Creating and publishing Facebook Posts and Reels in HeyOrca is a breeze! Use this handy guide as your reference for creating, scheduling, and publishing Facebook content!

Before you begin:

Step 1: Create a new Facebook post.

Head over to your calendar and select the ‘New Post’, button, or drag and drop your media to your calendar to create a Facebook post!

Step 2: Change your post type to Reel.

To change your post type from a regular Facebook post to a Reel, select the Reel button from the dropdown menu above your media.

Step 3: Add your post details!

With your Facebook post set as a Reel, you can proceed to add in the rest of your details such as your post caption, and hashtags.

Step 4: Schedule your posts for publishing!

Once you've finalized your content and are happy with your post details, you can schedule your post by selecting your desired publishing time.

To schedule your post, you can change the post status to Approved or send it to your clients and colleagues using our Multi-Approval feature or via a shareable link for feedback!

Once your Reel is approved, it'll automatically publish to your Facebook page and audience at the designated time!

Use the Post Preview feature in HeyOrca in order to preview your content as it would display on mobile, as well as save time by bringing you and your clients up to speed on how the post will look!

Here’s how to use the mobile view feature:

Step 1: Open your Facebook post, or create a new one on the calendar.

Step 2: In the top right toggle, click mobile.

Here’s how your mobile preview will look within your mobile feed!

You can access the text editor directly in your post by clicking anywhere on your copy. You can also see the Text Cut Off area as you would on Facebook to show you the rest of the post.

Note: You will need to click back to desktop to exit the mobile preview.
