Per-Platform Post Control
Your mix, your rules
Choose exactly how many posts to generate for each platform. Stop accepting uneven AI splits that ignore where your audience actually converts; dial in Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and more with explicit counts that the generator respects.
Platform control lets you set exactly how many posts to generate per network, instead of accepting an even split the AI chose. Ask for six for LinkedIn and one for Instagram and the generator respects those counts, so output matches where your audience actually is.
What is Per-Platform Post Control?
Per-Platform Post Control is how you steer generative workflows without writing a novel of instructions. Instead of hoping the model guesses a sensible split, you assign concrete numbers: more depth where your funnel is strongest, lighter touch where you are still experimenting.
The result is a content batch that mirrors your strategy, not a random scatterplot of posts that happens to add up to ten. It pairs especially well with multi-channel brands and agencies juggling different client priorities on the same calendar.
How it works
When you generate posts, Content Drifter reads your per-platform targets as hard constraints, not soft suggestions.
For example, you might set three posts for Instagram to feed the grid, two for X for timely takes, five for LinkedIn for thought leadership, and leave other networks at zero until you are ready to expand.
The AI generates within those buckets; tone and format still adapt per network, so your distribution matches the plan before anyone edits a caption. Adjust counts anytime; the next run reflects the new balance immediately.
Key benefits
Marketing is allocation. When generation respects your allocation, reporting and intuition finally agree.
- Precise content distribution across channels instead of one-size-fits-all batch sizes.
- Budget your posts strategically toward launches, hiring pushes, or seasonal campaigns.
- Focus on platforms that matter most while deprioritizing networks you are merely maintaining.
How to use
You do not need a spreadsheet sidecar; controls live beside the generator where you already work.
- Open the content generator from your workspace tools or campaign flow.
- Set your total posts (or let the tool derive it from your per-platform sum).
- Assign per-platform counts using the sliders or numeric inputs for each connected channel.
- Click generate and review the batch: counts should match what you specified before edits.
Iterate quickly: tweak counts, regenerate a subset, or send individual pieces to Final Review without losing your mix settings.
Available on Starter+
Per-Platform Post Control is available on Starter, Pro, and Agency plans. Free accounts can still plan and publish manually; upgrading adds fine-grained generation controls for teams that live across multiple networks.
Combine it with Multi-Platform Publishing and Auto-Publishing for a full loop: generate with intent, approve with confidence, and ship on schedule everywhere you operate.

Layers of control per destination
A post does not go to 9 places, it goes to 21: LinkedIn takes a post, an article or a carousel, Instagram takes a post, story, reel or carousel, and each of those is validated on its own rather than against a lowest common denominator. Three layers decide what each one says, in this order: a per-platform override you wrote wins, auto-fit trims the base copy to that network's limits if you did not, and the base text is what is left. Hand-trimming one idea to nine different character limits is work the software should be doing.

Frequently asked questions
Can I choose how many posts each platform gets?
Yes, per network and per generation. The counts you set are respected exactly rather than treated as a hint, which matters when one channel carries most of your results.
Are posts rewritten per platform or copied?
Rewritten. Each platform gets copy shaped for its own conventions and limits rather than one text mirrored everywhere, which is the thing that reads as automated to both audiences and ranking systems.
Which networks can I control?
All of them. Every network is connectable on every plan including Free, so platform control applies across your whole account rather than to a paid subset.
