Write in a title and select where you want the importer to pull from. You can click Toggle Advanced to set up category tags and default accounts for this content if you want.
| Best Practices Tip: Keeping titles and categories aligned makes staying organized easy! For example, say I wanted to create a schedule for "Motivation Monday" that publishes my content weekly on Monday. I have a Google Drive Folder specifically for "Motivation Monday" and have set-up this import to tag all content with the category "Motivation Monday". All new content to this folder is going to auto-import into Social Cloud and from now on this content is going to auto-populate without me ever having to worry about it again! |
Click 'Select All' or scroll and click the content you want to add. Then, Click Import Items
You did it! Social Cloud will import content from your folder every hour!
