Social Media Content Scheduler

Setup Time: Under 60 min
Est. API Cost: ~$3–$7/mo
Client Price: $250–$500

Maintaining a consistent, high-quality social media presence across three or more platforms requires content creation, platform-specific formatting, image sourcing, scheduling, and performance review. Done properly, this consumes 5–8 hours every week — creative time that most business operators either cannot afford or consistently deprioritise.

Follow the exact steps below to configure and deploy this automation inside your OpenClaw workspace.

  1. 1Create a new agent named `social-scheduler`.
  2. 2Connect your social platforms via their respective APIs: LinkedIn, Instagram (via Facebook Graph API), and X/Twitter all support scheduling. OAuth credentials for each are stored in your `.openclaw/config.json`.
  3. 3Configure your `BRAND_VOICE` section in the System Prompt: paste 3–5 examples of your best-performing posts as tone references. The agent uses these to calibrate its output to your voice.
  4. 4Set your `POSTING_SCHEDULE`: default is Monday/Wednesday/Friday for LinkedIn and daily for Instagram. Adjust based on your audience's engagement patterns.
  5. 5Enable the weekly brief reminder — OpenClaw will prompt you every Sunday evening with a 10-question brief template.
