Key features

The app contains several key features that we'll explain in this section of the article. We'll address uploading and sharing content in more detail below. 

• Inbox
  Here you'll find an overview of every new suggestion that has been made by your Social Master. Instantly share, edit, or delete posts from here. 
• Archive
  Every post that you've shared will be automatically transferred to your archive. This allows you to come back whenever you want and re-share specific posts on other platforms.  
• Team Connect
  In the bottom right corner, you'll see the option of Team Connect. This shows all the past activities by the rest of your team. This section displays all of the shared and uploaded posts that were suggested by the team. 
• Leaderboard
  The leaderboard tracks the performance of your team and will show the most active ambassadors. Gain points by sharing content and uploading new items to your Social Master. Game on! 😉

Sharing content

You've officially completed the entire setup and the mobile app is ready for use. It is now up to your Social Master to start creating social media posts for you to share. In this chapter, we will discuss how to share incoming posts. In addition, we will address to what extent you can influence these proposed posts.

1. Each time your editor has created a new social media post for you, you will receive a push notification on your mobile phone. To check and share your post, please open the push notification or open our mobile application.
   
   
2. After opening our app, your post will appear at the top of your personal Inbox. You have two different options here: Share and Delete. If you like the post and want to share it directly? Press Share to share the post to the platform of your choice. Click the platform icons to share to that specific platform. 
   
   
   ⚠️Important: Please follow the instructions on the screen carefully. There are some differences in how to share on the various platforms. Check our more in-depth article on how to share on these platforms.
                          
3. Don’t like the text and want to add a personal touch? Use the edit button to change the post to your liking. Please note that you can only perform textual edits, and cannot edit the included media. The edit button will appear after clicking on Share. If the post isn't relevant for you or your network, click Delete. The post will not be shared on any of your accounts and will be removed from your app. 

Uploading content

Apart from sharing content to your own personal social media accounts, the Apostle app also offers the possibility to upload content to your Social Master. Maybe about the event you just attended, an interesting article you came across while browsing, or a personal success that you’re celebrating today.

You can upload the photo and provide some context, and your Social Master will transform your upload into a professional social media post. After that, they will send it back for you and your colleagues to share on their personal accounts through our mobile app. 

How does it work?

• Open the Apostle app and log in.
• Click on the + icon at the bottom of the screen.
• A text box will appear where you can type your content and give some context. In addition, you can add media to your post by clicking the photograph button.
• [Optional] Turn on the Let's share immediately switch if you want to directly post this to your accounts as well as upload it to your Social Master for other colleagues to share. 
• Click Send to upload the post to your Social Master.
• That's it! Your Social Masters will receive the input in their dashboard and will review your post. They'll soon send the updated version back for you and your colleagues to share.
