# Social Campaigns

## Overview

Social media is a massive part of any Omnichannel strategy. That’s why it's critical to sync your social media handles with your Marketing Engine. You can create, publish, or schedule the posts directly from the Marketing Engine to your X, Facebook, and LinkedIn business accounts all at once!

**This post type is only available for Facebook, X, and Linkedin.**&#x20;
