Blotato Beginner Tutorial

Summary

Sabrina Ramonov presents a complete beginner walkthrough of Blotato, an AI agent system designed to automate social media creation, scheduling, and distribution. She begins by introducing how she grew her social media presence across platforms to three million followers within two years as a solo creator with no advertising budget. The walkthrough covers setting up an account, filling out brand background questions during onboarding, and managing multiple brand kits in the interface.

Inside the workspace, Ramonov demonstrates generating draft social media posts using Blotato AI agent. She inputs a prompt requesting three posts about hiking and motivation, showing how the agent outputs drafts aligned with the selected brand kit. She demonstrates editing the text manually and using the side chat panel to instruct the agent to revise hooks to include specific numerical data. Ramonov then shows how to upload media files, such as personal photos, and prepare them for publishing across social profiles including LinkedIn and Facebook.

Next, the video covers scheduling methods. Rather than manually picking individual calendar times for every post, Ramonov demonstrates the weekly posting schedule feature. Users define recurring time slots for individual accounts, allowing new posts to be queued automatically into the next free slot. The starter plan allows connecting up to twenty social media accounts across networks including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Bluesky. Ramonov publishes a test post directly to LinkedIn and verifies its live rendering.

Moving to visual creation tools, Ramonov navigates the template library to build infographics and AI videos. She demonstrates generating a whiteboard infographic about beginner prompting tips by specifying titles, footers, and descriptions. She then creates a multi-scene AI video, selecting image generation models like Flux Schnell, adding custom scene prompts, assigning ElevenLabs voiceover scripts, adjusting captions, and exporting the final rendered video for direct social publishing.

Ramonov also details analytics tracking, the unified messaging inbox, and automated comment-to-DM workflows. The automation section demonstrates creating a trigger where any user commenting a specified keyword, such as ChatGPT, automatically receives a direct message containing a custom button and URL link. Finally, Ramonov shows how to integrate Blotato with Claude using the Model Context Protocol connector URL and an API key from settings, as well as how to import YouTube and TikTok URLs into the context sources menu to repurpose long-form material into social posts.
