Developers and integration partners can now schedule and publish Community posts using the Social Planner public API. You can also choose which Community member the post is published as.

What’s included

List Community members

• Search members by name
• Paginate through member lists
• Only active members with publishing permission are returned
• Private Communities return only members of that specific group

Validate member eligibility

Before scheduling a post, you can confirm a selected member is still active and authorized to publish in the Community.

Publish as a specific member

When creating a Community post through the API, you can specify which eligible member the post should be published as.

Publish-time verification

Social Planner performs a final eligibility check before publishing. If the selected member has left the Community or lost permission, the post will fail with a clear error instead of publishing under the wrong identity.

How it works

• Connect a Community group in Marketing → Social Planner → Settings → Social Accounts
• Use Get Accounts to retrieve the Community account ID
• Use Get Community Members to retrieve eligible members
• Select the member you want to publish as
• Create the post using the Community post API
• (Optional) Validate the member before scheduling
• Social Planner verifies the member again before publishing

Why it matters

• Enable Community publishing through marketplace apps and custom integrations
• Automate Community announcements from external workflows
• Ensure posts are published by an eligible member
• Catch invalid member selections before publishing
• Get clear error messages instead of silent failures
• Bring Community posting closer in capability to other social channels

Notes

• Community account connection and management remain available in the Leadli UI.
• The public API supports member listing, member validation, scheduling, and publishing.
• Draft posts don’t require a post-as-user selection.
• Member eligibility is checked when posts are scheduled or published.
• The selected member must remain active and permitted in the Community at publish time.
• API access requires the appropriate Social Planner scopes.

Documentation is available in the Leadli Marketplace developer docs.
