The Social Planner Posts workflow trigger lets you automate actions based on your social media post activity in ZipLeads.
You can create workflows that respond when posts are scheduled, published, approved, rejected or fail to publish. For example, you can automatically notify your team when a post fails to publish.
Important Notes
Only social accounts connected through Social Planner are supported.
Social accounts connected through Integrations aren't currently supported by this trigger.
Your filters decide which post events start the workflow.
