Setup, once
  1. Connect every platform account to Buffer20m
    Go into Buffer's dashboard and link Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn and Pinterest accounts one by one.
  2. Set up a shared folder for weekly content drops15m
    Create subfolders for raw copy, images and video so the week's content lands in one place before scheduling.
  3. Save the standing prompt somewhere reusable5m
    Paste it into a saved doc or a reusable AI chat project labeled 'weekly social scheduling' so it's not retyped each time.
  4. Test with one real week of content20m
    Run the prompt on an actual post, load the output into Buffer, attach media, and check the preview render on each platform before the scheduled time hits.
  5. Set default posting windows per platform10m
    In Buffer's calendar settings, define the usual send times for each platform so the queue defaults to sensible slots.
The standing prompt
You are helping me adapt one piece of ecommerce content into platform-specific social posts. Core message: [CORE_MESSAGE]. Link or product: [LINK_OR_PRODUCT]. Write native versions for Instagram (caption plus up to 5 hashtags), TikTok (short punchy caption with a hook), Facebook (slightly longer, conversational), Twitter/X (under 280 characters), LinkedIn (professional framing, minimal hashtags), and Pinterest (keyword-rich description written for search). Match each platform's typical tone and length, and flag if the image or video will need a different crop or aspect ratio for a given platform.

How to Build a Thriving Membership Community: 10 Do’s & Don’ts

What it will not do

It will not decide which product or promotion deserves the week's post, it will not catch a brand voice drift if the core message is off, it will not edit or color-grade video, and it will not fix a platform API outage that stops a scheduled post from going out.

Done when

By Monday at 10am, the Buffer queue shows a full week of posts scheduled across all six platforms with platform-specific captions already in place, with no manual retyping done in any single platform's native app.
