Zift123 makes it easy for you to create and maintain a powerful and consistent social media presence, with very little cost or effort.

A simple online dashboard coupled with a fully automated delivery infrastructure lets you manage your social presence across today’s most popular platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and WeChat.

Get direct access to an entire library of relevant content you can use to build awareness, develop online communities, and nurture interactive relationships.

With the Zift platform, you can schedule and publish your own posts across all of your linked social media platforms.

Tips for creating your own posts:

  • Twitter - We will follow Twitter guidelines that include the following:
  • LinkedIn - LinkedIn rejects social posts containing links that use any of the following characters: {  }  | \  ^  `
  • WeChat - WeChat has the following guidelines.
    • Zift will support the article broadcast message type.
    • Users can publish WeChat's broadcast allotment of one broadcast message per day for a subscription account: four messages per month for a service account. Any additional posts will appear in Post History with an error message.
    • WeChat does not support links out from posts, so you will not be able to use Social Forms.
  • Social media posts that you create do not require approval.
