Facebook Text Posts with Backgrounds: Now in Social Planner

We didnโ€™t just add text posts, we brought Facebookโ€™s native background post experience directly into Social Planner. โœจ

You can now create, schedule, and publish colorful Facebook text posts without switching to Facebook manually.

๐Ÿš€ Whatโ€™s new

  1. Native Facebook Background Posts: Create Facebook-style text-only posts with colorful native backgrounds directly inside Social Planner.
  • Supports instant publishing and scheduling
  • Fully integrated into the existing post composer
  1. Background Picker Inside Composer: When Facebook is selected, a new Text Background option appears.

Users can:

  • Browse multiple background presets
  • Select backgrounds instantly
  • Preview styles live while editing
  1. Real-Time Facebook-Style Preview: The composer now mirrors Facebookโ€™s native appearance for background posts.

  1. Smart Validation & Auto Handling

The system automatically manages background compatibility:

Workflow Builder: Resize and Expand Sidebars

Whatโ€™s new?

We added new workspace controls to the workflow builder, giving users more flexibility while editing workflows. You can now resize the action and trigger sidebar, and expand individual actions or triggers to full screen when you need more room to configure them.

New workflow builder options –

Resize the sidebar -Adjust the width of the action or trigger sidebar by dragging it left or right. This helps you choose how much space the configuration panel takes based on your screen size and the amount of detail you are working with.

Expand actions and triggers – Open any action or trigger in full screen to focus on its configuration without working inside a narrow panel. This is useful for longer setup areas like emails, forms, messages, or actions with multiple fields.

How to use it

  • Open any workflow action or trigger.
  • Drag the sidebar edge to resize the panel.
  • Use expand mode for the action, trigger when you need more space.

Why we built it

We built this to support different screen types and give users full flexibility over how they want their workflow workspace to look. It helps users focus on detailed setup when needed and gives them more room to configure larger actions and triggers.

Additional Notes

  • Applies to workflow actions, triggers, and the features in the left side bar.
  • Action and trigger sidebars can be resized based on screen size and preference.
  • Actions and triggers can be expanded to full screen.

New Dashboard Widgets for Appointment Services & Rentals

๐Ÿ‘€ What's New?

  1. 11 new Appointment Service widgets covering revenue, coupon performance, staff rankings, and location-level insights โ€” all available directly in the dashboard and custom reports.
  2. 11 new Rentals widgets for tracking rental revenue, inventory status, deposit collection, and booking lifecycle (upcoming, active, overdue, unconfirmed).
  3. Appointment Count by Service and Appointment Count by Service Category are now consolidated under the Services sub-module for easier navigation.

Note: Appointment count now reflects meetings only โ€” Previously, dashboardโ€™s appointment count widgets in the Meetings module included both meeting and service bookings. They now show meeting appointments only. Service and rental booking counts have their own dedicated widgets under the Services sub-module.

๐Ÿ‘ท How It Works:

  1. In Agency view, head to Sub Account Settings โ†’ Calendar Settings to enable Services and Rentals.
  2. Navigate to sub-account's Dashboard or Custom Reports builder.
  3. Find all 37 widgets including the two newly relocated Appointment Count widgets in Widgets => Appointments module.
  4. Add Service/Rentals widgets from the Appointments module to monitor inventory and booking health.

๐ŸŒŸ Why It Matters:

  1. Maximize revenue visibility โ€” Instantly see which services, staff, and rental listings are driving the most revenue, so you can double down on what works.
  2. Optimize rental operations โ€” Track overdue, unconfirmed, and upcoming rentals in one place, reducing manual follow-up and inventory blind spots.
  3. Improve coupon ROI โ€” Measure coupon redemptions, revenue impact, and top-performing codes to make smarter promotional decisions.
  4. Cleaner sub-module structure โ€” 37 widgets are now grouped under Appointments for Meetings / Services / Rentals, making the widget library easier to navigate as it grows.

โญ๏ธ What's Next?
