What is social media automation?
Direct Answer
Social media automation uses software to reduce manual work in planning, creating, scheduling, publishing, or repurposing posts. Some tools only schedule content; others also generate posts.
Why This Matters
Automation can solve different problems. A business should know whether it needs publishing automation, content creation, or both.
Real-World Example
