Beginner's Guide - PostRite Docs

1. What is PostRite?

PostRite is a social media management tool that lets you create, schedule, and publish posts across multiple social media platforms from a single place. Instead of logging into each platform separately, you write your content once and publish it everywhere.

With PostRite, you can:

Write a post and publish it to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more — all at once
Schedule posts to go out at a specific date and time
See how your post will look on each platform before publishing
Save reusable templates for content you post frequently
Manage a library of images and videos
Invite team members to collaborate

2. Creating Your Account

Go to app.postrite.app and sign up. You have three options:

Google — Sign in with your Google account (fastest option)
Magic Link — Enter your email and receive a sign-in link (no password needed)

After signing up, you'll go through a short onboarding wizard that helps you create your first organization and set your preferences.

7-Day Free Trial

Every new account is eligible for a 7-day free trial with full access to all features. Select a plan and enter your payment details to start — you won't be charged until the trial ends.

3. Understanding the Interface

After signing in, here's what you'll see:

Sidebar (Left)

The main navigation is in the left sidebar. Here's what each page does:

Dashboard — Overview of your account activity and recent posts
Posts — View all your posts (drafts, scheduled, published, failed). Create new posts here
Queue — See your upcoming scheduled posts in chronological order
Templates — Manage reusable post templates
Calendar — Visual calendar view of your scheduled content
Uploads — Your media library of uploaded images and videos
Platforms — Connect and manage your social media accounts
Settings — Account, notification, appearance, team, and billing settings

Organization Switcher

At the top of the sidebar, you'll see the organization switcher. This lets you switch between different organizations if you're part of multiple ones. Each organization has its own posts, platforms, media, and settings.

4. Connecting Your Social Accounts

Before you can publish posts, you need to connect at least one social media account:

Go to Platforms in the sidebar
Find the platform you want (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.)
Click Connect
Follow the prompts to authorize PostRite

PostRite supports 11+ platforms:

Facebook Pages
Instagram Business
Twitter / X
LinkedIn
TikTok
YouTube
Threads
Pinterest
Discord
Telegram
WhatsApp Business
Google Business Profile

Some platforms like Twitter, Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp require you to provide API credentials. See the Connecting Accounts guide for detailed instructions for each platform.

How many accounts can I connect?

The number depends on your plan: Basic (3 accounts), Standard (6 accounts), Advanced (12 accounts). You can connect accounts from different platforms or multiple accounts from the same platform.

5. Creating Your First Post

This is the core of PostRite. Here's how to create a post step by step:

Step 1: Open the Post Editor

Go to the Posts page and click New Post.

Step 2: Write Your Content

Type your post content in the text editor. As you type, you'll see:

A character counter showing how many characters you've used vs. each platform's limit
Warnings if you exceed a platform's character limit

Step 3: Select Platforms

Use the platform selector to choose which platforms to publish to. You can select multiple platforms at once. Each platform shows its connected account name.

Step 4: Add Media (Optional)

Add images or videos to your post:

Drag and drop files onto the upload area
Click the upload area to browse your computer
Click Browse Library to pick from your Media Library

Step 5: Preview

The right panel shows a live preview of how your post will look on each platform. Switch between platforms to see the preview for each one. You can also switch between mobile and desktop views.

Step 6: Publish or Schedule

Publish — Click Publish to post immediately
Schedule — Click the schedule button, pick a date and time, and click Schedule Post
Save as Draft — Click Save Draft to save without publishing

Interactive Walkthrough

The first time you open the post editor, you'll see an interactive walkthrough that highlights each part of the editor. It's a great way to learn the interface.

6. Managing Your Posts

The Posts page shows all your posts. Each post has a status:

Draft — Saved but not published or scheduled
Scheduled — Set to publish at a future time
Published — Successfully posted to all platforms
Partially Published — Published to some platforms but failed on others
Failed — Failed to publish
Cancelled — Unscheduled by you

Use the filters and search to find specific posts. Click on a post to view details, edit it, or see which platforms it was published to.

Re-trying Failed Posts

If a post fails, you can retry it. Open the post and click Retry. Check that your platform connection is still active before retrying.

Duplicating Posts

Want to create a similar post? Open an existing post and click Duplicateto create a copy that you can modify.

7. Using the Calendar and Queue

Calendar

The Calendar page shows a visual calendar with all your scheduled and published posts. It's great for planning your content strategy and spotting gaps in your posting schedule.

Queue

The Queue page shows your upcoming scheduled posts in a list, ordered by scheduled time. Use it to quickly see what's going out next.

8. Templates — Save Time on Recurring Content

If you post similar content regularly (weekly updates, product announcements, event promotions), templates save you time:

Go to Templates
Click Create Template
Write your reusable content and add media
When creating a new post, click Use Template to start from a template

Templates can include content text, media files, and tags. See the full Templates guide.

9. Media Library — Manage Your Images & Videos

The Uploads page is your media library. Upload images and videos once, then reuse them across posts and templates:

Upload files by clicking or dragging
Search and filter by type (images, videos)
Preview, download, or delete files
Select files from the library when creating posts (via Browse Library)

See the full Media Library guide.
