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





The Basics

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

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

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

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

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

will produce the hashtags

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.
