Automate Your Social Media Posting

Post to social media automatically whenever you publish something new, using the zedgad WordPress plugin, a webhook, the API, or a schedule.

Automation pays off when it removes a step you repeat every day. For most people, that step is posting about something they just published.

Four ways to automate posting

Scheduling is the simplest: write posts ahead of time and let zedgad publish them later. The WordPress plugin posts automatically when an article goes live. A webhook lets any app send new content to zedgad. The API gives developers full control from their own code.

Most teams start with one of these and add another later. A blog might use the plugin for articles and the dashboard for one-off announcements.

Choosing the right trigger

Ask what event should cause a post. If it is a new blog post, use the WordPress plugin. If it is a new product, job, or listing in your own app, use the webhook or API. If there is no event, use scheduling.

Each piece of content you send includes a title, summary, link, and optional image. Zedgad turns that into a post for each connected account in the project.

Keeping automated posts trustworthy

Every automated post is recorded in the project log with the platform's response, so you can see what went out without checking each network.

Test with one real piece of content before switching automation on for everything. Check the result on each platform, then let it run.

Key takeaway

Pick the event that should trigger a post, connect it once, and check the log instead of each app.

Practical workflow

From source to published result.

01

Connect your accounts

Create a project and connect the social accounts your audience follows.

02

Choose where content comes from

Write in the dashboard, or send content from WordPress, a webhook, or the API.

03

Publish and review

Publish now or schedule it, then check the result for each platform in the project log.

Questions

Before you publish.

Do I need a developer?

Not for scheduling or the WordPress plugin. The webhook and API are for teams that want to connect their own website or app.

Which content types can I send?

Zedgad accepts articles, jobs, events, products, listings, announcements, and custom updates, each with a title, summary, link, and optional image.

Can I turn automation off for a post?

Yes. You decide which accounts each project posts to, and you can still publish manually from the dashboard at any time.

Create once. Publish everywhere.

Make your next post go further.
