FoxPlug Help / Start here

Start here: sign up and make your first project

You need an email address, a Google account or a LinkedIn account. After you sign up you paste the address of your site, and FoxPlug reads it and writes your first brief and your first post for you to look at.

Where to find it: https://foxplug.com/app/ in your browser. Press Sign up on the first screen. Open it in FoxPlug

Steps

1. Open https://foxplug.com/app/ and choose how to sign up: with your email and a password, with Google, or with LinkedIn.
2. If you used email, open the message called Confirm your email to open FoxPlug and press Confirm my email. If it is not in your inbox, look in spam and promotions.
3. On the first screen FoxPlug asks where your product lives. Paste your site address, a changelog address or a GitHub repository address.
4. Press Save and read my site. It takes about 10 to 20 seconds. FoxPlug lists the pages it found and the tools it recognised on your homepage.
5. Read the first post under Your first post. It is a draft for you to read. If it is marked as needing a stronger opening, edit the first line before you use it.
6. If the first post did not get written, the screen says why in plain words and shows a Write it now button. Press it to try again.
7. Press Go to my dashboard. Your Today brief is there. Connect the tools you use later, one at a time; nothing has to be connected for the first brief.

Good to know

• The free plan has one project and up to five updates a day. See https://foxplug.com/pricing for what the paid plans add.
• Your first post is saved in Drafts either way. You can come back to it, edit it or write another version.

What it does not do

• FoxPlug never posts anything for you without your approval, including the first post.
• It never changes your site. It only reads public pages.
• It does not ask for a card to start.
