How to use AutoSharing in Publer

Instead of manually sharing an existent post from one social account to another, you can AutoShare it through Publer. This will automatically share the link of the published post, to the specified social accounts.

For example, if you create a YouTube video and toggle on the AutoShare feature for a social account (i.e. Facebook), then the link of this video will be automatically shared to Facebook, as specified.

You can use AutoSharing in a few ways with Publer:



1. When you are creating only 1 post for 1 social account:



Go to Create on top of the dashboard and select the social account on the left.
Design the post to your liking (add images, links, GIFs, hashtags, locations, etc.). Please be aware of what each social account supports.

For example, if you are only adding a text to the post, auto-sharing won’t work for Pinterest because there should also be an image attached for it. But, you can add the image to Pinterest right away.

Click on the AutoShare icon underneath the post.

AutoShare

Specify on which social accounts you want the post to be shared.

When AutoSharing to Google Business Profiles, you are required to add a caption or some text, otherwise the post won't be AutoShared.

Finally, specify the time when you want this post to be shared on the selected accounts.

2. When you are creating only 1 post for 2+ social accounts:



Go to Create on top of the dashboard.
Select 2+ social accounts on the left.
Design the post accordingly and hit AutoShare.

AutoShare

Choose where you are going to share each social accounts’ post, each one separately.
Select the social accounts’ icon one by one and click below to assign that post to other accounts.

Finally, specify the time when you want this post to be shared on the selected accounts.

3. When you are creating different posts for 2+ accounts:



Simply follow the same steps as in point 2 while you are creating Customized posts.
If you have scheduled the post and you want to edit it, go to Posts > Scheduled, filter based on social accounts and Edit the post accordingly.

Remember:



AutoSharing will work regardless if you're posting right away or if you're scheduling at a specific time in the future.
If you are creating the same post for different social accounts at the same time, you can use the AutoShare tool, but you need to specify where each post has to be auto-shared individually.
The same thing as above happens when you are creating Customized posts, different posts, for each social account.
If you delete the original post, there won’t be a post to auto-share.
When AutoSharing to Google Business Profiles, you are required to add a caption or some text, otherwise the post won't be AutoShared.
You can't AutoShare posts that are published via push notifications, like Threads posts.
