Switching
Switching from Planable: a five-step checklist
Most of the work is reconnecting accounts and rebuilding your schedule. Run both tools side by side for a week if you want a safety net.
-
Connect your accounts
Start the 7-day trial and connect the profiles you run in Planable. If a client owns a profile, send them a client invite link so they can connect it without sharing a password.
-
Rebuild your posting times
Set your workspace's weekly time slots once, by weekday, to match your Planable schedule. "Add to queue" then drops each new post into the next free slot, and you can still pick an exact time for any post.
-
Move your upcoming posts
Put your scheduled posts in a CSV file and create them in one bulk upload, or rebuild them in the composer with a version for each network.
-
Set up client review
Turn on required approval for the posts clients must sign off, then send them the shared calendar link. Teammates who only need to look can join as viewers.
-
Bring in your team
Invite teammates as admins, members or viewers and turn on approvals where you need them.
