Social media posting automation for events

Purpose

1. Automated social media posting for events enables the archery range to systematically promote classes, tournaments, and special sessions without manual effort.

2. This automation ensures timely, error-free announcements across multiple platforms, maximizes event attendance, and reinforces the range's community presence.

3. Automating outreach guarantees consistent use of branded imagery, correct event scheduling, and targeted message delivery, driving marketing efficiency.

4. Facilitates advanced scheduling, live updates, last-minute changes, and cross-promotion campaigns without staff bottlenecks.

Trigger Conditions

1. Automated event post triggers when a new event is created in the booking system or calendar app.

2. Scheduled trigger: posts are queued and released at optimal times before event date.

3. Manual override: allows staff to push updates on-demand.

4. Automatedly checks for event updates (cancellations, reschedules) and triggers new posting sequences accordingly.

5. Triggers can be further automated based on audience engagement analytics.
