Creating a Post

we will work our way through each field that we can edit here name this is the display name for the post so that you can find it easily later on maximum posts with postmaker, you can end up creating far more posts than you need, this helps you restrict to a certain number for this post in your results post content this is where things get interesting post maker will generate everything which is inside curly braces { and } complete example a variation which would produce 20 posts could look like this {hello|howdy} followers {how do you like to|what is the best way to} {start|begin|end|complete|smash} your day? \[!tags] the basics \[hello earth] will produce just one post, which is hello earth providing alternatives you don't care for postmaker if it just produces one measly post; you want more, so you can create more by putting options within your curly braces using the pipe | separator hello {earth|mercury|venus|mars} this will now produce four posts hello earth hello mercury hello venus hello mars if you want to extend this further, you could have different salutations {hello|good morning|g'day|howdy|hello there} {earth|mercury|venus|mars} this has five versions of the first section and our four planets that's 20 posts! using the handy icons below the content window, you can easily save a spintax section as a variable clicking this and giving it a name means you can re use it repeatedly as a variable adding hashtags you can decide how many hashtags to use and where to place them by adding the following text into your post text \[!tags] the hashtags section takes a comma separated list of tags without the preceding '# ' you also need to specify how many of your tags to use for each created version; you can choose a range as i did above (1 to 3 hashtags will be used) the results look like this you can also use variables as your hashtags (see below under using variables) the spaces will be removed and turned into title case just be careful you don't accidentally create some unintentional hashtags using variables in your post text we added variables to postmaker to save a list of products, calls to action, services, urls or anything you want to re use to use a variable, use its name in your post \[rainbows can have the colour] \[rainbowcolours] this generates seven posts one for each colour defined in our rainbow variable in your hashtags enter a variable name in your hashtag list, and all of the items will be added to the list of available tags to use !rainbow , black, white will produce the hashtags red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet , black, white in your media urls like hashtags, you can use a variable containing your publicly accessible urls for media, which will be substituted into your list
