Turn every beehiiv issue into a week of social posts

Run this whenever a new post is published in my beehiiv publication. Watch beehiiv for the new post event and start from the issue that just went live.

First, use the beehiiv Get Post operation on that post, with content expansion turned on, so you get the full body of the issue along with its public web URL. If the issue is subscriber-only and has no public web version, stop right there and do nothing. There is no point scheduling social posts that point at a paywall or a dead link.

Take the issue's public web URL and run it through the Sendible Get Link Preview operation. That tells me the exact title, description, and preview image the link will actually render with when it is shared. Report that title and description back to me. If the preview image is missing, say so clearly in the notes you leave for each scheduled post, so I know to attach my own image before it goes out.

Now read the issue body properly and pull out three genuinely different angles. The first is the strongest hook or statistic in the piece. The second is a quotable line, something that stands on its own when lifted out. The third is a curiosity-driven teaser that makes someone want to click without giving away the answer. These must not be three rewordings of the same sentence. If the issue honestly only supports two distinct angles, write two rather than padding it out.

Use the Sendible Get Social Profiles operation to see which profiles I have connected, and the Sendible Get Queues operation to find my publishing queue.

Then use the Sendible Schedule Message operation once per angle to add each one to the queue. Pass the queue id and do not set a fixed send date. That is what makes Sendible space the posts out across its queue slots over several days instead of firing all three in the same minute. Send each message to the profiles that match the network you wrote that version for.

Rules for the copy. Tailor every version to the network it is going to: keep the X version under 280 characters including the link, write the LinkedIn version as a slightly longer and more professional take, and keep Facebook and Instagram conversational. Always link back to the issue's public web URL. And never state a fact, number, statistic, or quote that is not actually in the newsletter. If you cannot point to the line in the issue that supports a claim, cut the claim.

When you are done, summarize what you scheduled: each angle and its copy, which profiles and queue it went to, the link preview title and description, and whether a preview image was present.
