6 Ways That HeyOrca Helps Krista Take Back Her Day

Krista was quickly able to learn how to schedule posts, develop an approval process, and learn new features. “It didn't take a whole lot of effort to figure out, no tutorials were required”.

Continuous Feature Updates
“I feel like every few months there's something new, which I appreciate because I didn't really get that with other platforms that I've used.”
AI Features
Being able to use HeyOrca’s AI features to write post captions and inbox message replies has also helped streamline Krista’s process. “It did a great job. I thought to myself, ‘Oh, this is much better than what I would've written.’”
Approval Features & Notifications
The ability to comment on specific planned posts, tag team members, and set custom notifications has also helped Krista and her team streamline their content approval process. “We haven’t had any issues with someone not getting emails or seeing each other’s comments, so that’s been great”, she explained.
