Getting started
- Connect the Facebook Page
- Create API keys
- Paste each key into its bot
- Approve the first schedule
- Make your first media kit
Installing copies the bots, automations, limits and rules into your workspace as drafts. No accounts, keys or data come with it. You connect each bot to Grok (or any bot that can make web requests) with its own key, and GrowthCtrl never posts for you.
