Getting Started | SocialRails Documentation

SocialRails lets you schedule posts to 9 social media platforms from one dashboard. Connect your accounts, write your content, pick a time, and SocialRails handles the rest.

1. Create Your Account

Go to socialrails.com/signin and sign up with Google. You'll land on your dashboard right away.

2. Connect Your Platforms

From Settings > Accounts, connect the platforms you want to post to:

Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky, Pinterest, Threads, and YouTube.

Each platform walks you through OAuth, log in, grant permissions, done. You can connect multiple accounts per platform.

3. Create and Schedule a Post

Click New Post in your dashboard. Write your content, select a platform, and either:

Schedule it, pick a date and time, and it publishes automatically
Save as draft, come back to it later
Post to multiple platforms, select several platforms and customize content per platform if needed

Attach images or videos directly in the post editor. SocialRails stores your media and includes it when publishing.

4. Monitor Your Posts

The dashboard shows all your posts organized by status: scheduled, posted, draft, and failed. If a post fails (e.g. expired token), you'll see exactly what went wrong so you can fix it and reschedule.

AI Content Generation

SocialRails includes built-in AI to help you write posts. Click the AI button in the post editor, describe what you want, and pick a tone (professional, casual, humorous, etc.). The generated content drops straight into your editor for review.
