Creating an effective onboarding process for your clients as an agency using Planable can significantly enhance collaboration and streamline your content planning and approval workflows.
Planable Workspaces
A workspace is a collaborative place for your brand's social media content. Where you can create, review, collaborate, publish posts and keep everyone in the flow.
One workspace may be used for one client.
If you have 3 clients, it means that you need 3 workspaces
Create a workspace
You can create a workspace by clicking on the "Create a workspace" button in the Dashboard.
Connect a Page
Now that you've created the workspace, it's time to add your client's pages.
At the moment, you can connect:
Facebook Pages
LinkedIn Personal Profiles and LinkedIn Company Pages
Instagram accounts
Twitter accounts
Google My Business Locations
YouTube channels
TikTok accounts
Pinterest (only business accounts supported)
First, go to "Add Pages".
Select one social media channel you want to connect to (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google My Business, YouTube, TikTok).
Afterward, click on "Add Pages" and follow the instructions when adding a page to your workspace and click on the page to confirm the connection. Then your page will appear in the workspace.
Inviting your Clients
Once the workspace is set up, you can invite your clients to the workspace. You can send invitations via email directly from Planable, making it easy for clients to join and start collaborating, or invite them by generating an invite link.
The Client membership is not available on the Basic PLAN
Manage permissions
We created the simplest roles in Planable, for every one of your teammates or client in the fastest way. You can invite collaborators for every workspace, different for each.
Invite someone as "Guest", the user will be able to see the content only
Invite someone as "Writer", the user will be able to create & edit posts, and leave feedback
Invite someone as "Contributor", the user will be able to create & edit posts, schedule & publish and leave feedback
Invite as "Approver", the user will only be able to approve and leave feedback
Invite them as "Administrator", they will have the rights for scheduling & publishing, inviting people and connecting pages.
The user who created the workspace is the “Owner” by default.
Also, you can easily manage their permission and grant them only the ones they need, such as Approve, Edit, Publish and Administrate.
After doing all of the above, you are ready to create the content, collaborate on it with your team and clients and schedule it on the desired platforms.
