Autolists
An autolist is a set of several publications that you can share on different social media automatically. You can schedule them periodically. Define on which days and at what times you want them to be published automatically, and you can start it, pause it, or circulate it so that your social media are always active.
Share content manually, through a CSV file, or with an RSS feed.
Creating an autolist
Click on "Create new autolist"
- Name: name that defines the content that the list will contain.
Global configuration:
Repeat: Circular list. Once a content is published, it moves to the end of the list to be published again when it is its turn. If not, it will be removed from the autolist and will not be published again.
Shortener: Automatically shorten your URLs.
- Networks to publish: Activate the social media where you want to share your posts simultaneously.
- Scheduling: Select the days and times of the next publication.
- Content of the list. You can do it in three ways:
Manual: click on write new and draft each post.
CSV: upload the CSV file with all the data of the posts you want to add to your autolist. The CSV file will have two columns, the first for the text of the post and the second for the URL of the image you want to add, which is optional. You can configure the character that will be used as a separator between the two columns. If you want to add an image, it must be previously adapted to each social media.
RSS Feed: it is a file generated by some websites that contains the information published by that website. This RSS is updated every time new content is published on the blog.
The first thing to do is to put the URL of the feed and click on search. If the file is correct, the recent content contained in the feed file will be discovered.
Next, complete the following information:
- Prefix: text that will go at the beginning of all the posts that your feed contains.
- Suffix: text that will be placed at the end of each post.
- Include previous posts: if you click on this option, the last contents contained in the RSS and the upcoming ones will be included. If you do not check this option, only the next ones will appear, meaning that the autolist will start when a new post is made.
- Add deactivated posts: which means that the posts added will be included deactivated, so they will not be published on your social media until they are manually activated.
- Add to the beginning of the autolist: if you check this option, the new posts from the RSS will be incorporated at the beginning of the autolist. If you do not check this option, they will be added by default at the end of it.

Frequently asked questions
How many brands can be integrated into social media?
With an Acumbamail account, only one.
Do you need special plans within those social media?
No.
Can you compare with competitors? How many can be added for comparison?
Yes, up to 100 different accounts. You only need the username of your competitors. You can observe your competitors on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, and YouTube.
In the reports, how many emails can I add to receive the report monthly?
There is no limit.
If I have a multi-user account, can I know who made a post?
No. Multi-users accessing with your Acumbamail account depend on the main account. All posts made, regardless of the status, are done with the main account. Only users with Manager and Administrator roles can access.
Are SmartLinks like a landing page?
Yes.
Can the emails of followers be used to create a list?
No.
Can I connect a personal LinkedIn account?
Yes. But only for publishing. Analytics are only obtained from company accounts.
What is the analysis capacity?
If we talk about history, it is 2 months back from the moment a social media is connected, except for the number of followers which we cannot know. That is, this data is taken at the moment you connect to the social media. If we talk about metrics and for example, you have been using it for a year, you could check the metrics for the entire year plus the 2 months back obtained when connecting the account for the first time.
