Social publishing.

Write a post once and bamboo sends it to the networks you have connected, now or at the time you choose. The week's posts sit on one planner, so you can see what is going out and when.

Social publishing is one composer for the places families and staff see you. Posting to your Google Business Profile is open on every plan today. Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are built and switch on for everyone as Meta and LinkedIn finish approving bamboo.

It is not a social inbox. bamboo posts for you; replies and comments are still read in each network.

What it does

Social publishing, step by step.

  1. 01

    Connect your accounts once

    Sign in to Google from bamboo and choose the location to post as. Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn connect the same way once Meta and LinkedIn approve bamboo; Instagram comes through the Facebook Page it is linked to.

    • Google Business Profile location, today
    • Facebook Page and Instagram, once Meta approves
    • LinkedIn Page, once LinkedIn approves

    Write it once, pick where it goes

    Write the post, add a photo and tick the networks. Send it now or choose a day and time, and it waits in the queue until then.

    • One composer for four networks
    • Post now or schedule
    • Drafts kept until you are ready

    The week on one planner

    Every scheduled and published post sits on a weekly planner, so a quiet week shows up before it happens. The care calendar has a post idea for each awareness day when you need one.

    • Scheduled and published posts by day
    • A queue of what goes out next
    • Post ideas from the care calendar

Why it matters

What social publishing changes.

Families check your pages

A page that last posted in the spring tells a family something about you, whether it is fair or not.

Staff are recruited there too

LinkedIn and Facebook are where nurses and carers look at you before they apply. The same post works for both audiences.

Four logins become one

Most managers stop posting because it means four apps and four passwords. This is one box and one button.

Questions

The ones that get asked.

Which networks can bamboo post to?

Your Google Business Profile today. Facebook, the Instagram account linked to it and LinkedIn are built and open to everyone once Meta and LinkedIn approve bamboo.

Does it reply to comments?

No. bamboo publishes and schedules posts. Comments and messages are still read and answered in each network.

Can I schedule a week ahead?

Yes. Pick a day and time for each post and it goes out then. The planner shows the whole week.
