Social Planner - Bluesky Integration

Bluesky is a decentralized social network for sharing text, images, and videos. With Patient Copilot’s Social Planner, you can connect your Bluesky account and publish without switching apps. This guide shows how to connect and start composing, scheduling, and publishing in one place. * * * ## What is Bluesky Integration? Bluesky Integration adds the fast-growing Bluesky network to Social Planner’s supported platforms. Authenticate your Bluesky handle using an app password, then create, schedule, and track Bluesky posts from the same calendar that already manages Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, TikTok, and more. * * * ## Key Benefits of Bluesky Integration - Zero context-switching: Plan, draft, and publish Bluesky posts alongside your other channels in Social Planner.

  • Faster client approvals: Route Bluesky posts through the same review/approval flow your team already uses, so nothing goes live without sign-off.
  • Fail-safe publishing: Compose within Bluesky’s limits (300 characters, up to 4 images or one video) to avoid last-minute errors and failed posts.
  • Keep a steady cadence: Batch and schedule posts for the week in minutes so Bluesky stays active even when your team is busy.
  • Fewer tools, lower cost: Skip separate Bluesky schedulers—manage everything in Patient Copilot to save money and reduce admin overhead. * * * ## Bluesky Publishing Specifications | Category | Images | Video | | --- | --- | --- | | File Types | JPEG, PNG | MP4, MOV | | Max File Size | 1 MB | 50 MB | | Max Uploads per Post | Up to 4 images | 1 video (cannot mix with images) | | Dimensions / Resolution | Standard web resolution | Recommended 480p–720p) | | Aspect Ratio | – | 16:9 or 1:1 | | Duration | – | Up to 3 minutes | | Frame Rate | – | 30–60 FPS | | Codecs | – | H.264 (video), AAC (audio) | | Other Notes | - | No custom thumbnails | * * * ## Bluesky Posting Guidelines - Tagging/Mentions: Tag users with their full handle (e.g., @name.bsky.social).
