Getting started with Styrar

Welcome to Styrar. This guide walks through the essentials so you can go from signup to a useful workspace, a connected social account, and your first scheduled post. Styrar brings planning, publishing, links, media, and analytics into one dashboard, so the best first setup is a small one: add the basics, connect one channel, publish one piece of content, then build from there.

1. Complete your profile

Open Settings → Profile and confirm your name, email address, main country, and timezone. Timezone is especially important because scheduled posts use it to decide when content should go live. If you work with a team in another region, set your personal timezone to where you usually review and schedule content. Company workspace settings can still keep the shared team context separate.

If your account supports two-factor authentication, turn it on before inviting teammates or connecting sensitive social accounts. It adds a short extra step at sign-in and helps protect your workspace if a password is ever exposed.

2. Connect a social account

Open Settings → Social and choose a platform. You will be taken through the platform's standard authorization flow in your browser. Sign in to the correct platform account, review the requested access, and approve the connection. Styrar does not ask for your social platform password directly, and you can disconnect an account later from the same settings page.

Start with one account, even if you plan to connect several. A single connected account lets you test the composer, media library, schedule, and analytics flow without mixing up brands or profiles. If you manage Facebook Pages or Instagram professional accounts, make sure the correct Page or Business account is selected during authorization.

After the connection completes, return to Settings → Social and check that the account appears with the expected platform name and profile. If it does not, reconnect and grant access to the right profile.

3. Create a post

Open Social from the sidebar and create a new post. Draft the caption, add media from your Files library if needed, and choose the connected account you want to target. The composer helps you keep each platform's rules in mind, including caption length, required media, and available post options.

Use Save draft while you are still editing. Drafts are useful for collecting ideas, reviewing wording, and preparing posts before a campaign is ready. When the post is ready, either publish immediately or choose a future date and time. Scheduled posts run in the background, so you do not need to keep the dashboard open at publish time.

If your workspace uses approval flows, the post may need a reviewer before it can go live. The post status will show what is waiting and who can take the next action.

4. Track results

After a post is published, open Analytics to watch performance over time. New metrics do not always appear instantly because each platform reports data on its own schedule. Give recently published posts a short window to sync before comparing reach, engagement, or clicks.

Analytics works best when you look for patterns, not just one-off spikes. Review which formats get engagement, which platforms drive clicks, and which times tend to work for your audience. Use those observations to plan the next batch of content.

If you use short links, create campaign links in Links before publishing. That gives you cleaner click reporting and helps separate social engagement from traffic to your site or store.

5. Build your workspace

Once the basics are working, customize Styrar around your workflow:

• Add more connected social accounts under Settings → Social.
• Upload reusable media to Files so the composer always has approved assets nearby.
• Create short links and QR codes for campaigns, product launches, or events.
• Invite teammates from the workspace settings if you manage content with others.
• Explore automations when you want Styrar to react to events or repeat common tasks.

Keep the first version simple. A clean workspace with one or two reliable processes is easier to scale than a complicated setup nobody uses.

Troubleshooting first setup

If a social account does not appear after authorization, return to Settings → Social and reconnect it. If a scheduled post does not publish, open the post detail and read the error message first, then check whether the connected account still has permission. If analytics looks empty, wait for the next sync window and confirm that the post was published through a connected account.
