The top of your SocialBee Dashboard features three widgets that give you an instant overview of your daily activity, your content distribution across categories, and the time you're saving by using SocialBee:

• Today in Your Socials
• Category Content Overview
• Time Saved with SocialBee

1. Today in Your Socials

The Today in Your Socials widget gives you an instant, at-a-glance view of your daily post activity for any connected social media profile. Instead of navigating across different sections to check what's happening today, this widget surfaces the key numbers in one place, refreshed every time you open the Dashboard.

What Does the Widget Show?

The widget always displays today's date in the format Today, DD MMMM (e.g., "Today, 17 March"), which updates automatically at midnight based on your timezone.

For the selected social media profile, you'll see the following activity counts:

💡 All three widgets reflect today's activity only, based on your timezone. Data is refreshed every time you enter the Dashboard.

Refreshing the Widget

If you create a post directly from the Post Editor on the Dashboard and want the widget counts to reflect that new post right away, without reloading the entire page, you can use the refresh button on the widget itself.

Filtering by Social Profile

The widget shows activity for one social media profile at a time. 

Use the profile selector at the top of the widget to switch between your connected accounts.

2. Category Content Overview

The Category Content Overview widget gives you a quick view of how many posts you have in each of your content categories, making it easy to spot gaps and keep your content mix balanced. 

When a category is empty, the widget lets you generate AI-powered posts for it directly from the Dashboard.

What Does the Widget Show?

The widget lists all your content categories along with the number of posts in each one (counting both approved and unapproved posts). Categories are sorted alphabetically.

📝 "Content without a category" is not included in this widget.

When one or more categories are empty, the widget highlights them and offers you a Generate content button to fill them with AI-created posts.

Widget States

The widget adapts to your account setup and content situation. Here's what you'll see in each case:

1. No social accounts connected yet: "You haven't connected any social accounts yet" Connecting a social account is the first step to unlocking SocialBee's features. Click Connect accounts to go to your Social Accounts page and add your first profile.
2. No content categories created yet: "You haven't created any content categories yet" Setting up categories helps organise your content and gives you a clear view of how it's distributed across topics. Click Create categories to head to the Categories page and set them up.
3. One empty category: The widget shows post counts for all your categories and highlights the empty one. Click Generate content to open the content generation flow for that category (the category is pre-selected automatically).
4. Multiple empty categories: The widget shows post counts for all categories and displays "Some of your categories are empty." Click Generate content to choose which empty category you'd like to fill and then generate posts for it.
5. All categories are empty: The widget shows all categories with 0 posts and displays "All of your categories are empty." Click Generate content to select a category and start generating content.

Generating Content for an Empty Category

When you click Generate content, SocialBee walks you through a quick setup before creating your posts.

1. Select social accounts (and category, if needed): 

Choose the social media accounts you want to generate content for.

•  If you have multiple empty categories, you'll also select which category to fill in this step. The button is disabled until at least one social account (and category, if applicable) has been selected.
• At the top of this dialog you'll see: "Content will be generated based on your website information from Copilot." This confirms that your Copilot brand details will be used to tailor the generated posts.

2. Review generated posts: 

SocialBee generates 6 posts, each with text and an image. Post text appears first; images are generated in the background and display with a loading indicator while they're being created. 

• Check the posts you want to keep; only checked posts will be saved.
• The Save posts in category button stays disabled until at least one post is checked and all images have finished generating. This ensures you always save complete posts.

3. Click Save posts in category to save your selected posts as drafts in the chosen category. Once saved, you'll see a confirmation message with a direct link to view the posts in that category.

Copilot Setup Requirement

The content generator uses your Copilot business information, specifically your Business Website and Business Info, to create relevant, on-brand posts.

If your Copilot setup is incomplete, clicking Generate content will show a prompt asking you to finish setting up Copilot first. Click Set up Copilot to go directly to the Copilot setup page.

The more complete your Copilot profile is, the more relevant and brand-accurate your generated posts will be.

3. Time Saved with SocialBee

The Time Saved with SocialBee widget calculates and displays how many hours you've saved over the past 30 days by using SocialBee to create posts, schedule and publish content, manage engagement, and track analytics.

What Does the Widget Show?

The widget has two states depending on your activity in the past 30 days.

When you don't have activity data The widget displays the total hours you could save in 30 days, based on average SocialBee user activity.

When you have activity data The widget displays the total hours you've saved in the past 30 days, broken down by activity type:

• Content created — time saved by drafting and generating posts in SocialBee
• Published — time saved by automated scheduling and publishing
• Analytics — time saved by tracking performance in one place
• Engage — time saved by managing comments and interactions from SocialBee
