# Dashboard scheduling

Connect social accounts and schedule posts from the CuteDyno dashboard.

The dashboard is the fastest way to publish without writing code. Connect your social accounts once, compose posts in the browser, and schedule them across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube from one place.

## 1. Sign up and open the dashboard

Create an account at [cutedyno.com/signup](https://cutedyno.com/signup). After onboarding you land on the [dashboard](/dashboard) with a default profile.

If you manage more than one brand or client, create a separate profile for each — see [Multi-brand profiles](/docs/guides/multi-brand).

## 2. Connect social accounts

Open [Connections](/dashboard/connections) and connect the platforms you publish to. CuteDyno uses OAuth, so you never enter platform passwords into CuteDyno.

Each connected account appears under the current profile. You can disconnect anytime from Connections or from the platform itself.

For the API equivalent of this step, see [Connecting accounts](/docs/guides/connecting-accounts).

## 3. Compose and schedule

Open [Publish](/dashboard/publish) to write a post. Pick one or more connected accounts, add text and media, then:

- **Save as draft** — nothing goes out until you schedule or publish
- **Schedule** — pick a date and time; CuteDyno queues it
- **Publish now** — goes out immediately

Platform-specific options (cover images, LinkedIn titles, and so on) appear when the selected accounts need them. See [Platform requirements](/docs/platforms) for specs per network.

## 4. Review and track

- [Posts](/dashboard/posts) — drafts, scheduled queue, and published history
- [Analytics](/dashboard/analytics) — views, likes, and engagement per account
- [Comments](/dashboard/comments) — reply across connected accounts

## When you want automation

The dashboard and API share the same data. Once scheduling works manually, common next steps are:

- [API quickstart](/docs/quickstart) — publish from your backend
- [MCP server](/docs/mcp) — let an AI agent publish for you
- [CLI](/docs/cli) — script recurring workflows

If you are building a product for your own customers, read [Build a platform](/docs/build-a-platform) instead.
