Getting Started
From signing up to your first published post.
No code required. About ten minutes, most of it spent on the network authorisation screens.
1. Create an account
Sign up at fopost.com/dashboard with an email address, Google, or GitHub. Your first two connected accounts are free with no card required, so you can publish before you decide.
2. Connect an account
Go to Accounts and click Connect next to a network. You are sent to that network's own authorisation screen, you approve, and you come back. FoPost never asks for your password.
Start with one. You can add the rest later, and Connecting Accounts covers the networks with extra requirements, such as Instagram needing a Business or Creator account.
3. Write a post
Click New Post. Type once, tick the accounts you want, and watch the preview: each network is rendered as it will actually appear, so you catch a truncated line or a badly cropped image before your audience does.
Anything a network needs differently, you override on the same screen. A shorter version for X, a different first line for LinkedIn.
4. Publish or schedule
Publish sends it now. Schedule puts it on the calendar for a date and time, and it goes out whether or not you are at your desk.
Either way, each account is delivered independently, and the post's status tells you exactly which ones landed.
5. See what happened
The post shows a per-account status with a link to the live item. If one network failed, the reason is on the post, and one click retries just that account.
Then what
Once one post is out, the parts that save real time:
