Use HighLevel’s Social Planner social media tool to keep all your social media managed in one spot. With this feature, you can manage your social accounts, save time by scheduling posts, and learn what your social media audience thinks in HighLevel. Follow these steps to get started:
Step 1: Connect Your Social Media Accounts to HighLevel
- Integrate the account(s) you wish to use. Click the icons to integrate Facebook, Google My Business (GMB), Instagram, or LinkedIn.
NOTE: This pop up will only appear the 1st time you access the Social Planner. To add or change connected accounts later, please use the Settings feature (gear icon) within the Social Planner.
- When you integrate an account, a popup window will appear, asking you to give permissions to LeadConnector. Granting the permissions requested will allow the integration to complete.
- Select one or multiple Facebook, GMB, Instagram, or LinkedIn account pages to integrate. Click “Next”.
- Click “OK” and LeadConnector will be integrated with HighLevel.
- The page(s) you selected above to allow permissions for are now ready to connect. Select one or multiple and click “Allow”. The integration will now be complete.
- NOTE: You may have multiple accounts from the same source connected (i.e. multiple Facebook pages, GMB pages, etc.)
