Post to multiple social media platforms at once
Bring Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and eight more networks into one calendar. Keep the idea, adjust it per account and see what every platform supports before you schedule.
Plan every network in one week
Prepare a post once, give each account its own caption and let the queue drop it into the next free slot.
- Instagram: Instagram scheduler
- TikTok: TikTok scheduler
- Facebook: Facebook scheduler
- YouTube: YouTube scheduler
- LinkedIn: LinkedIn scheduler
- Threads: Threads scheduler
- Pinterest: Pinterest scheduler
- Bluesky: Bluesky scheduler
- Telegram: Telegram scheduler
- Google Business Profile: Google Business Profile scheduler
- Slack: Slack scheduler
Answer comments and messages in one inbox
Comments and messages from your connected accounts land in one inbox. On Instagram and Facebook, a keyword comment can also send a DM with your link.

See what each post did
Analytics show the numbers each network provides for the posts you publish through Crowdbird, side by side per account.

One link page for every profile
Collect your shop, booking and newsletter links on one page and see how often each link gets clicked.
Your link page is one address. You can put it in any profile that has a link field.
What each network supports
Every network works with the shared calendar and the queue. The rest depends on the platform.
Coming soon: Discord and WhatsApp
Give each network a version that makes sense
Cross-posting means sharing one idea across several networks. The useful shortcut is reusing the topic and assets, not copying every instruction unchanged. A caption asking viewers to comment for a DM needs a different ending on a network where that automation is unavailable. Say you run Ceramico Studio (@ceramico.studio) and have a video showing how you glaze a mug. Keep that video as the shared starting point, then give each account a specific version:
Instagram Reel
Describe the glaze and invite people to comment MUG for a link, with a keyword automation configured.
TikTok video
Open with the glazing step and use a short caption about the process. Remove the automated-DM instruction.
Facebook Page post
Add context about the mug and choose whether a keyword-triggered message would help people find its product page. Crowdbird lets you adjust the caption per account, add a first comment where supported, and review the available previews. Use the multi platform social media scheduler to set a shared publishing time or give the versions different times. You decide what goes out and when.
Instagram: choose the format before the caption
Connect an Instagram professional account, either business or creator, for scheduling and automation. With the Instagram scheduler, you can prepare feed posts, Reels and Stories. Preview the selected format instead of assuming one layout suits every version. First comments are available for feed posts and Reels, not Stories. Keep Instagram to 5 hashtags per post in total (caption and first comment together), and make the opening lines useful before someone expands the caption. If you use comment-to-DM automation, match the keyword in your caption to the keyword configured in the automation. Analytics include reach, likes, comments and saves when Instagram supplies them. Insights can arrive up to 48 hours late, so a younger post may still show as pending. Give it time before comparing it with an older post.
TikTok: prepare a video and a clear next step
Connect your TikTok account to schedule videos through the TikTok scheduler. Review the TikTok preview and write a caption that fits the video itself. A process clip can focus on the action on screen instead of carrying over a longer product explanation. Crowdbird tracks TikTok views, likes and comments, but does not offer TikTok first comments or DM automation. If your caption points to a profile link, confirm that your account has the website field available. A Crowdbird link-in-bio page can gather your links, but it cannot make that field appear.
Facebook: publish to a Page, not a profile
Connect a Facebook Page through Facebook's official login, then use the Facebook scheduler for upcoming Page posts. Personal profiles are not supported. You can prepare a separate caption and first comment for the Page version of your post. A comment containing your chosen keyword can trigger a message with a link and an optional public reply. Make sure what the caption asks for matches the automation you set up. After publishing, use social media analytics to review available results by account or campaign, and don't treat every network's numbers as interchangeable.
Eight more networks: what each one supports
Besides Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, you can connect eight more networks. All of them work with the shared calendar, the queue and a separate text per account. The rest depends on the platform:

Most networks connect through their own official login. Bluesky uses an app password, which Crowdbird doesn't keep. Our posting service stores it only so it can post for you. Telegram connects through a bot you add to your channel. Analytics show the numbers each network provides for posts you publish through Crowdbird. WhatsApp isn't available yet.
Threads: short posts with a topic tag
Threads posts can be text, up to 10 images or one video, but not images and a video together. The text holds up to 500 characters, and you can add a topic tag and a first comment. When you schedule Threads posts next to Instagram, give the Threads version its own short text instead of reusing a long caption.
Bluesky: connect with an app password
To schedule Bluesky posts, create an app password in Bluesky's settings and enter it with your handle. Crowdbird doesn't keep it. Our posting service stores it only so it can post for you, and you can revoke it in Bluesky at any time. A post holds up to 300 characters and up to 4 images or one video.
Telegram: schedule messages through a bot
Telegram connects through a bot that you add to your channel or group as an admin and confirm with a one-time code. You don't create a bot of your own. You can then schedule Telegram messages with up to 10 files, sent silently or without a link preview if you like. Text can be up to 4,096 characters, or 1,024 with files attached. Telegram provides no post statistics, so plan these messages with fixed queue slots.
Slack: messages to a connected channel
When you install the app in your Slack workspace, you choose the channel it posts to. Scheduled Slack messages can carry up to 10 files and appear with the sender name Crowdbird, and you can turn off link and media previews. Slack can schedule messages on its own, so scheduling here mainly helps when the same announcement goes to Slack and to your social channels at once.
Google Business Profile: updates for your location
For Google Business Profile, you schedule standard updates for the location you pick when connecting: text up to 1,500 characters, one image (JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB) and an optional Learn more link. Events, offers, product posts and reviews are not included. Ceramico Studio could use an update to announce new opening hours for its studio shop.
Can I post to multiple social media at once with Crowdbird?
Yes, you can prepare one post for several connected accounts and give the versions the same scheduled publishing time. Each account can have a different caption, so sharing an idea does not require identical text. Crowdbird connects Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and eight more networks, with formats and first-comment options that depend on the destination.
Can I use a personal Instagram account with Crowdbird?
No, Instagram scheduling and automation in Crowdbird require a professional account, either business or creator. Make sure you have that account type before connecting it. You then authorize access through Instagram's own login rather than giving Crowdbird your Instagram password. The connection supports feed posts, Reels and Stories.
Can Crowdbird publish to my personal Facebook profile?
No, Crowdbird supports Facebook Pages, not personal Facebook profiles. Connect the Page you want to publish to through Facebook's official login. You can then schedule Page posts and add a first comment. Comment-to-DM automation is also available for sending a link when someone uses your chosen keyword.
Should I use the same caption on every social network?
You can reuse the core message, but edit any instructions that depend on the network or format. A caption inviting people to comment for an automated message should not carry over to TikTok, where Crowdbird has no DM automation. Review the opening line, destination link and requested action for each version before scheduling.
Does Crowdbird offer TikTok DM automation?
No. On TikTok, Crowdbird schedules videos and shows your numbers, but sends no automatic DMs. If your campaign depends on sending a link after a keyword comment, set up that part on Instagram or Facebook instead. For the TikTok version, ask for something that works there, such as asking viewers which glaze they prefer, and don't promise an automated message.
Which social networks can I connect to Crowdbird?
You can connect 11 networks: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, Bluesky, Telegram, Google Business Profile and Slack. All of them work with the shared calendar and the queue. Comment-to-DM automation is available on Instagram and Facebook, and WhatsApp isn't available yet.
Can I schedule YouTube videos?
Yes, one video per post with title, visibility and tags. You can add a first comment and answer comments in the inbox.
How do I connect Telegram?
You add our bot to your channel or group as an admin and confirm it with a one-time code. You don't have to create a bot of your own. Telegram sends no post statistics.
Which networks support a first comment?
Instagram feed posts and Reels, Facebook Pages, YouTube, LinkedIn and Threads. TikTok, Instagram Stories, Pinterest, Bluesky, Telegram, Google Business Profile and Slack have none.
Can I connect WhatsApp?
Not yet. We'll switch it on once it's ready, and we don't give a date in advance.
