About Simple Posting
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
Use your Website as a free and simple social media tool for a maximum of 5 Zapier Webhooks.
Each hook can represent a different social media channel (or possibly any connection Zapier offers).
Save time and money as you don´t need any paid third party software to start with if you don´t want to.
Just like for standard posts you got a separate section in the WordPress admin for Simple Postings including categories and tags.
The only difference is that you can select an Alt-Tag and the social media channels (Zapier webhooks) where you want it to be sent.
Like scheduling a standard post you can schedule your Posting for a specific date.
As soon as you hit the Planning-Button the Posting gets sent to every activated webhook which schedules your data in Buffer for example.
Every Posting consists of a title, a text, a featured image and an Alt-Tag for this image. No videos possible.
Tipp: After scheduling a Posting you can replan it for another date and reuse it.
Who is Simple Posting for?
Simple Posting is for any person who is mainly posting text with image on social media channels like Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.
