Onboarding

Overview

When you first sign up, Social0 walks you through a short onboarding flow: choose a plan (or skip), pick a goal so we can tailor the experience, connect at least one social account, and you’re done. After that you land in the Dashboard and can start creating posts.

What you’ll do

1. Choose a plan - Starter, Growth, or Pro. You can pay now or click “I’ll decide later” and upgrade from Billing when you’re ready.
2. Set your goal - Tell us whether you’re building a personal brand, running a business, managing clients, or just exploring. We use this to show relevant tips and options.
3. Connect accounts - Connect one or more social accounts (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). Free allows up to 3; you need at least one to publish. You can add more later from Connections (upgrade for a higher cap).
4. You’re all set - We’ll show a short “You’re all set” (or similar) screen and send you to the Dashboard.

From there you can open the Composer and create your first post.

Optional: Connect an AI assistant

After connecting accounts and creating an API key, you can manage Social0 from Claude, Cursor, or VS Code via the MCP Server. Ask your assistant to list accounts, draft posts, or publish — no dashboard required for day-to-day posting.

Tips

• Free includes up to 3 connected accounts and 10 lifetime posts (drafts do not count). Use those limits first, then upgrade from Billing when you need more-or skip plan selection during onboarding and stay on Free until you're ready.
• If you just paid, the app may take a few seconds to recognize your new plan. Refresh if needed.

Common questions

Q: Do I have to connect an account during onboarding?
A: No. On Free you can connect up to 3 accounts during onboarding or later from Connections. Connect at least one so you can try publishing. You can add or remove accounts anytime.

Q: I chose “I’ll decide later” for the plan. Where do I upgrade?
A: Go to Dashboard → Billing and pick a plan there.
