- Claude Code users: Run a terminal command to schedule a week's posts from a markdown file, with review before publishing.
- Telegram agents: Text a bot like OpenClaw to repurpose a reel into a carousel and schedule it for 9am.
- n8n/Make users: Build a workflow that triggers daily at 9am, generates a caption with an AI agent, and publishes via the native node.
How does Social by InstantDM work?
- Authenticate — Generate a workspace-scoped API key from the dashboard.
