A Bot brief with a concrete publishing handoff

01

Provide the API reference

Give your Bot the LotsSocial API documentation so it can use the published endpoints and schemas from its computer.

02

Store its API key privately

Create a LotsSocial key and use the Bot’s secure credential request. Start with a read-only billing request before creating a draft.

03

Approve the publication schedule

Tell the Bot which drafts, accounts and times you approve. LotsSocial handles delivery after the API has assigned a schedule.

What can Grok Bot do with LotsSocial?

With a compatible connection, your agent can save drafts, schedule posts with images or video, manage connected accounts and retrieve available analytics. LotsSocial handles the publishing schedule; your agent supplies the content and instructions.

Supported networks: LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Google Business, Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon. Platform-specific formats and media requirements still apply.

You need

  • Grok Bot access with computer and terminal tools
  • A LotsSocial API key, supplied through secure credential storage
  • A LotsSocial account, which is created when you first sign in. No card required.

Connect Grok Bot to LotsSocial

  1. 1

    Give Grok Bot the API reference

    Ask it to read the LotsSocial REST reference. It can use the API from its computer to save drafts, schedule posts and read results.

    https://api.lots.social/docs
  2. 2

    Create and securely supply an API key

    Create a key at api.lots.social/dashboard. Use the agent’s secure credential flow rather than putting a secret in your prompt.

  3. 3

    Start with a read-only request

    Ask Grok Bot to check your LotsSocial billing balance before creating drafts or scheduling posts.

    curl https://api.lots.social/api/v1/lotssocial/billing -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOTSSOCIAL_API_KEY"

What to ask next

  • “Read https://api.lots.social/docs and check my connected accounts”
  • “Save this announcement as a draft for X and LinkedIn”

Once connected, when you ask to connect an account, your agent gives you a link to open in your browser. Approve access on the network’s own page; the link works for an hour.

Questions

Grok Bot social media scheduling FAQ

How do I connect Grok Bot to LotsSocial?
Use the LotsSocial REST API from Grok Bot’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.
Is Grok Bot the same connection as Grok chat?
No. Grok Bot runs work on its persistent computer. Use the LotsSocial REST API from that computer with a privately configured API key. Grok Build has a separate native MCP setup.
Which social platforms can Grok Bot 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 Grok Bot 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 Grok Bot?
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 Grok Bot?
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 Grok Bot 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.
