Creating a post using templates

While you can create posts manually, you might want to speed up your workflow by using our pre-generated templates. Templates are useful in situations when you already have some content in mind, but don't have time to create your own visuals.

Follow these steps to create a post using Socialbud's templates:

1. Click the ‘Create post’ button at the top of the left menu to start creating a post.

   

2. In the pop-up window, you'll see the templates represented by cards with visuals and example texts on them. You can also filter templates by clicking on one of the template categories in the left menu or by clicking "Show all" in one of the sections. Click on a template thumbnail to start creating a post using that template. We'll be using the "Webinar" post template for our example.

   

   Note: The thumbnails displayed here are representations of the style and design of the final post. They are not the exact visuals that Socialbud will generate for you.
   

3. Once you picked a template, - in this case a Webinar- you'll see basic info about this template: the visual, a description, and some examples when this template can come in handy. Click the "Start creating" button to move to the next screen.

   

   Keep in mind: Creating a post from a template will count towards your monthly credit quota of Socialbud AI - if you are in the Start package. You can see your remaining monthly credits on the top of the Home screen.
   

   Note: If there's an AI post generation already happening in the background, the "Start creating" button will be disabled.
   

4. Next, you'll need to fill in some details about your webinar. Once you filled out a section, you'll see a checkmark next to it, indicating that you can move to the next section.

   First, upload an image from your device or pick one from your image gallery. Keep in mind that images can be uploaded in jpg or png format.

   

   Keep in mind that images can be uploaded in .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .svg format.
   

5. Next, enter what the webinar will be about. Give a short, but meaningful description to help Socialbud's AI to come up with the better texts on your final visual. There's a purple callout box which can help you create efficient descriptions.

   

6. Next, enter who the webinar is for.

   

7. Next, click "Generate posts!".

   

8. You’ll receive notifications in the top right corner when the generation process starts and finishes.

   

   Note: This notification dialog stays visible even if you navigate away from the home page. Feel free to explore the app or upload images to your gallery while your posts are being generated. Wherever you are in the app, the modal will remain, and you'll see it update when the generation is complete.
   

9. Once the content generation is complete (you’ll see a notification in the top right corner), click the ‘View post’ button to see the Socialbud-generated post on the ‘Post generated for you’ screen.

   

10. On this screen, you can edit, save, download, or delete the generated content as needed.

    

    If you don’t like the generated content, you can click ‘Reject all’ on the ‘Post generated for you’ page to delete everything.

    

    The reject all, and the delete action cannot be undone, and the posts will be permanently lost.
