Run a weekly review of what worked
Ask your assistant for a weekly review. It reads your analytics and post history from Socialync, shows which platform grew, your best and weakest posts and what the best ones share, lists failures, and proposes next week's posts.
Needs a paid plan. Connect an assistant first if you have not: setup guides.
The prompt
Do my weekly review from Socialync: what grew, my top and bottom 3 posts and what they have in common, anything that failed, and 3 ideas for next week based on what worked. Use only numbers from Socialync and write "no data" where a number is missing.
Swap in your own details. Example links and names are placeholders.
What the assistant does
Each step names the Socialync tool the assistant calls. A step with no tool is the assistant's own work or yours.
- 1
Pick the brand
If you have several brands, your assistant asks which one to review, or reviews each separately.
list_profiles - 2
Pull the week
It reads the week's views, likes, comments, shares, saves and follower change, by platform, with the change against the previous week.
get_analytics - 3
Find the best and weakest posts
It reads your top posts by engagement and your most recent posts, each with a status that compares the post with your own usual on that platform. For videos on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube it also sees how long people watched.
get_top_posts - 4
Look at one post in depth
For a post that stands out, it can read the full picture: watch time, the share still watching at 3 seconds and where viewers stopped. The same post on your other platforms comes alongside.
get_post_insights - 5
Check failures and the next seven days
It reads posts that failed this week with the plain reason and the fix, and what is already scheduled for the next seven days so it can point out empty days.
get_post_historyget_scheduled_posts - 6
Write the review
You get the week in three lines, the top 3 and bottom 3 posts, failures, empty days, and three to five ideas, each tied to a top post. Every number comes from the tool results.
What you will be asked to confirm
- Nothing. The review only reads data and changes nothing.
- If you pick an idea and ask for the post, that post goes through the usual yes before it is scheduled.
Socialync tells your assistant to show you the exact post and wait for your yes in the chat before it publishes, schedules, replies or cancels anything. The publishing tools are marked as destructive, so clients that honor that also ask you to allow each call. You can switch on a confirmation dialog on the API Keys page that shows the exact post inside clients that support it. Socialync records who approved each post and when.
What you need
Plan
A paid plan (from $20 a month). Analytics are part of Socialync's paid plans. The failed post and calendar checks work on any plan.
Connected accounts
Accounts connected in Socialync for at least a few weeks, so there is something to compare.
Assistants
Claude (claude.ai, Desktop and Code), ChatGPT, Grok, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI connect to Socialync. Any other assistant that supports MCP can too. Some assistants can run a saved prompt on a schedule, such as every Monday morning. A scheduled run reads and reports only.
Example result
Illustrative example with made-up posts and numbers. It does not come from a real account, and yours will use your own content.
Part of a review
The week in three lines: views 12,400 (up 18%), engagement 3.1%, followers up 42. Instagram moved most.
Top post: Tuesday how-to Reel, Instagram, 6,200 views, status good.
What the top posts share: video, a how-to hook, posted between 6 and 8 pm.
Next week: nothing scheduled on Wednesday or Saturday.
Idea: make another how-to Reel on a topic from your Tuesday comments.
Limits that shape this recipe
- Socialync collects numbers for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and LinkedIn. X has no numbers. LinkedIn numbers can be missing until you reconnect LinkedIn in Socialync.
- Bluesky reports engagement without views. YouTube is left out of cross-platform totals and shows its own counts.
- Views, likes and comments count what was gained during the week, so a quiet week can read 0 comments even when older posts have comments.
- A post with status no_data has no numbers yet, and a post under 2 days old is not rated.
Connect your assistant first
You add Socialync once and sign in with your Socialync account. Then paste the prompt above. Setup guides:
Claude Code and other agents that load skills can use this recipe as a skill from our public repository.
