Check the Allow social posts to be associated with this campaign checkbox.
Click Save Changes.
In SharpSpring's top toolbar, click
New > Social Post.
Create your post.
Click the Campaign icon.
Enter the name of your campaign.
Click Submit.

Important: Links in social posts must have one of the following at the start of a link to allow them to be associated with campaigns:
• https://
• http://
• www.

When leads click the link in that social media post, they will be added to the campaign that was selected for that post.
