## What you'll learn

- How to connect Instagram, TikTok and other accounts
- How to create and schedule a post
- How to set your posting times
- How to read your results

## Where to find it

**Social Planner** is in the top navigation. On the left you'll find **Posts**, **Calendar** and **Analytics** under Publishing, and **Connected Accounts** and **Schedule Settings** under Settings. The **New Post** button sits at the top.

> **Good to know**
>
> - Social Planner is part of the paid plans, including Pay As You Go.
>
> - Accounts are linked per character, so each character posts to their own accounts. Use the **Creator** menu at the top left to switch between characters.


## Step 1: connect your accounts

1. **Open Connected Accounts** In Social Planner, choose **Connected Accounts** and pick the character the accounts belong to.
2. **Add a platform** Press **+ Add Instagram**, **+ Add TikTok** or the button for any platform listed: Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, Reddit and Fanvue. Sign in on the platform's page and approve the connection.

   *In the app:* ![The Connected Accounts page for one character, listing Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, Reddit and Fanvue, with Add Instagram highlighted.](https://www.sozee.ai/assets/guides/schedule-posts/app-1-connected-accounts.webp) *Each platform has its own add button (1).*

3. **Come back to Sozee** A banner confirms the account is connected. You can add more than one account per platform.

> **Instagram and Facebook**
>
> Before connecting, make sure you're logged in to the right account in your browser. Sozee reminds you, because the platform connects whichever account is signed in.


## Step 2: create and schedule a post

1. **Press New Post** Or start from the content itself: every photo and video in your Vault has a **Schedule Post** button.
2. **Choose where it goes** Under **Post To**, pick the platforms. A platform you haven't connected yet is greyed out.

   *In the app:* ![The Create Post window with Post To at the top, Publishing at in the bottom left and Schedule Post in the bottom right.](https://www.sozee.ai/assets/guides/schedule-posts/app-2-create-post.webp) ***Post To** (1), the publishing time (2) and **Schedule Post** (3).*

3. **Add the media** Use **Browse Vault** for something you made in Sozee, or **Upload** an image or video.
4. **Write the caption** Type it in the caption box, or use **Draft with AI**: enter a **Post Topic**, choose a **Brand Voice** and let Sozee write a first draft for you to edit.
5. **Set the platform options** Each platform has its own settings. On Instagram choose the **Format**: Photo, Carousel (up to 10 items), Reel or Story. On TikTok choose who can view it and whether to allow comments, duets and stitches. Reddit needs a subreddit.
6. **Pick the time and schedule** Under **Publishing at**, choose a date and a time from **Quick Times** or **Custom Time**, then press **Schedule Post**.

> **Post right away**
>
> To publish a scheduled post now, use **Publish now** on it in **Posts** or the **Calendar** and confirm.


## Step 3: set your posting times

Open **Schedule Settings** to set your **Timezone** and your daily posting slots. Every date and time in the calendar and posts list shows in that timezone, and empty slots appear as suggestions you can fill.

- **Pick slots you can keep.** Two or three a day you'll actually fill beat eight that sit empty.
- **Reorder with the arrows.** In **Posts**, use **Move up** and **Move down** on a post that hasn't gone out yet.
- **Check the calendar weekly.** The **Calendar** view shows gaps at a glance.


## Read your results

**Analytics** shows how your posts are doing. Filter by **All Posts**, **Via Sozee** or **Organic**, and by the last 7, 30 or 90 days.

- **The totals.** Total posts, impressions, reach and likes.
- **Platform Overview.** Impressions, reach, likes, comments, shares and engagement for each platform.
- **Follower Growth.** How your audience is changing.
- **Post Performance.** Every post with its numbers, so you can see which ones worked.

> **Make more of what works**
>
> Look at your top few posts each week and ask what they share: the shot type, the time, the caption, the format. Then make more like them. [Agent](/guides/ai-agent) can draft the next batch and schedule it from the same chat.

## Mistakes to avoid

- **Connecting the wrong account.** Check which account you're signed in to before connecting Instagram or Facebook.
- **Linking accounts to the wrong character.** Accounts belong to the character picked in Connected Accounts.
- **The same caption everywhere.** A caption that works on Instagram may not suit Reddit or X. Edit it per platform.
- **Posting a 4:5 photo as a Story.** Stories and Reels are vertical. Make them at 9:16.

Connect your accounts once and let the calendar do the rest. [Open Social Planner](https://app.sozee.ai/scheduler)
