Things to ask
What you can ask for.
Talk to Gemini the way you would to a colleague. These all work once your accounts are connected.
“Write a Facebook post about our Saturday workshop and post it to our Page after I approve it.”
“Schedule a reminder post on Instagram and Threads for Friday at 6 pm.”
“Show me what’s scheduled for next week.”
“What were our top Search Console queries in the last 28 days?”
Before anything goes out
You stay in charge.
An assistant that can post for you should be careful about it. SocialHelper builds that in, whichever assistant you use.
- It asks before posting
- SocialHelper tells every assistant that posts are public, and to confirm the text and accounts with you before it publishes.
- Checked before it’s sent
- Each post is checked against every platform’s limits first. If anything doesn’t fit, nothing goes out and the assistant sees every problem at once.
- Never posted twice
- Retries only happen when nothing was published, so a hiccup never turns into a duplicate post.
- Disconnect anytime
- Gemini appears under Connected apps on the API & MCP page. Disconnect it there and it loses access at once.
Limits
What Gemini can do.
Gemini gets 11 tools. Here’s what they cover, and what they deliberately leave out.
It can
- Post now, or schedule for later, to 12 platforms: Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok and more.
- Attach images and videos from a public link.
- Check each platform’s limits before posting, and fit the text to them.
- Edit or cancel a scheduled post before it goes out.
- Tell you whether a post went live, with its links, or why it failed.
- Read reports from Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Google Ads.
- Look up and draft content on your WordPress, WooCommerce and Ghost sites.
It can’t
- Connect or remove social accounts. You do that in the SocialHelper dashboard.
- See your API keys, invite people or change your plan.
- Reach accounts in a team you didn’t connect it to.
- Delete a post that’s already live on the platform. Cancelling stops only what hasn’t gone out.
- Upload files from your computer. Give it a public link to the image or video instead.
FAQ
Questions about Gemini.
Do I need an API key to use SocialHelper in Gemini?
No. You paste the server address, sign in to SocialHelper and pick a team. Gemini never sees a key.
Who can connect Gemini?
The team’s owner or an admin, since connecting takes permission to manage API keys. Gemini can then use every account connected to that team.
Will Gemini post without asking me?
SocialHelper tells Gemini to show you the text and the accounts and wait for your yes before it posts. Scheduled posts can still be edited or cancelled until they go out.
Which accounts can Gemini post to?
The accounts connected in the team you picked when you signed in. To use another team, connect Gemini again and pick that team.
Can Gemini read my marketing data?
Yes, once you connect those accounts. It can run reports and lookups on Google Search Console, Google Analytics and Google Ads, such as your top search queries or sessions by page.
What does it cost?
SocialHelper is free during early access. Gemini may need a particular plan of its own for custom connections; check Google’s documentation.
