OpenPostOpenPost documentation
Learn how to connect your accounts, create content, and check every post's delivery.
Connect an account, write an update, and check that it arrived.
Connect your accounts
Choose a workspace, then connect the profiles, Pages, or channels you want to publish to. If someone has invited you to a workspace, its connected accounts may already be ready to use.
On OpenPost Hosted, follow the connection steps in the app. On your own server, start with the separate setup guide for your network. Some need a developer app and approval before they can connect.
Create and publish
A publication keeps your post, destinations, and schedule together. Each destination gets its own version, called a rendition. Start with shared text and media, then adjust each account's version before sending it.
- Write a post or thread and review each destination.
- Choose a publishing time and plan in Calendar.
- Upload and reuse media across your workspace.
- Make an image, edit a video, or trim a clip.
- Record your screen and camera for a demo or update.
Check what happened
Open a publication to see which destinations published and which need attention. A failed destination does not mean the others failed too.
Use Analytics to review the results your connected accounts provide, and Inbox to handle supported comments and messages. Availability depends on the provider and the permissions you granted.
If something went wrong, troubleshooting helps you find the cause before retrying.
Work with a team or automate a task
Workspace roles control who can view and manage your content. Use separate workspaces when accounts, media, and team access should stay apart.
The CLI guide, n8n automation guide, AI assistant guides, and API reference cover other ways to work with the same accounts and publications. The API reference comes from OpenPost's API definition and includes request examples for every endpoint.
Run your own instance
Install with Docker Compose, configure your services, and plan backups and upgrades. The self-hosting section keeps server setup separate from the guides for everyday publishing.
