ChatGPT

Schedule social media posts with ChatGPT.

Install the Simplified plugin and ask ChatGPT to write, design and schedule your social posts, without opening another tab.

  • Ask once and get the caption, the graphic and the publish time back together
  • Installs like any ChatGPT plugin, then one sign-in
  • Your Brand Kit shapes every image and caption
Get Started
Your setup prompt

Read https://docs.simplified.com/setup.md and set up Simplified in this client. Reuse existing connections and skills, complete the setup steps you can perform, and guide me through sign-in when needed. Verify access without creating content or spending credits.

  1. Copy the prompt (the Add to ChatGPT button does it too).
  2. Open a new chat in ChatGPT and paste it.
  3. Send it. ChatGPT sets up Simplified and walks you through sign-in.
Or install the plugin
Connect

Add Simplified to ChatGPT in about a minute.

Simplified is a ChatGPT plugin, so setup works like any other plugin: install it, connect your Simplified account, and run one read-only check. Some accounts call plugins "Apps".

1

Install the plugin.

Open the Simplified plugin, or go to Settings, then Plugins, and choose Install plugin.

2

Connect your account.

Choose Connect and sign in to Simplified when asked. There is no password or key to paste into the chat.

3

Check it, then ask.

Start a chat, pick Simplified from the plus menu or type @, and ask it to find your workspace and list your teamspaces. Then ask for your first post.

Every channel you post to, one plugin away.

Once Simplified is connected, ChatGPT can reach the social accounts in your workspace. You do not set each platform up in ChatGPT, because they are already linked in Simplified.

What changes when ChatGPT can use Simplified

ChatGPT is already where you brainstorm. The plugin lets the same chat finish the job.

Brainstorm and produce in one thread

Talk through the idea, then say "make it". The caption, the graphic and the schedule come from the same conversation you were already having.

Each post fits its platform

One idea becomes a LinkedIn post, an Instagram caption and a short video script, each sized for where it is going.

Graphics that look like your brand

Images and video use the colors, fonts and logo from your Brand Kit, so nothing needs a second pass in a design tool.

From blog post to a week of posts

Paste a draft or ask ChatGPT to write one in your voice, add a cover image, then split it into posts for every channel.

See the week before it goes out

Ask for a content calendar, move a post from Tuesday to Thursday, swap Instagram for TikTok. Every edit is a plain sentence.

Ask how the last month went

Pull post and account analytics across platforms and ask what to repeat. No exporting reports.

You decide what goes live

ChatGPT shows its own approval prompts when it uses Simplified. Want to review first? Ask for drafts and approve them when you are ready.

What does the Simplified plugin do for ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is good at the thinking and the words. On its own it cannot design a graphic in your brand colors, keep a content calendar or publish to Instagram. The plugin hands those jobs to Simplified, and you keep working in the same chat.

You sign in with your Simplified account. No key to copy and nothing to run on your computer.

  1. ChatGPT plans and writes

    Ideas, captions, hooks, blog drafts and all the back and forth.

  2. Simplified designs and posts

    Images and video in your Brand Kit, the calendar, scheduling to 13 platforms and analytics.

  3. You stay in charge

    Follow ChatGPT's approval prompts, or ask for drafts and approve them yourself.

What is the Simplified plugin for ChatGPT?

It is a plugin you install from ChatGPT, like any other. Install it, connect your Simplified account, and it shows up in the plus menu or when you type @. Some accounts call plugins "Apps", so look for either word.

Under the hood it is a hosted MCP server, the open standard that lets an assistant use outside tools. You never run it yourself. If your workspace is managed, an admin may need to switch plugins on first.

Which ChatGPT route do I use?

A few things in ChatGPT look alike. Here is how they differ.

The plugin (this page)

Install Simplified from the Plugins list, connect your account and mention it in a chat. This is the route for most people.

A custom MCP app

For organizations that manage their own connection. You point ChatGPT at the server URL yourself, so use it when your admin asks for it.

Codex

Codex is OpenAI's coding agent for the terminal and your editor. It connects with two commands and has its own page.

Claude

Using Claude instead? It adds Simplified as a custom connector and has its own guide.

If ChatGPT is not using Simplified

Simplified is installed but ChatGPT cannot use it

Installing and signing in are two separate steps. Open Settings, then Plugins, choose Simplified and select Connect. Sign in with a Simplified account that can reach your workspace.

I do not see Simplified in my chat

Start a new chat, then pick Simplified from the plus menu or type @ and its name. Some accounts call plugins "Apps", so look there if you do not see Plugins in Settings.

ChatGPT cannot see my channels

Connect your social accounts in Simplified first. An empty list does not mean the connection failed: it usually means no accounts are linked to that workspace yet. Also check that you picked the right teamspace.

I cannot install the plugin

If your organization manages ChatGPT, an admin may need to turn plugins on for your workspace first. Ask them to enable Simplified, then try the install again.

Questions before you connect

And some things you'd ask us.

How do I add Simplified to ChatGPT?

Open the Simplified plugin in ChatGPT, or go to Settings, then Plugins, and choose Install plugin. Select Connect, sign in to Simplified, then start a chat and pick Simplified from the plus menu or type @. Some accounts show Apps instead of Plugins.

Open the Simplified plugin

Can ChatGPT really post to Instagram and LinkedIn for me?

Yes. Once the plugin is connected, ChatGPT can draft, schedule and publish to the 13 platforms linked in your Simplified workspace: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, X, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Reddit and Telegram. It reaches only the accounts you have already connected.

Can it make the images and video too?

Yes. Simplified generates images and video from a prompt and applies the colors, fonts and logo from your Brand Kit. ChatGPT can also write the blog post or caption that a graphic belongs to, so the pair arrives together.

Which ChatGPT plans can use it?

Plugin availability depends on your ChatGPT plan and, in a managed workspace, on whether an admin has turned plugins on. Check Settings, then Plugins, to see what your account offers. Plans change, so ChatGPT is the best place to confirm.

Will ChatGPT publish without asking me?

ChatGPT shows its own approval prompts when a tool takes an action, so follow those. If you would rather review everything yourself, ask for drafts and approve them when you are ready.

Do I need to be technical to set this up?

No. You install a plugin and sign in. The commands and config files you may see on the other assistant pages are for coding agents, and ChatGPT needs none of them.

Why does ChatGPT call it a plugin, an app or a connector?

OpenAI has used all three words as the feature has changed. In practice they point at the same place: the list where you add tools to ChatGPT. Look for Plugins, or Apps if your account uses that name, in Settings.

Does it use my brand colors, fonts and logo?

It uses the Brand Kit saved in your Simplified workspace. Set it up once and every graphic and caption ChatGPT asks for starts from the same colors, fonts and voice.

ChatGPT does not show the Simplified tools. What should I check?

Check that the plugin is installed and connected, since those are separate steps. Then start a new chat, pick Simplified from the plus menu and ask it to find your workspace and list your teamspaces. If the list of accounts is empty, connect your social accounts in Simplified first.

Is this the same as Codex or the setup on the developer page?

It is the same connector with a different front door. This page is for ChatGPT, the chat assistant. Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and other coding tools have their own steps on the developer setup page.
