Social MediaOverview

Social Media

Social Media is its own area in Novex. It connects your LinkedIn, Meta and X accounts, writes posts for a specific event from that event’s published page, puts them in front of you for approval, and publishes the approved ones on a schedule — with a kill switch at every level.

It used to sit as a single entry under Outreach. It now has its own section in the left-hand nav, because “outreach” means outbound email and half of this is not outbound at all — there is a publishing calendar, an autopilot, and a connected-accounts screen behind it.

The four screens

ScreenWhat it’s for
OverviewPosts at a glance — drafts, scheduled, published — plus your connected accounts.
AutopilotPer-event switches: which platforms, how often, quiet hours, and the kill switches.
Campaign calendarA month view of everything queued. Edit copy, move a post, pause one.
Connected accountsThe account pool for the whole workspace, and which is default per platform.

The per-event surfaces

Some of the work happens on the event itself rather than in this section. Open an event and go to its Social tab:

How a post actually gets out

  1. Connect an account and mark a default per platform.
  2. Turn autopilot on for the event and pick its platforms.
  3. Generate posts in the composer from the event’s published website.
  4. Approve the ones you want. Approving puts a post in the queue at a specific time.
  5. The queued post sends at that time, provided every switch still allows it.

Nothing sends because it was written. A post sends because it was approved and every gate above it is still open — see the approval gate.

What you need

  • Connected accounts — at least one, via the BYO-OAuth wizard in Settings → Connectors.
  • A published website for the event. The composer writes from your published content and invents nothing, so an event with no public page has nothing to write from.
  • An AI key for generation — bring-your-own, on Spectrum and above.
  • Spectrum or above for post metrics.
