Add Instagram Plays metrics to posts in the calendar

Getting a breakdown of our Total Plays, Plays on Instagram, and Plays on Facebook (when our IG post gets recommended on FB) for organic plays would give us great insight into our overall performance for video posts.

Vista Social now supports X posts with up to 25,000 characters for users on X’s Basic, Premium, or Premium+ plans. 🎉

If you're subscribed to one of these plans, you can create and schedule long-form posts directly from Vista Social, allowing you to share more detailed content with your audience without character limits holding you back.

Increase X's character limit

Twiter has now enabled long from posting in their API. Would be a great addition to the platform!

Mobile Responsive Shared Calendar

The goal with shared calendar is to share a link to posts without needing the client to login. It's not mobile responsive right now and we don't want to have them use the app because it will make them have to login.

The ability of making every post a individualized link. This is so its easier for the team to be able to communicate about post. Right now theres no direct means to share the exact post without describing it. There is inner post comments.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance Vista Social!

As of April 22nd, Facebook has updated its policies, and unfortunately, third-party tools like ours can no longer support auto-posting directly to Facebook Groups.

What Does This Mean for You?

• Auto-Posting is No More: You won’t be able to schedule automatic posts directly to Facebook Groups.
• Hello, Notification-Based Scheduling!: Not to worry! You can still plan your posts for Facebook Groups through our notification-based scheduling feature. This means you'll set up your posts in Vista Social as usual, and we'll send you a handy notification when it's time to post. You can then easily publish your post directly to your group.

We understand how crucial group interactions are to your social media strategy, and we’re here to help you adjust smoothly to these changes. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the best tools and support to keep your social media game strong.

Need help with setting up notification-based scheduling or have other questions? Our support team is just a message away!

Let’s continue making social media easy and effective together. 💪
