As a rule of thumb - you should use the 160 character limits on your posts to get people to click the link and to keep your post punchy. Think of a search engine entry that you might click which basically has the Page Title as the headline click bait, its kind of the same idea.
I would keep the Max Characters field in the RSS Link field low enough to not give you too much to think about - enough to grab the URL and enough to recognise the post with, that's it. Then Change the post message to be unique punchy and relevant.
Suggest you use a URL shortener and even turn on the Shortener in the AutoList to reduce chars.
We suggest you setup a post specifically setup for LinkedIn, Facebook and GMB (Google my Business) and do a separate post-setup just for Twitter & Insta. The post can still be automated, but it needs to be structured differently - much shorter and snappier due to the character limits and requirements you have. Decide how important nor not the image is. If there is no great image, Insta is a waste of time.
You should ALWAYS create a unique message for each Auto blog post (so the post's message) rather than use the one pulled from the Post automatically. Keep the URL that's important.
I cannot seem to add an AutoList in Planning. Nothing happens when I click the menu link on the left.
This happens if you haven’t connected up any social media accounts to SMM. Your Website should also be connected first for an autolist to work. Once those accounts are connected in SMM, you’ll be able add an Autolist.
It doesn't seem to like the number of characters I am using
