# Introduction

> Everything you need to know about using TryPost to manage your social media

## What is TryPost?

TryPost is a social media scheduling platform that lets you create, schedule, and publish posts across 12 social networks from a single dashboard. It's open-source and available as a managed cloud service or self-hosted on your own infrastructure.

## Core concepts

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Posts" icon="pen-to-square" href="/knowledge-base/posts">
    The content you create and publish. Each post fans out to one platform entry per connected account, with its own status, media, and per-platform metadata.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Social Accounts" icon="share-nodes" href="/knowledge-base/social-accounts">
    Your connected social media profiles and pages. Connect once, post everywhere.

## How publishing works

<Steps>
  <Step title="You schedule a post">
    Create a post, write content for each platform, and set a date and time. The scheduler runs every minute looking for posts that are due.
  </Step>

  <Step title="TryPost publishes to each platform">
    When the scheduled time arrives, TryPost dispatches a background job for each enabled platform. Each platform is published independently — if one fails, the others still go through.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You get notified">
    After all platforms finish, you receive a notification (in-app and/or email) with the result: published, partially published, or failed.
  </Step>
</Steps>
