Asana is more than a project management software

Is Asana a good tool for managing social content?

For several years now, Asana has been known as an essential tool for companies wishing to collaboratively track their projects.
Asana has evolved over the years and with new technologies, most recently AI.

But is Asana locked into its image as “project management software”, or can it be used to manage social content, for example?

Let's take a look.

1. How can I manage my social content in Asana?

Managing your social content on Asana depends above all on your ability to organize yourself in Asana.
Then, if you've been working with several people for some time, the big advantage lies in collaboration.

For example, you can manage content approval stages and automate content management using rules. In fact, the strength of a tool like Asana is that it's fairly standard and versatile.

It allows you to work with your teams on different themes.

🔥 Social content calendar

Imagine you're managing a communications team with several community managers.You create sections tailored to managing your content, for example :
- Ideas
- Content to create
- Content to validate
- To post
- Posted

With this organization, you can be sure of validating all the content that comes out of Asana.

You can also anticipate your publications weeks in advance. It's less stressful and leaves more room for imagination.

Here's an example of a content calendar on Asana:

🔥 Content iteration

Create as many tasks as you need to iterate.

The most important thing is to define content creation rules. The tool won't do it for you.Make sure you're organized and disciplined before you create your content, alone or with others on Asana.

Also, make sure you keep these internally defined rules in one place (in a project description or in a task called “Reference”).

Also, set limits via rules and workflows.

Asana lets you do it, so make the most of it.

🔥 Collaboration

Creating content alone isn't worth much, and it's especially risky.
Corporate communications can't be entrusted to just one person.

It requires the support and ideas of several collaborators to ensure that the content reflects the company's values.Just because a company has a communications manager doesn't mean he or she has to write all the content.This is where collaboration comes into its own.

Share this project with the right people, and you'll see that your content will be more relevant, and that the production of that content will be more efficient.

2. How do I publish on my networks?

Like all Asana users, you're stuck at this final stage.

What happens in virtually every company is that a little hand copies and pastes content between Asana and the various social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, etc).

But that was before sociana.

🔥 sociana tip

With Sociana, you can connect editorial tasks to your social accounts. Once posts have been drafted and approved, they are scheduled for automatic publication, with no further intervention required. This allows you to concentrate on the essentials, while ensuring regular distribution of your content.

3. Install the sociana. application

To take full advantage of these tips, you need to install sociana (from the Asana store).

This application lets you publish directly from Asana to your social networks, eliminating the need for intermediate tools like Zapier.

Installation is quick and easy !

Some questions, some answers

What's the difference between sociana and Zapier

Here are the main differences between Sociana and Zapier:

- Zapier requires the use of a third-party tool such as Buffer, Hubspot, Agorapulse, etc., which increases costs considerably.

- Zapier requires you to exit Asana to manage your posts in the third-party tool

- Zapier doesn't allow you to centralize post management in Asana, which lowers security and makes it more complex to publish on different social networks

sociana lets you stay completely in Asana to manage your social networks. No need to automate tasks or know the no-code. It's all made easy!

Which networks are available?

sociana allows you to connect the following networks to your Asana projects:

- LinkedIn (available)
- Facebook (soon)
- Instagram (soon)
- X (Twitter) (soon)
- Threads (soon)

What's the difference between sociana and Buffer?

You can't use Buffer without leaving Asana.

This forces you either to go through an automation tool like Zapier, or to manage everything in Buffer.
This means you have to pay for another tool and set up a tool from scratch.

Whereas with sociana, you keep control of Asana and your rules and user rights are preserved.

Do I need technical skills to configure sociana?

No skills are required to install sociana in Asana.
Just add the Sociana application to your project, and you're on your way.

All you have to do is connect your Asana account and then your social accounts, and then each task is transformed into a potential post.
