Accounts for $79/mo on Agency plan

Seven steps, start to finish

Every RecurPost account follows the same seven-stage loop, but not every stage is on every plan. Composing, scheduling and publishing run on all plans. The client-facing stages — separate workspaces, password-free onboarding, the approval workflow and white-label reports — start on the Agency plan. This page sits in the RecurPost adoption and support guides, and each stage below links to the feature area that owns it.

Step 1

Connect without passwords

Invite clients by email or shareable link. They authorize their own accounts, so credentials never change hands. Password-free client onboarding and separate client workspaces start on the Agency plan; the plans that include each one are listed on the RecurPost pricing page. RecurPost Collaborate & Engage owns this stage.

Email and link invitations

Send an invite; the client signs in with their own social login.

Client-side authorization

Access is granted through official platform APIs and can be revoked anytime.

Separate workspaces

Each client gets an isolated workspace with its own accounts, content and team access. Client workspaces start on the Agency plan.

Connect without passwords
Step 2

Compose once, customize per platform

Write a single source post, then tune each network version without starting over. RecurPost Compose owns this stage.

Ten platform versions

Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Google Business Profile, Pinterest, YouTube, Threads and Bluesky.

AI content generation

Draft captions, rewrite for tone or length, and generate hashtag sets.

Media editing and extras

Crop and edit images, add first comments, alt text and platform-specific options like CTAs or Pinterest boards.

Compose once, customize per platform
Step 3

Schedule your content

Pick exact times or let recurring libraries keep the calendar full automatically. RecurPost Schedule owns this stage, and RecurPost bulk scheduling documents the CSV format and its current batch limit.

Dates, times and recurring slots

Schedule one-off posts or assign libraries to repeating weekly time slots.

Bulk and automated sources

CSV upload, RSS feeds and evergreen content libraries.

Drag-and-drop calendar

Rearrange the week visually and lean on best-time recommendations per account.

Schedule your content
Step 4

Approval workflow

Nothing goes live before the right person signs off. The internal and external approval workflow starts on the Agency plan; the plans that include it are listed on the RecurPost pricing page. RecurPost Collaborate & Engage owns this stage.

Draft → submit → review → approve

Rejected posts return to the author with feedback attached.

Team and client approvals

Route to an internal reviewer, the client, or both in sequence.

Shareable client calendars

Send a read-only calendar link so clients can comment without an account. Personal includes 2 shareable calendars and Agency includes 5.

Step 5

Reliable publishing

Posts go out on schedule in the time zone set on each account, and a failed post is reported to you immediately. Posting a tweet that contains a link carries a $0.20 fee that X charges, paid from an X Wallet inside your RecurPost account; the RecurPost pricing page states the current terms.

850+ documented error types

Failures come with a plain-language explanation and the exact fix.

Automatic retries

Recoverable errors such as rate limits are retried automatically.

Alerts and manual retry

Email and in-app notifications for failed posts and expired tokens, with one-click reconnect and retry.

Step 6

Social inbox

Comments, DMs, mentions and reviews from every connected account in one queue. RecurPost Social Inbox owns this stage.

Four networks unified

Facebook Pages, LinkedIn Company Pages, Instagram Business and Google Business Profile.

Team workflow

Assign conversations, add labels and clear the queue together.

Instagram DM automation

Auto-reply to common questions and story replies so nothing waits overnight.

Step 7

Reports and analytics

Turn a month of activity into a client-ready report in a couple of clicks. White-label analytics reports start on the Agency plan; the plans that include them are listed on the RecurPost pricing page. RecurPost Measure owns this stage.

The metrics clients ask for

Reach, engagement, clicks, follower growth, top posts, audience demographics and best posting times.

Campaign, paid and custom reports

Label-based campaign reports, paid ads performance, and Custom Reports that let you choose which metrics each report contains. Custom Reports are included on Agency; other plans get a 14-day trial.

White-label delivery

Export to PDF with your agency branding, or schedule weekly and monthly delivery automatically. White-label reports start on the Agency plan.

Reports and analytics

A typical week

What the workflow actually looks like once everything is set up.

Monday

Compose and queue the week's content across every client workspace.

Tuesday

Review approvals and share client calendars for sign-off.

Daily

Check failed posts and clear the social inbox — usually under ten minutes.

Month start

Review reports and walk clients through performance.

When this workflow fits, and when it does not

Built for: agencies, freelancers and in-house teams publishing on a recurring schedule across several accounts, where posts need review before they go live and clients expect a branded report each month. The full seven-stage loop assumes the Agency plan, because workspaces, approvals and white-label reports start there.

Not built for: a single operator running one or two accounts, who will not use workspaces, approvals or client reporting and should compare the Starter and Personal plans instead; teams that need brand-wide social listening across the open web, which RecurPost does not provide; and teams that need to answer messages on all ten networks, because the social inbox covers four business account types rather than every connected platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about the workflow

How does RecurPost work?

You connect social accounts into workspaces, compose posts once and customize them per platform, schedule them by date or recurring slot, route them through approval, and RecurPost publishes them. Engagement lands in the social inbox and results roll up into reports.
No. Clients receive an email or link invitation and authorize their own accounts through each platform’s official login. You never see or store their credentials, and they can revoke access at any time. Password-free client onboarding starts on the Agency plan; the plans that include it are listed on the RecurPost pricing page.
Yes. Write a single source post and RecurPost creates a version for each connected network, which you can edit individually — different copy, media, hashtags, first comments and platform-specific options.
RecurPost detects the failure, matches it against 850+ documented error types and explains the cause in plain language. Recoverable errors are retried automatically; otherwise you get an email and in-app alert with a reconnect or manual retry action.
Posts move from draft to submitted, then to review where a teammate or client approves or rejects with comments. Approved posts publish on schedule; rejected ones return to the author. Clients can also review through a shareable calendar link. The internal and external approval workflow starts on the Agency plan.
