Step 1 - Create or choose a blog post to share

Before sharing a blog post on social media, you need to have a blog post in Aida AI Website Builder. You can create one manually, ask Aida to create it for you or use an existing post.

Option 1 - Create a blog post with Aida

1. Ask Aida in the chat to create a blog post about your chosen topic. For example, "Create a blog post about our latest products."
2. Go to Blog > Posts, open the newly created blog post and make any necessary changes.

Option 2 - Create a blog post manually

1. Open Aida AI Website Builder and click the Blog icon in the left-hand menu.
2. Go to Posts and click + Create post. 
   
3. Add your blog content, including a title, image and category, and click Create to save your post.
   

Already have a blog post? Go to Blog > Posts to find the post you want to share. You don't need to create a new one.

Step 2 - Connect your social media account

If you haven't connected a social media account yet, Aida may show a Connect account button in the chat. Alternatively, you can connect an account directly from your blog posts list.

1. Go to Blog > Posts in Aida AI Website Builder.
2. Click the Share icon next to the blog post you want to share.
3. Click Add account in the menu that appears. 
   
4. On the Accounts page, click + Connect account.
5. Select the social media platform you want to connect and click Continue. 
   
6. Follow the instructions to authorise the connection to your social media account and click Connect.
7. Click Finish to connect your social media account.

If you started connecting your account through Aida Chat, return to the chat and tell Aida that your account is connected. Aida can then help you continue preparing your social media post.

Note: If you've already connected a social media account, you can skip this step and select your account when sharing a blog post.

Step 3 - Open the Social Share workspace

Once you've connected a social media account, you can open the Social Share workspace in two ways: through Aida Chat or from your blog posts list.

Option 1 - Via Aida Chat

1. Ask Aida to share your blog post on social media. Aida may also suggest sharing a post after creating it.
2. Follow the prompts to choose the social media account you want to use.
3. Click Open social workspace in the Aida chat.

Option 2 - Via the Posts page

1. Go to Blog > Posts.
2. Click the Share icon next to the blog post you want to share.
3. Select a connected social media account from the list to open the social workspace.

Both options open the Social Share workspace, where you can review and edit your social media post before publishing.

Step 4 - Review and edit your social media post

In the Social Share workspace, you can review your social media post before publishing. Aida can generate a caption based on your blog post and tailor it to the selected social media platform.

You can:

• Adjust the media: Review or change the image used in your post.
• Edit the text: Adjust the caption to match your preferred message.
• Preview the post: See on the right how your content will appear on the selected platform.

Step 5 - Publish your social media post

When you're happy with your social media post, click Share now in the top-right corner of the Social Share workspace.

If everything is ready, your post will be published directly to the selected social media platform.

If something needs your attention, such as an unpublished website, an unpublished blog post or a trial limitation, a confirmation window will appear. Follow the instructions in the window to continue.

Want to share your post on another social media channel? Aida may ask if you'd like to continue after publishing, or you can ask Aida to share the post on another connected channel.

How do I manage my connected social media accounts?

You can ask Aida in the chat to help you add or remove connected social media accounts. Alternatively, you can manage your accounts manually through your website settings in Aida AI Website Builder.

2. Select Social media accounts to open the Accounts page.
