How To Use The Destination Lists
By definition, “destination” refers to the place where something is to be sent. And in the topic of social media, is where you publish or share your post.
A destination List is a set of destinations. It can be comprised of different social networks such as Linkedin (walls, groups, and pages), Pinterest boards and so on that are centered on a specific market or niche you are working on. You can add as many destinations as you want in a single Destination List and use it for the Campaigns that you will be creating for the purpose of automating the posts on your selected social networks.
How to create a Destination List?
1. Go to the Publishing Campaign’s Where to publish / Destination Lists tab and click the ‘Add Destination List’ button

2. Next, think of a destination name that is identifiable to your niche
3. You may also add tags to make it easier to spot the destination list for a particular niche
4. Select the Social Profiles you want to include in your Destination List.
- For every Social Profile you’ve selected, you can pick a specific destination, such as walls, groups, pages, or boards
- For Groups, Pages/Boards, just click on the respective link, and it will open a smaller window where you can select the respective groups, pages, or boards and just close the box when you are done.

💡 Good to know:
Aside from adding a tag to your Destination List for easy access, you can check the options:
- Auto Select new groups for chosen accounts. This would automatically add newly joined groups of a particular account that is included in your Destination List. This would save you a great deal of time as compared to manually editing the list and selecting the groups.
- To unselect or uncheck groups that require admin validation for posts, just tick the associated checkbox.
- Auto Select destinations based on Tags
