Moving from SocialPilot to Posty

Posty does not import from SocialPilot, so the move is done by hand. Group your SocialPilot accounts by client; each group becomes a workspace.

1
Create a workspace for each client
Create one workspace per brand or client and set its timezone, so every post publishes at the local time you planned.
2
Connect the social accounts
Sign in to each network through its own consent screen. Nobody shares a password, and each account belongs to one workspace.
3
Invite the team and clients
Invite your team with the roles they need, choose the approval rule for each workspace, and invite clients with client visibility.
4
Move the queued posts across
Recreate the posts still queued in SocialPilot, then remove them there so nothing publishes twice.
