Share a product on Bluesky
Share a live product from ArtDrop’s web app. Review your caption and image, then publish when ready or pick a date and time.
Connect your Bluesky profile
Open Social Publishing in the web app and choose Open Social Studio. Enter your Bluesky handle and choose Connect Bluesky. Sign in on Bluesky’s page, approve the connection, then select your profile and choose Finish connection in ArtDrop.
Choose a live product
Choose a product from the list. ArtDrop shows products whose public listing and image it has verified. Use Open live listing to check the product page. Under Destination, select your Bluesky profile.
Write the post and choose a time
Choose Write my own post to write the caption yourself, or Draft from my copy settings to have ArtDrop draft it. Include the product URL in the caption if you want a link, and add an image description for people using screen readers. Choose Publish when ready, or choose Schedule for later and enter the date and time.
Review and schedule
Choose Create draft. Read the caption and check the image, link, date, time and timezone. If you edit the post, choose Save changes and review. When it is ready, choose Schedule reviewed post. ArtDrop’s web app keeps the schedule after you close your browser.
Refresh a connection
If your account shows Expired, choose Refresh connection. When it shows Connected, you can select it for a new post. If the refresh fails, reconnect through Bluesky’s sign-in page.
Check or stop a post
Use Refresh under Scheduled and recent to check progress. Open your Bluesky profile to see a published post.
Use Cancel on a post that is still waiting to send. A post already published must be managed on Bluesky.
Use Disconnect beside the account to stop further posting from ArtDrop. If ArtDrop asks you to finish revoking access in your social account settings, follow that instruction in Bluesky.
An older local connection
If you created a Bluesky app password for an older local setup and no longer need it, delete it in Bluesky. The web connection in this guide uses Bluesky’s sign-in page.
