# Schedule Social Media Posts with Cue

Cue (always-on agent by Manus)

Guide: https://lots.social/agents/cue

Give your Cue agent responsibility for your social media. Connect it to the LotsSocial REST API to save drafts, schedule posts across 12 platforms and check results.

Example workflow: Your responsibility is to prepare social drafts from my approved updates. Save drafts in LotsSocial, send me the list and schedule only after I approve.

**Connect from the agent’s computer.** Give Cue the LotsSocial API reference and configure your key privately for its computer. Start by asking it to list the accounts you have connected.

**Use the published tool interface.** Ask Cue to use the REST API for your posts and media. Each request signs in with your LotsSocial API key; your social-network passwords stay with their own authorization pages.

**Give the agent a clear boundary.** Once connected, define its source material and responsibility. Ask for drafts as the deliverable until you approve a publication schedule.

### How do I connect Cue to LotsSocial?

Use the LotsSocial REST API from Cue’s computer. Create an API key in the Lots API dashboard, configure it privately for the task and share https://lots.social/api.md with your agent. Ask it to list your connected accounts, then save a draft.

### Can I connect LotsSocial to Cue today?

Use the REST API from your Cue agent’s computer, following the setup below. Create a LotsSocial API key, configure it privately for the agent and share the API reference. Then ask Cue to list your accounts and save a draft.

### Which social platforms can Cue schedule posts to through LotsSocial?

Once a compatible connection has write access, LotsSocial provides publishing and scheduling for 12 networks: LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Business, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon. Connect your accounts first. Formats, media requirements and available analytics vary by platform.

### Can Cue save social posts as drafts before scheduling?

Yes, through a compatible connection with write tools. Ask for drafts explicitly and review the captions, media and accounts. Drafts remain unscheduled until you ask to schedule them; you choose when to schedule them.

### Will scheduled posts publish after I close Cue?

Once a post is successfully scheduled in LotsSocial, its publishing queue handles delivery at the chosen time even when your agent is closed. Creating new drafts or running a recurring brief still requires your agent. Check post status for platform rejections or failed deliveries.

### Do I need a subscription to use LotsSocial with Cue?

No LotsSocial subscription is required. Pick a plan for a fixed monthly price, or pay per connected account with credits, charged daily. Eligible new users receive free starter credits with no card required, valid for 90 days. Media storage is free and purchased credits never expire. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate. Current rates are on the LotsSocial pricing page.

### Can Cue manage multiple brands with LotsSocial?

Through a compatible connection, your agent can work with brands and their connected accounts inside a workspace. Separate businesses can have separate workspaces. Brands, workspaces, posts and team members are unlimited; connected accounts are covered by your plan or funded with credits.

### Cue cannot authenticate to LotsSocial

Check that the API key is available on the computer doing the task. LotsSocial API requests use an Authorization header containing Bearer followed by a space and the key.

### How do I set up a recurring posting routine in Cue?

Set the routine on the Cue agent responsible for your social media. Include the source material and ask for saved drafts. LotsSocial publishes the posts that Cue successfully schedules.
