Switch from SocialBee

Switch from SocialBee to SkedCast

SocialBee’s help says exporting content is not available as a self-serve option, but its team will do it: email support with the name of the content category (or categories) and the workspace, and it sends a CSV. Its "Concierge Migration" service is for importing content INTO SocialBee, not out. Disconnecting a profile removes its posts, and its help does not state what happens to a still-scheduled post at the end of a paid term after you cancel.

What can you take with you from SocialBee?

Partial export

Scheduled posts

Not self-serve. Email [email protected] with the content category name(s) and the workspace, and SocialBee exports the content and sends it as a CSV file (a second help article names [email protected] for the same request). The article covers “content” by category and does not say scheduled posts or time slots are included. Its documented CSV import format has six columns (text, link, imageUrls, gifUrls, videoUrls, postAtSpecificTime).

Partly documented

Disconnecting or cancelling

Disconnecting a profile removes all the data related to it from SocialBee, such as posts and analytics, without deleting content already published on the network (type DISCONNECT to confirm, or set the profile to “Not Running” instead). Deleting the account means losing all your SocialBee data, including posts and schedule. Cancel from Billing Settings › Cancel products; the service stays active until the end of the billing term, and SocialBee’s help does not say what happens to a still-scheduled post after that. Pausing (1 to 3 months) stops your posting schedule. An expired free trial (14 days) stops all sharing.

How do you move from SocialBee to SkedCast?

  1. Ask SocialBee support for a CSV export. Email [email protected] with the name of each content category and the workspace. SocialBee sends the content as a CSV; check the header row, and whether scheduled times are included, when it arrives.
  2. Bulk-import the CSV into SkedCast. Upload the CSV to SkedCast’s bulk import. Every row is validated against the platform it targets, so a bad row is fixed in the import instead of failing at publish time.
  3. Reconnect each account. Connect each social account in SkedCast through its own official sign-in. Group accounts by client if you manage several.
  4. Remove the still-scheduled posts from SocialBee. Disconnecting a profile removes its posts, and pausing stops the schedule, but SocialBee’s help does not say what happens to scheduled posts at the end of a paid term after you cancel. Delete or unschedule them yourself once the SkedCast queue is confirmed, or both tools may publish the same post.
  5. Cancel SocialBee once every post is confirmed live. Cancel from Billing Settings › Cancel products; SocialBee says the service stays active until the end of your current billing term. Confirm every post is live in SkedCast first.

Switching from SocialBee: FAQ

Can I export my scheduled posts from SocialBee before switching?
Not self-serve. SocialBee’s help says to email its support team with the content category name(s) and workspace, and it sends a CSV you can bulk-import into SkedCast. Its "Concierge Migration" service is for importing content in, not exporting out.
What happens to my scheduled posts if I disconnect a profile or cancel SocialBee?

Cancelling keeps the service active to the end of your billing term, and SocialBee’s help does not say what happens to still-scheduled posts after that. Remove or unschedule them yourself once the SkedCast queue is confirmed.
