WORKINGCreating & Customizing Multi-Platform Posts
How to compose multi-channel post drafts, customize platform-specific captions, attach media, and schedule publishing.
## Creating & Customizing Multi-Platform Posts
The ESER AI Composer is designed around a single principle: **One Core Message, Native Platform Dialects**. Rather than blasting the exact same generic text across all networks, ESER AI allows you to customize the layout, character length, and hashtag structure per destination while writing in a single unified editor.

### Composing a Post: Step-by-Step
#### 1. Select Destination Accounts
In the top channel bar of **Dashboard -> Create**, click the social icons representing where you want to publish. You can select single or multiple accounts (e.g., LinkedIn Profile + Twitter/X + Instagram Business).
#### 2. Enter Your Core Copy
Write your core message in the master text area. You can write manually or click **AI Assist** to generate hooks, bullet points, or expand a short idea.
#### 3. Platform-Specific Customization Tabs
Click individual platform tabs (e.g., LinkedIn, X, Instagram) to tailor each version:
- **LinkedIn:** Add rich line breaks, professional bullet points, and 3 topic hashtags at the bottom.
- **Twitter/X:** Truncate to 280 characters or click **Convert to Thread** to split long copy into numbered tweets.
- **Instagram:** Add relevant hashtags, clean spacing, and set an optional First Comment for link drop.
- **TikTok / YouTube Shorts:** Attach a 9:16 vertical MP4 video file and set search-optimized hashtags.
#### 4. Attach Media Assets
- **Images:** Upload PNG, JPEG, or WebP files (up to 50 MB per file).
- **Videos:** Upload MP4 or MOV files. ESER AI automatically validates resolution (1080x1920 for vertical reels, 1920x1080 for horizontal video).
- **PDF Documents (LinkedIn Carousels):** Upload multi-page PDF documents for interactive LinkedIn slider carousels.
#### 5. Choose Publishing Mode
- **Publish Immediately (Now):** Submits the post directly to provider APIs and records published URL receipts.
- **Add to Queue:** Places the post into the next available high-engagement slot based on your workspace schedule settings.
- **Custom Schedule:** Pick an exact calendar date, time, and timezone.
- **Save as Draft:** Stores the post under **Dashboard -> Drafts** for team review or future editing.

### Best Practices for Maximum Engagement
1. **Never copy-paste identical captions across X and LinkedIn:** LinkedIn favors structured insight breakdowns; X rewards concise, punchy fragments.
2. **Respect the First Fold:** Instagram truncates captions at ~125 characters; ensure your main hook appears before the "...more" fold.
3. **Use Real Media:** Posts with native video or clean multi-image carousels generate 3.2x higher engagement velocity than plain text links.
