Switching from SocialBee: 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.

-
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.
-
Turn categories into tags
Recreate your SocialBee content categories as tags, filter the calendar by them, and use recurring posts for the evergreen items you recycle.
-
Bring in your team
Invite teammates as admins, members or viewers and turn on approvals where you need them.
