The Apostle mobile app provides a streamlined experience for ambassadors to share, edit and upload posts. This article explains how to sign up, download the app, and start using its core features. To start using the mobile app, you’ll need to have an Apostle account. If you don’t have one yet, ask your admin to send you an invite.
Before you start
Availability: The app is available worldwide on Android (7 or higher) and iOS (11 or higher). Using older operating systems or phones might result in technical issues.
Audience: The mobile app is primarily designed for ambassadors (non-admin users) and for sharing, editing and uploading posts. Admins should use the web version to manage and schedule content.
Support: For questions or guidance, visit our knowledge base or contact our support team.
Compliance: The mobile app is fully GDPR-compliant. Your personal data, uploads, and activity are kept confidential.
How to start using the mobile app
1. Signing up
In order to gain access to the Apostle mobile app, you'll need to have an Apostle account.
Note: If you already have an Apostle account you can skip the signing up part.
Your admin will invite you via email to their team to create an account. Didn't receive an invitation? Please contact your admin first and follow these steps afterward:
Accept the invitation that you received in your mailbox by clicking Set up account.
Select Join team.
Fill in your personal information and create a password. Please note: you will need this password later to log in to our mobile application.
Select Proceed.
Use the QR-codes to download the mobile app and login.
2. Downloading and installing
After you have created an account for Apostle, you can download andlog in to the mobile app.
The mobile app is available for iOS and Android, and you can download it at one of the various app stores.
How to download the mobile app:
Open the App Store or Google Play Store and search for Apostle Connect.
Install and open the application.
Enter your email address and password you used to sign up for Apostle in the previous step.
Please note: you might encounter an empty inbox. In this case, your admin has not yet created a post for you to share. Whenever your editor does, you will be notified through a push notification and it will show up in your inbox.
⚠️ Important: You will always remain in control of your own accounts. That means you decide whether you share, edit, or delete a new suggestion in your app.
3. Key features
The app contains several key features that we'll explain in this section of the article. We'll address uploading and sharing content in more detail below.
Inbox: Here you'll find an overview of every new suggestion that has been made by your admin. Instantly share, edit, or delete posts from here.
Archive: Every post that you've shared will be automatically transferred to your archive. This allows you to come back whenever you want and re-share specific posts on other platforms.
Team Connect: In the bottom right corner, you'll see the option of Team Connect. This shows all the past activities by the rest of your team. This section displays all of the shared and uploaded posts that were suggested by the team.
Leaderboard: The leaderboard tracks the performance of your team and will show the most active ambassadors. Gain points by sharing content and uploading new items to your admin. Game on! 😉
4. Sharing content
You've officially completed the entire setup and the mobile app is ready for use. It is now up to your admin to start creating social media posts for you to share. In this chapter, we will discuss how to share incoming posts. In addition, we will address to what extent you can influence these proposed posts.
Each time your editor has created a new social media post for you, you will receive a push notification on your mobile phone. To check and share your post, please open the push notification or open our mobile application.
After opening our app, your post will appear at the top of your personal Inbox. You have two different options here: Share and Delete. If you like the post and want to share it directly? Press Share to share the post to the platform of your choice. Click the platform icons to share to that specific platform.
Don’t like the text and want to add a personal touch? Use the edit button to change the post to your liking. Please note that you can only perform textual edits, and cannot edit the included media. The edit button will appear after clicking on Share. If the post isn't relevant for you or your network, click Delete. The post will not be shared on any of your accounts and will be removed from your app.
⚠️Important: Please follow the instructions on the screen carefully. There are some differences in how to share on the various platforms. Check our more in-depth article on how to share on these platforms.
💡 Tip: We advise you to edit each post to your personal tone of voice. This will improve your online credibility and engagement, as your network can tell you've created the post yourself.
5. Uploading content
Apart from sharing content to your own personal social media accounts, the Apostle app also offers the possibility to upload content to your admin. Maybe about the event you just attended, an interesting article you came across while browsing, or a personal success that you’re celebrating today.
You can upload the photo and provide some context, and your admin will transform your upload into a professional social media post. After that, they will send it back for you and your colleagues to share on their personal accounts through our mobile app.
How to upload content via the mobile app:
Open the Apostle app and log in.
Click on the + icon at the bottom of the screen.
A text box will appear where you can type your content and give some context. In addition, you can add media to your post by clicking the photograph button.
[Optional] Turn on the Let's share immediately switch if you want to directly post this to your accounts as well as upload it to your admin for other colleagues to share.
Click Send to upload the post to your admin.
That's it! Your admin will receive the input in their dashboard and will review your post. They'll soon send the updated version back for you and your colleagues to share.
