Creating and Submitting a Post
Overview
After you have a recording (“take”), the Post Draft screen is where you add a caption, hashtags, choose platforms, and decide whether to post now, schedule, or save for your team stream.
Before You Start
- Complete a take, then tap Create Post (from Record or Recordings).
- Social accounts must be connected for publishing; if none are connected, connect them from the Social Cascade web dashboard first.
How to compose and submit
- Review and edit the Caption (required before posting; suggested text may come from your script).
- Add hashtags with Add (there is a maximum per Instagram rules — the app shows when you reach the limit).
- Under Platforms, select where to publish.
- Under Post Options:
- Post Now — publish immediately to selected platforms.
- Schedule — pick date and time, then confirm with Schedule post in the schedule sheet.
- Save to My Stream — upload for team review without immediate publishing (especially important for Viewer roles).
- If you are editing an existing post and changed caption or hashtags, tap Save Changes.
Role limits (Viewer)
If your role is Viewer, you will see: “Your role limits posting to My Stream. An Admin or Editor can publish or schedule it from there.” You can still save to My Stream; Post Now and Schedule are not available.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Post Now / Schedule disabled | No platforms selected or empty caption | Select platforms and enter a caption. |
| No social accounts connected | Team has no linked profiles | Connect accounts on the web dashboard, then reopen the app. |
| Caption length error | Caption outside allowed range | Trim or expand so the caption meets the stated limits. |
| Scheduled date error | Time not in the future | Pick a later date/time. |
FAQ
Q: Does the app remember my draft?
A: Yes. New post drafts are auto-saved locally so you can leave and return.
