Ted writes posts for the social networks you connect, and keeps everything he makes in the Library: posts, documents and lists, from every run. Open it with Library at the top left of Run. This page shows how a post goes out, what each status means, and how to read your posts’ numbers.
The Library with Ted's posts grouped by network, each stack showing how many need approval, are scheduled or published, and his documents and pictures below.

​
How a post goes out

1

Ted drafts a post

He writes a post for one of your networks. Ted’s activity says so, like “Drafted an Instagram post”. The post waits under From Ted on Home, and in the Library as “Needs approval”.
2

Review it

Press Review. The post opens the way the network shows it, with a line saying what your choices do, like “Approve posts it to Instagram now. Decline sets it aside for 14 days.”
3

Decide

Press Approve to post it now, Schedule to pick a time, Edit to change it, or Decline to set it aside. See Approve Ted’s work.
4

Watch it go out

It shows “Publishing”, then “Published”. Its numbers appear under Post performance once the network measures it.
With Runs on its own, Ted can post or schedule posts himself where Publish & schedule posts is on. See Ask first or Runs on its own. Ted’s posts need a paid plan.

​
Before a post can go out

When you approve a post, Foundable checks it with the network. If something stands in the way, the review says so: Each network takes a set number of characters in a post. When you edit a post, Foundable counts as you type and says “Too long for Instagram” (or the network you’re on) when you go over. An Instagram post always needs a picture.

​
Schedule a post

Press Schedule in the review and pick a time. The post shows “Scheduled · …” and “Goes out …”, and goes out at that time. If the time is too close, you see “That time is too soon. Pick a later time and schedule it again.”

​
What a post’s status means

​
Bring back a declined post

A post you decline is set aside, not deleted. To use it after all, find it in the Library under its network’s Set aside view, open it, and press Bring back to drafts. You can do this for 14 days. After that, it says “This draft expired”.

​
When Ted asks to take a post down

Ted may ask to remove a post he published. His line in Ted’s activity opens the post, which says “Ted asks to take this down”, with Take down and Keep it. With Ask first, it waits for the owner or an admin. With Runs on its own, Ted can take his own posts down himself. If the network doesn’t remove it, you see “Instagram didn’t take it down” or “The take-down isn’t confirmed”.

​
How your posts are doing

Open a published post in the Library to see Post performance: the numbers each network last reported for it, such as its “Lead measures”. Switch the chart between Total and Daily. These numbers aren’t live. Each network first measures a post about 15 minutes after it goes out, then about every hour while it’s new, and less often as it ages. The post says when each network last reported, like “Instagram last reported · …”. A post the network hasn’t counted yet says “Not measured yet”, and its chart starts once the network has measured it twice. Ted checks these numbers too as he works: you’ll see lines like “Checked how your Instagram post is doing” in Ted’s activity. For a summary across your posts, see Insights on Home.

​
The Library

The Library keeps everything Ted has made, from every run. Press Close to go back to the canvas. Open a network’s stack to see its posts in four views: Needs approval, Scheduled, Set aside and Completed. A post that waits for your decision opens the review. Any other post opens a read-only Post preview, with a link to the post on the network once it’s live.

​
Who can do what

Everyone in your foundable can open the Library. The owner and admins approve, schedule, decline and edit posts, and decide Ted’s take-down requests. Members don’t see Connect, and View only people can look but not change anything.

​
FAQ
