After editing a post, the post console will now close.

As part of our Post Console update, there is now an Emoji picker

You can upload videos to LinkedIn Company or Showcase Pages.

In addition, posting a Youtube link from Oktopost will embed the video from Youtube on LinkedIn’s side. This works for Personal LinkedIn Profiles as well.

You can drag and drop posts from the calendar by clicking the social network icon on the post, and dragging it to another day.

If the setting is turned on for the Advocacy Board, Advocates can submit suggestions to the Board admin(s).

Our new Post Console can be moved around the screen by clicking and dragging the top of it. It can also be minimized to the bottom of the screen allowing you to navigate anywhere in Oktopost and bring it back up.

If a Campaign is not selected when scheduling a post, a prompt will now come up reminding you.

Otherwise, the Campaign will now be set as your last-used Campaign by default rather than creating a new General Campaign.

Through the newly updated Post Console, if you view your post in its Full-Screen mode, you will see how your post should appear with options to see it in desktop and mobile view.

Hi there,

We are very happy to announce that you are now able to upload multiple images to your Facebook Pages and Groups! Please note that you are able to upload 8 images at a time and while at the moment, this is not creating a new album, they will be added to the “Timeline Photos”.

Best,
The Oktopost Team

You can save Posts or Messages as a Draft by clicking the arrow next to “Share Now” or “Schedule” and selecting “Save as Draft”. If a Post is saved as a Draft, it will appear on the Calendar with the top-right corner bent inwards so it is easily seen.

Both Twitter and Facebook have character counters now.

Twitter’s will appear as a circle that fills up and will display numbers as you get close to the character limit.

Because Facebook currently allows up to 63,206 characters and in most cases will not be exceeded, the circle will remain hidden from view until you either get close or go over the limit, at which point it will also show the number of available characters left/characters over the limit.

If there is not a Social Profile connected to Oktopost for a certain Social Network, that Social Network will no longer appear in the Post Console.

This functionality is available in the social inbox. You can choose to receive in-app and email notifications when anyone mentions a Twitter profile that’s connected to Oktopost.

Images that are too large will now be resized.

In addition to this, when you are uploading an image for a post, you can use the crop tool to crop it to a recommended aspect ratio.

Clicking on the Date/Timestamp on the Post in the Inbox is a direct link to the related post.

You can tag profiles and pages by using @ and then the profile/page’s name. Use underscores (_) as spaces when searching for a profile/page.

If a Campaign is not selected when scheduling a post, a prompt will now come up reminding you.

Otherwise, the Campaign will now be set as your last-used Campaign by default rather than creating a new General Campaign.

You can now do this by sharing the link to the original post in Oktopost on the relevant Social Network.

The easiest way to get the original post’s link is from the Calendar, click on the original post and View Report, then right-click the link under “Posted By” and copy the link address.
