Hogyan működik a Posty
A hat fogalom, amire minden más épül: munkaterület, csatorna, bejegyzés, csoport, ütemezés és közzététel.
The six concepts
Workspace
The workspace is the largest unit. Everything you see in Posty belongs to exactly one workspace: the channels, the calendar, the media library, analytics, team members, and API keys.
You switch between them in the top-left corner. Switching is a full change: you get a different calendar, different channels, and a different media library.
If you work as an agency for several clients, you have two options. A client group is a label inside one workspace: shared calendar, shared media library, a filterable view. A separate workspace is real separation: a separate calendar, a separate media library, a separate team. You can add client groups later. Splitting into workspaces, though, means reconnecting the channels, so it is worth deciding this at the start. Details are on the Team and workspaces page.
Channel
A channel is a connected social account. Connecting goes through the platform's own consent flow, and we receive an access token, not your password.
The token can expire or be revoked, so the channel's status can change. The four states are described on the Managing channels page.
Post and group
When you select four channels in the editor, you write one post, not four. We publish four times, but the calendar shows one item, and a group identifier ties them together.
If you delete it on the calendar, the scheduled post disappears from all four channels. From the API, the same difference is between DELETE /posts/:id (one channel) and DELETE /posts/group/:group (the whole post).
The life of a post
| Status | How it gets here | What happens to it |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | You save it as a draft, or you move it back from Scheduled. | Nothing. It does not go out, even if it has a date and time. |
| Scheduled | You put it on the calendar with a future date and time. | We try to publish it at the minute you set. |
| Published | The platform accepted the post. | Stats start accumulating from this point. You can no longer take it back from Posty. |
| Error | The platform rejected it, or the channel was unavailable. | The error message is on the post. After you fix it, you can schedule it again. |
Four interfaces, one calendar
You reach the same calendar four ways, and all four use the same permissions and limits:
Anything you can do on one, you can do on the others, with a single exception: only a person can connect a channel, because the platform asks for consent.
