The problem it solves

Manually posting the same update to nine different social accounts is tedious and easy to mess up. You end up skipping platforms or posting late because there's no easy way to manage it all from one place.

Who it fits

Small businesses, marketers, or creators who post the same content across many social channels.

How it works

  1. Every 3 hours, the automation checks your Google Sheet for a post marked Ready to Post
  2. It pulls the matching image or video from Google Drive
  3. The media is uploaded and published to your connected social accounts
  4. The Google Sheet is updated to show the post as Posted
What you get

One post live across every channel at once

You mark a post ready in a spreadsheet and it goes out across all nine of your social channels automatically, keeping every audience in sync.

What you get

Published posts across nine social platforms and an up-to-date status log in Google Sheets.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Google Drive folder for media, and a Blotato account with connected social profiles.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
