Assertivlogix AI Social Publisher
Assertivlogix AI Social Publisher is a powerful, lightweight WordPress plugin that automates caption generation using OpenAI’s powerful GPT models. When you publish a post, the plugin automatically drafts tailored, platform-specific captions for LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
Rather than posting blindly, the plugin places you in full control with a preview and edit screen directly on the post editor page. You can review, refine, and publish to each platform individually with a single click.
Features
- AI Caption Generation: Automatic generation of tailored captions for LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram using OpenAI.
- Approval-First Design: No automated sharing without your approval. Edit and approve posts individually.
- AES-256-CBC Encryption: Sensitive API credentials and platform tokens are securely encrypted at rest using your WordPress site’s unique salts (
AUTH_KEY/SECURE_AUTH_KEY). - REST API Integration: Modern, asynchronous React-friendly REST API integration for a smooth, lag-free user experience in the editor.
- Activity Logs: Built-in logging system to track successful posts, API responses, and errors.

External Services
This plugin connects to several third-party external services in order to generate AI captions and publish posts to social media platforms. No data is sent to any service unless the site administrator has explicitly configured the corresponding API credentials and manually triggers the action.
OpenAI API
This plugin sends data to the OpenAI API to generate social media captions.
What data is sent: The title and an excerpt (up to 60 words) of the WordPress post being published, along with the administrator’s configured caption preferences (tone, hashtag settings). When data is sent: Only when an administrator clicks the ”Generate Captions” button or when a post is published with the auto-generate setting enabled. Service provider: OpenAI, L.L.C.
Meta Platform APIs (Facebook Graph API & Instagram Graph API)
This plugin uses the Meta Graph API to publish posts to Facebook Pages and Instagram Business/Creator accounts.
What data is sent (Facebook): The caption text, the post permalink, and (if available) the featured image URL are sent to the Facebook Graph API to create a post on the configured Facebook Page. What data is sent (Instagram): The caption text and the featured image URL are sent to the Instagram Graph API to create a media container and publish it to the configured Instagram Business account. Instagram requires an image for every post. When data is sent: Only when an administrator manually clicks the ”Post to Facebook” or ”Post to Instagram” button on the post editor screen. No data is sent automatically. Service provider: Meta Platforms, Inc.
LinkedIn API
This plugin uses the LinkedIn API to publish posts (UGC Posts) to a LinkedIn personal profile or Company Page.
What data is sent: The caption text, the post permalink, and (if available) the featured image binary are sent to the LinkedIn API to create a share post. If an image is included, it is first uploaded to LinkedIn via their asset upload flow, then attached to the post.
