New Social

New: Social

Write a post once, give each connected Bluesky, Mastodon or LinkedIn account its own version, prepare images for each platform, and schedule or publish it.

Social is a new section for posts to connected social accounts.

  • Accounts: team admins connect Bluesky, Mastodon and LinkedIn accounts by signing in on each platform. Magpie does not ask for passwords. An account whose access has ended shows Reconnect required.
  • Posts: a post has base text, an optional link and images from Images. Each account has its own band with a character count as that platform counts it, an approximate preview and the image shape it will receive. Typing in an account's band gives it its own version.
  • Ready to publish checks each account against its platform's limits before a post can be scheduled.
  • Scheduling: posts are published at the chosen time in the chosen time zone. Publish now publishes within about a minute. Each account succeeds or fails on its own; Retry retries only failed accounts, and the post's Publish log lists every attempt.
  • Assets: set an image's focal point and description, and see it in each platform's shape with Fill and crop or Fit whole image. Prepared copies do not change the image in Images.
  • Share to Social starts a draft from a sent Newsletter email, a podcast episode, a Store product, a Calendar event, a Hiring job or the Appointments booking page.
  • Calendar shows scheduled and published posts. Team admins can also show them in Calendar.

By default only team admins schedule and publish; Social settings can let everyone who can edit publish.
