Social Rainbow
frequently asked questions.

Social Rainbow is a social publishing app for ChatGPT and a connector for Claude. It lets an authenticated user draft, validate, publish, schedule, inspect, reschedule, and cancel social posts from a conversation.

Yes. After the user adds the Social Rainbow app, signs in, and connects social accounts, ChatGPT can use Social Rainbow to prepare and publish approved posts to supported destinations.

Yes. After the user adds the Social Rainbow connector, signs in, and connects social accounts, Claude can prepare and publish approved posts through the same Social Rainbow workspace.

No new publishing dashboard is required for everyday use. Drafting, review, scheduling, and post management happen in ChatGPT or Claude. A compact account page handles connections and subscription details.

The product is commonly described as a plugin. In ChatGPT it appears as an app, and in Claude it appears as a connector. Both names refer to the same Social Rainbow publishing service.

In ChatGPT, open the app store, search for SocialRainbow, install the app, and connect your account. In Claude or Cowork, add https://app.socialrainbow.app/mcp/claude as a custom connector and authenticate. The full step-by-step guide is at https://socialrainbow.app/install.

Social Rainbow supports Instagram professional accounts, Facebook Pages, Threads profiles, LinkedIn profiles and organization Pages, X accounts, YouTube channels, and TikTok creator accounts. YouTube and TikTok each require one video per publication.

Yes. A user can select several connected destinations in one request. The assistant should prepare destination-specific versions and Social Rainbow validates each destination separately before asking for approval.

No. Instagram requires one supported image or video in Social Rainbow's current publishing flow. The assistant should keep Instagram selected and explain the missing-media requirement instead of silently removing it.

The current Facebook destination is Facebook Pages, not personal Facebook profiles. The user connects Facebook and Instagram through the Meta authorization flow.

Yes, when the connected LinkedIn account has the required organization publishing permissions. Social Rainbow also supports LinkedIn personal profiles.

Yes. Connect a YouTube channel, provide one supported video, and review the generated title, description, and public, unlisted, or private visibility before approving the upload.

Yes. Connect a TikTok creator account, provide one supported video, and review the caption, available privacy level, comments, Duet, Stitch, commercial-content, and AI-generated-content settings before approval.

Social Rainbow can validate supported follow-up sequences. Threads and X use thread-style follow-ups, while supported Facebook and LinkedIn follow-ups become top-level comments.

Link behavior differs by destination. Social Rainbow validates and normalizes link treatment for every selected account, then shows the visible result in the approval preview.

The agent should list current platform capabilities, list the user's connected accounts, prepare destination-specific content, validate the exact payload, show the complete preview, and obtain explicit approval before calling a publish or schedule action.

No. Social Rainbow derives identity and workspace authority from the verified sign-in token. Model-provided user IDs or workspace IDs are never accepted as authority.

No. A short-lived confirmation token binds the validated destinations, content, media, options, and schedule. Publishing requires explicit approval of that exact preview.

Any edit changes the approved payload. The assistant must validate the new version, show a new preview, and ask for approval again before publishing or scheduling.

The agent should use only active account IDs returned by Social Rainbow for the authenticated workspace. It must not invent an account, reuse an ID from another user, or infer a destination from free-form text alone.

The assistant should report the status returned by Social Rainbow. It must not claim a post was published or scheduled until the corresponding action succeeds.

Yes. The user provides a date, local time, and timezone. Social Rainbow validates the schedule and displays the local time, IANA timezone, and UTC offset before approval.

A local time can refer to different moments around the world and can change during daylight-saving transitions. The timezone and UTC offset make the scheduled instant unambiguous.

Yes. The assistant first retrieves the exact unpublished post and shows its current details plus the proposed new time. Social Rainbow reschedules it only after approval of that specific change.

Yes. The assistant retrieves the exact unpublished post, shows the destination, content, and time, and asks for confirmation before Social Rainbow cancels it.

No. Cancellation prevents an unpublished scheduled job from being dispatched. It does not delete content that has already been published on the social network.

Yes. Social Rainbow can list recent publications by status and retrieve the exact details of a single post, including timing, destination, result URL, or error information when available.

Yes. The ChatGPT version of Social Rainbow can copy one attached or generated image or video into durable workspace-scoped storage before validation, then use the resulting media URL in the post.

Yes, using a direct public media URL that Social Rainbow can validate for the selected destination. Claude does not currently have the same attached-file ingestion tool as the ChatGPT version.

The current launch contract accepts one media item for the root post or an eligible follow-up. The assistant should ask which file to use when several are supplied.

No. External media must be available through a direct public HTTPS URL. Webpage URLs, authenticated URLs, local paths, and temporary chat download links are not valid post media.

No. Media ingestion only stores the file and returns a durable URL. The post still has to be validated, previewed, explicitly approved, and then published or scheduled.

No. Provider access and refresh tokens stay encrypted at rest and are never returned in assistant tool results, UI resources, or logs.

The authenticated user chooses a provider and completes that provider's authorization page. The connection state is short-lived, single-use, and bound to the user's Social Rainbow workspace.

Yes. The assistant lists the connected accounts, shows the exact account selected for disconnection, and asks for confirmation before revoking the Social Rainbow connection.

Yes. Sign in with the same Social Rainbow account in each assistant to use one subscription, one set of connected social accounts, and one shared publication schedule.

Social Rainbow offers a seven-day trial followed by one $12 per month plan. A payment method is required to start the trial, and the subscription can be cancelled before renewal.

The current plan includes ChatGPT and Claude access, up to 10 connected social accounts, up to 150 published or scheduled posts per month, destination-specific drafts, and unlimited previews.
