With the Consumer Fusion mobile app, you can make a post to many of the most popular social networking sites while on the go. This article will walk through the process of posting to social media using the Consumer Fusion app for iOS and Android.
How to Create a Social Media Post in the Consumer Fusion Mobile App
Starting from the Home screen, tap on the Create a Post button.
The next step will be to choose which business or businesses you would like to make the post for:
The next step is to select which networks you’d like to publish your post to. Icons will appear red if the post has not met the posting criteria for that network (Instagram appears red in this example because no photo has been selected), and gray if that network has not been connected yet.
Note: If you activate the “Post to Instagram Reels only” selector, your post will be published to Instagram as a Reel. You can also upload a photo, which will be used as the Reels cover photo.
The next step will be to add the text and media for your post. You have a few options to add media, either adding an existing photo/video from your camera roll or from your Consumer Fusion content library, or taking a photo using the app. You can add multiple images/videos for many of the social networks, for media restrictions see the section at the bottom of this article.
To add a photo/video from your camera roll or content library, tap on the Add a Photo/Video button on the top left. You should then see a prompt to select where you would like to add an image or video from.
The second option is to take a photo or via directly from the app. To take a photo or video using the app, tap on the Take a Photo/Video button on the top right. You will see an option to take either a photo or video.
Once you’ve added your message and the media that you want to post, it’s time to publish our post or schedule it for later. If you want to publish the post immediately, use the Post Now button:
If you decide to schedule your post for later, you will see a calendar to pick the date and time that you’d like your post to be published.
Once you complete the scheduling process and tap the Confirm button, you will see the date and time that the post is scheduled for on the screen with the option to remove it:
To complete the process of scheduling the post, simply click on the Schedule Now button:
You will see a "Success" message appear once your post has successfully been scheduled:
