Social Planner: Community Posting via Public API
Community Posting Enhancement
Community posting has been enhanced for developers and integration partners.
You can now schedule and publish Community posts through the Social Planner Public API, including selecting which Community member should publish the post.
This simplifies the process for marketplace apps and custom integrations to incorporate Community publishing into their workflows.
Integration partners can now access eligible Community members who can publish posts.
- Search members by name
- Paginate through member lists
- Only active, authorised members are returned
- Private Communities only display members of that specific group
Member Eligibility Validation
Before scheduling a post, integrations can check whether a selected member is still active and authorised to publish in the Community.
Publish as a Specific Member
When creating a Community post through the API, integrations can specify which eligible member should publish the post.
Publish-Time Verification
Social Planner performs a final eligibility check before publishing. If the selected member has left the Community or lost permission, the post will not be published under the wrong identity.
Instead, the post will fail with a clear and actionable error message.

- Use Get Accounts to retrieve the Community account ID
