## Messages to send Mindie
- A posting rhythm: "Every Wednesday at 12pm remind me to post on Instagram"
- With the idea attached: "Remind me on Thursday at 6pm to post the behind-the-scenes photo from the shop refit"
- A daily posting habit: "Track a daily habit: post on LinkedIn, check in with me at 8:30am"

A social media post reminder on WhatsApp is a message on the days you planned to post, ideally with the idea already in it. With Mindie you set the rhythm once: "every Wednesday at 12pm remind me to post on Instagram". It comes back every week until you stop it.

Most accounts go quiet not because the owner ran out of ideas, but because posting was never on the calendar. A busy week turns into a silent month.

## When to be reminded

- **At the time your audience is online,** so you post when it counts.
- **The day before,** if a post needs a photo or a graphic made first.
- **On launch or event days,** for posts tied to a date.

## Why posting slips

- **No fixed slot.** "I'll post when I have time" means not posting.
- **Ideas disappear.** The good one you had on the train is gone by noon.
- **It feels optional.** Unlike a client deadline, nobody chases you for a missed post.

## Habits that help

- **Keep an ideas list.** Add to it whenever something comes up, then pick from it on posting days.
- **Put the idea in the reminder.** "Post the shop refit photo" is faster to act on than "post something".
- **Track it as a habit.** A streak makes a skipped day easier to notice.

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Send your posting day and time,** or a one-off reminder with the post idea.
2. **Mindie confirms** the schedule, like "Every Wednesday at 12:00 pm: post on Instagram".
3. **Each week it messages you,** and you reply "done" once it's up.

Send a screenshot of a post you want to recreate and Mindie can turn it into a note or a reminder.

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't post or schedule posts.** It has no access to your social accounts.
- **It doesn't write your captions** or track likes and reach.
- **It only messages you,** never your followers or your team.

## FAQ

### Can Mindie post for me?
No. Mindie doesn't connect to social media accounts. It reminds you to post; you publish it yourself.

### Can I keep a list of post ideas?
Yes. Send "add to post ideas: customer story from Emma" whenever one comes up, and ask for the list when it's time to post.

### Can it track whether I'm posting consistently?
Yes. Set posting as a daily habit and Mindie checks in each day and keeps your streak.

### Can I have different reminders for different platforms?
Yes. Name the platform in each one, like "Tuesday at 9am: LinkedIn post" and "Friday at noon: Instagram".

### Can I save a post idea by voice?
Yes. Send a voice note when the idea comes up, and Mindie saves the text to your ideas list.
