  1. Get Users: Use get-users-by-tenant-app to retrieve all users
  2. Get User Accounts: Use get-user-accounts with the selected user’s ID to retrieve their connected social media accounts
  3. View Profile Details (Optional): Use fetch-profiles with the account ID to get profile information
  4. Publish Content: Use publish-content with the account ID, content type, format, media URL, and title to post immediately
  5. Schedule Content: Use publish-content with the additional scheduled_for parameter to schedule posts for the future (must be at least 10 minutes ahead)
