Understanding the effects
- The time zone affects the calendar, rules and displayed times.
- The approval policy decides whether generated posts appear in Approvals.
- Brand tone and default hashtags shape AI captions.
- UTM values are applied to links in captions where a link is present.
- Compliance switches change what appears in captions for sold properties and energy
ratings.
Common Problems
- Posts appear on the wrong day. Check the time zone here and on the individual rule.
- Everything needs approval. The approval policy requires a person; change it only if
the agency is comfortable with automatic approval.
- Hashtags are duplicated. Remove them from the default list or from individual
captions.
- You cannot edit. Social settings are owner/admin only.
