Planable Release Notes

Planable now supports Facebook Stories! Create, schedule, approve, and publish photo and video stories to your Facebook pages, right alongside Instagram Stories.

Build a story once and publish it to Facebook and Instagram at the same time. Design it on a single canvas, and Planable sends it to both channels.

Just like for Instagram, you can switch between two ways to publish:

• Direct Publish sends the story out automatically at the scheduled time.
• If you want to add stickers, music, or other widgets, use Publish via Mobile (the same option you already know from Instagram Stories) and Planable will notify you when it's time to post so you can add them yourself.

Stories run through the same approval and scheduling flow as your other posts, and the full experience, including bulk stories, is available.

Tag people in your LinkedIn posts by publishing them straight from the Planable mobile app.

• LinkedIn's API only tags people when their privacy settings line up, so you might not always see the profiles you're looking for. Publishing from the app gets around that.
• Turn it on for a whole page or a single post — Planable sends a push notification when the post is due, you open LinkedIn, tag, publish, then tap "Mark as Published."

Works for personal profiles and company pages, across text, images, GIFs, video, and PDF carousels.

Make sure you have the latest version of the mobile app.

The new Competitors tab in Analytics lets you track up to 5 Facebook and Instagram competitors per page and benchmark their performance against your own, so you can see exactly where you stand.

Data syncs daily and lives alongside your analytics, making competitor monitoring part of your regular workflow.

Here's what you'll find:

• Quick comparison table: compare followers, posting activity, and engagement side by side, including period-over-period changes.
• Metric trend chart: track follower growth and engagement over time for your page and your competitors in a single chart.
• Top competitor posts: discover your competitors' best-performing content based on engagement and identify what's working in your niche.
• CSV export: download the full dataset, including competitor metrics and top-performing posts, for reporting and deeper analysis.

Add competitors using a profile handle or URL, and the first sync will complete in about a minute.

Planable's AI now writes in your brand's voice!

Brand context is a new section in workspace settings where you define your Tone of Voice, Brand Values, Approved Terminology, and Audience. Once filled in, Planable's AI reads it automatically every time you Generate, Rewrite, or Continue a post.

No toggles. It just works.

If you manage multiple clients, each workspace has its own brand xontext so the AI adapts per client without any extra input from you.

Owners and editors can edit it. You choose whether clients can see it.

Planable now connects to AI tools like Claude and Chat GPT via MCP. Once linked, your AI can work inside Planable on your behalf — with the same permissions you have.

What you can do from your AI chat:

• Draft and organize posts across multiple workspaces without opening Planable
• Get a quick status overview — what's pending, what's stuck, what hasn't moved in weeks
• Pull performance data across clients and pages in one ask
• Create posts across channels simultaneously, with labels applied at creation

Posts created through AI are always drafts. Publishing and approvals still happen in Planable, through the same process as usual.

Available on all plans.

Add https://mcp.planable.io/mcp as a custom connector.

Here's more on how to set it up →

Planable now has a public API. Connect it to your internal tools, automation scripts, or custom workflows — and manage your Planable data programmatically.

Use it to draft and schedule posts from a CMS, sync your media library from an external asset tool, pull analytics into a custom dashboard, or keep your workspace structure in sync with how your team is organized.

Tokens are scoped to read or read/write, can be restricted to specific workspaces, and expire on your schedule. Only company owners and administrators can generate them.
