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.
