First post is the hardest. Once you've shipped one, the next 100 take 30 seconds each.
Here's the 3-minute walkthrough — from blank Composer to scheduled post.
Manva → Composer (top nav) → + New Post. The Composer opens with three columns: image, caption, channels & time.
Drop an image from your phone or pick from Manva's library. AI image generation is also available — describe the visual in one sentence.
Click Generate caption. Pick:
- Tone — uses your Brand DNA by default
- Language — Hindi, Hinglish, English, Tamil, Telugu, +6 more
- Length — short / standard / long
3 seconds → 3 caption variants. Pick one, edit if you want, move on.
Toggle the channels you want: Instagram (feed/Reel/Story), Facebook, WhatsApp Business, Telegram, LinkedIn, X. The composer auto-formats per channel.
Time options:
- Now — publishes within 30 seconds
- IST peak — Manva picks the best slot for your audience based on past engagement
- Custom — pick any date + time
If approval flow is on, the post goes to your reviewer. If not, click Schedule post.
Confirmation toast appears, post lands on the Calendar at the chosen slot. Edit, reschedule or delete from there.
Connect Instagram + Facebook first
Manva publishes via Meta's Graph API once you've completed the 5-min connection. After that, every post is one click.
Connect IG + FBPlan a whole week in 25 minutes
Once post #1 is shipped, batch-plan the week:
- Sunday evening — open Composer, queue 7 posts (Mon-Sun) in one session.
- Mix: 3 product, 1 educational, 1 social proof, 1 BTS, 1 Reel.
- Use hashtag research for IG posts; Manva auto-suggests 15-20 per post.
- Stories — schedule daily polls + restock alerts in the same session.
- Walk away — Manva publishes on time without you touching anything.
Time spent: ~25 min/week. Compare to 25 min/day if you post manually. The weekly batch is the move.
