate to this same screen any time by simply clicking on the Settings menu manually.
You'll see your store locations listed here. If you notice anything wrong, you can go to the Store Locations menu option and fix the information there.
Before you get started "must-haves"
- You should ideally set up a separate page for each store location and then grant access to those pages one-by-one for each store
- Before pressing the Facebook icon, make sure you are logged into a Facebook account that has Admin rights to the page you want ti connect
- You must have an Instagram Business profile and make sure you're logged in. You cannot use an Instagram personal account.
- Confirm you have a Business profile in the Instagram mobile application. Go to your profile and tap Edit Profile. Business Profiles will have a section titled Business Information.
- You must have Instagram connected to the Facebook page you want to connect
Connect your social accounts
To connect your accounts, click on each social platform icon to each store location. This will initiate the social access grant process flow for that platform where you will be asked to grant access to BrandSlice to have access to post to your account for you.
