Will anything be posted without me seeing it?

No. Every post is sent to your WhatsApp first and only goes out after you reply "approve" with its number, or "approve all". A post you never approve is never published.

How do I approve or change a post?

Reply on WhatsApp with the post's number: "approve 12", "approve all", "post 12 now", "skip 12", or "redo 12: mention the free delivery" to get a rewritten version straight away.

Can it use my own designs?

Yes. Put a Google Drive link to your pre-designed background in the row, and optionally a reference image of the look you want. The image is made on your background with the headline you wrote, spelled exactly.

Which platforms does it post to?

X (Twitter), LinkedIn and your Facebook Page. Each gets its own version of the post, written for that platform, and the links to the live posts are saved in your sheet.

What do I need to set it up?

A Google Sheet with a "Calendar" tab, a brand-guide Google Doc, your X, LinkedIn and Facebook accounts, and your WhatsApp linked to CiraIQ. It takes about fifteen minutes.

Run your social media from a Google Sheet while you are away

Template: AI Content Calendar: Google Sheets to X, LinkedIn & Facebook, Approved on WhatsApp

Write your plan in a Google Sheet: one row per post, with the date and time, what it is about, and whether it needs an image. A day before each post, AI writes it for X, LinkedIn and Facebook in the voice of your brand guide, and for image posts designs the picture on your own pre-designed background, following a reference image from Google Drive. The draft arrives on your WhatsApp. Reply "approve 12" and it goes out at its time, "post 12 now" to publish straight away, "skip 12", or "redo 12: make it shorter" for a new version. Links to the live posts are written back into the sheet, and nothing is ever posted without your approval.

Before it runs

Make a Google Sheet with a tab named "Calendar" and these columns in row 1: ID, When, Type, Brief, Headline, Background, Reference, Status, Notes, X post, LinkedIn post, Facebook post, Image, X link, LinkedIn link, Facebook link. Add one row per post: a number in ID, the time in When written like 20/12/2026 10:00 (format that column as Plain text; posts go out on the hour), Type "Image" or "Text", what the post is about in Brief, the words for the image in Headline, Google Drive links to your pre-designed background and a reference image (image posts; the reference is optional), and Status "Scheduled". Pick the spreadsheet in "Your content calendar" and in "Update the calendar". Put the link to your brand-guide Google Doc in "Read the brand guide". Connect Google in the Drive steps, connect X, LinkedIn and your Facebook Page in their steps, tap "Connect my WhatsApp" in "You reply on WhatsApp", and turn it on. Each image post uses about 4 image credits.

BusinessAI Expense Tracker on WhatsApp + Google Sheets (No Code)Track every business expense from WhatsApp. Send a photo or PDF of a receipt, or type or say "paid 1,500 for lunch on M-Pesa", and AI logs the date, vendor, category, amount and how you paid in a Google Sheet. Receipt photos are saved to Google Drive and linked in the sheet. Every reply shows what you have spent this month, the same receipt sent twice is caught, you are warned when you pass your budget, you can ask "how much on fuel this month?", and on the 1st you get last month's report.

BusinessWhatsApp Customer Support AI Team in English and SwahiliA lead AI agent answers your customers on WhatsApp, and hands the hard parts to two specialists: a Billing expert for prices, M-Pesa payments and invoices, and a Swahili writer who words replies naturally when a customer writes in Swahili or Sheng.
