Share a post with a client

Every post in Postra has its own preview page. You can send the link to a client so they can see the post before or after it goes out. They do not need a Postra account to open it.

Get the link

1. On the Calendar page, hover over a post.
2. Click the eye icon (Preview Post). The preview opens in a new tab.
3. Click Share with a client. Postra copies the link and shows Link copied to clipboard.
4. Paste the link into an email or a chat with your client.

Share with a client appears only when you open the preview from the calendar. The page your client opens does not have it.

What your client sees

The preview page shows:

• the channel’s name, picture and handle, with the platform’s icon
• the text of the post
• the pictures and videos in the post. Videos play on their own, without sound.
• every part of the post, in order, if it continues as a thread
• Publication Date:, in the time zone of the person looking at the page

If the post has been deleted, the page says Post not found. If Postra is briefly unreachable, for example during an update, it says Preview unavailable and asks you to try again in a moment.

Comments

The comments sit next to the post. Someone who is not signed in sees a Login / Register to add comments button instead, and does not see the comments.

Only members of your workspace can add comments:

1. Open the preview while you are signed in.
2. Type in the Add a comment… box.
3. Click Post.

If someone signs in with a Postra account outside your workspace, their comment is not saved. Postra tells them: The comment was not sent. Please try again. Your text stays in the box, so nothing is lost.

Comments show without names. Each person appears as User1, User2 and so on, numbered in the order they first commented. The oldest comment is at the top.

Comments appear only on the preview page. To read them, open the post’s preview while you are signed in.

What the link shares

Anyone who has the link can open the page. It has no password and no expiry date. It works until you delete the post in Postra.

The page shows only this one post. It does not show your calendar, your other posts or your other channels.

Comments are hidden from people who are not signed in, but they are not private. Write them as if anyone with the link could read them.

Customers

If you manage channels for several clients, group each client’s channels under a customer:

1. Click the three dots next to a channel and choose Move / add to customer.
2. Under Select Customer, pick a customer or type a new name.
3. Click Save.

Once your channels are split into customers, a person icon (Select Customer) appears at the top of the calendar. Pick a customer to see only the posts on their channels. That makes it easy to go through one client’s posts and share their previews. In the post editor, the same icon picks all of that customer’s channels at once.
