What is a post template?

A Post Template lets you save a composed post—complete with all its content, media, settings, and scheduling preferences—so you can reuse it whenever needed without starting from scratch. It's perfect for recurring campaigns, weekly reminders, or brand-standard formats.

How to save a post as a template

How to save a post as a template
The template can be saved in two ways:

Option A: From Publisher

1 Click Compose dropdown → Social Post.

2 Compose your post, select an account, add captions & media. Click the Template button → "+".

3 Give your template a title and choose visibility:

Only Me – visible only to you
Everyone – available across your workspace

4 Click Create.

Option B: From Dashboard

1 On Dashboard, click Compose dropdown → Social post using Template → Create new Template.

Note:

You can create a new template from the dashboard only once, when no templates exist. After that, you’ll only be able to use the templates you've already created.

2 Composer screen opens, create your post, then click Save as Template.

3 In the popup, enter title & select visibility. Click:

Create & Close – save for later use
Create & Use – use immediately

✅ Your post (caption, accounts, media, labels, campaigns, publishing options, platform-specific settings) is now saved as a template.

How to use a saved template

Templates can be applied in two ways:

Option A: From Publisher → Compose

1 Click Compose dropdown → Social post. Select a saved template. Composer adds the template automatically.

💡 Use Cases: Smart ways to use post templates

Post Templates aren't just about saving time—they solve real workflow problems for content creators and teams. Here are common scenarios where templates make your life easier:

Problem: You always post to the same accounts (e.g., Facebook Page, Instagram, LinkedIn), and selecting them every time is repetitive.

Solution: Save a template with those accounts pre-selected. Next time, load the template and skip the manual setup.

🏷️ Always Adding the Same Campaigns or Labels

Problem: You frequently forget to add the correct campaign or label to posts.

Solution: Store those tags in your template so they’re auto-applied when you use it.

👥 Instagram Collaborators

Problem: You regularly tag the same collaborators (like influencers or partner brands) in Instagram posts.

Solution: Set up a template with your frequently used Instagram collaborators pre-filled to save time and ensure accuracy.

🎵 TikTok Settings

Problem: You need to repeatedly apply the same TikTok settings (e.g., Who can see, Allow user to "Comment, Duet, Stitch"), but end up setting them manually.

Solution: Set up a template with your preferred TikTok post settings and save time.

📺 YouTube Titles, Descriptions & Tags

Problem: You often forget to include standard titles, playlists, video tags, and formatting for YouTube uploads.

Solution: Save templates with YouTube-specific details for quick publishing.

These use cases demonstrate the power and flexibility of templates in real-world publishing scenarios. Create once—reuse forever! 💪
