🔐 First Login & Account Setup

After purchasing a plan (via vendor or by paying Rippelle Resident in-world), you will receive an access key that looks like: RIP-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

  1. Go to rippelle.com
  2. Click "First time? Activate account"
  3. Enter your Second Life avatar name (exactly as it appears in-world)
  4. Enter your access key
  5. Create a password (minimum 8 characters)
  6. You're in! Welcome to your dashboard.
💡 Your access key works once only. After setting your password, use your avatar name + password to log in.

🏠 Dashboard Overview

Your dashboard is your control center. It has three main tabs:

  • Dashboard — Your brand settings, connected platforms, post history, and sub-accounts.
  • Schedule (Pro & Pro+) — Create, schedule, and manage custom posts.
  • Wallet — Your balance, subscription, auto-renew settings, brands, and transaction history.

🎨 Setting Up Your Brand

Your brand identity is used to format all your posts across platforms.

What to configure:

  • Brand name — Your shop or business name
  • Tagline — A short description (e.g. "French-style furniture for Second Life")
  • Logo URL — A direct link to your logo image (hosted on Flickr, your blog, etc.)
  • Website URL — Your blog or marketplace link
  • Brand color — Used for auto-generated images (see Smart Image Handling)
💡 You can update your brand info at any time from the Dashboard tab. Changes apply to future posts immediately.

⏸️ Pause & Activate Posting

New accounts start with posting paused. This gives you time to set up your brand, connect your sources and destinations, and make sure everything is right before going live.

  • Click ▶️ Activate in your dashboard header when you're ready to start posting.
  • Click ⏸ Pause anytime to stop all automatic and scheduled posting.
⚠️ While paused, no content will be posted — not even scheduled posts. They will wait until you activate again.

📷 Content Sources

Sources are where Rippelle pulls your content from. When you publish a new photo or blog post, Rippelle detects it automatically and distributes it to your connected platforms.

You configure your source from the Brand Configuration card on your Dashboard.

Flickr

Rippelle monitors your Flickr photostream for new uploads.

  1. In Brand Configuration, select Flickr as your source.
  2. Enter your Flickr User ID (looks like: 12345678@N00).
  3. Save. Rippelle will now check your photostream for new photos.
💡 To find your Flickr User ID, go to idGettr and paste your Flickr profile URL.

Getting your Flickr API Key

Rippelle needs a Flickr API key to read your photostream. Each user must create their own — it's free and takes just a minute.

  1. Go to Flickr App Garden — Apply for a key.
  2. Sign in with your Flickr account if needed.
  3. Choose "Apply for a Non-Commercial Key".
  4. Enter any name (e.g. Rippelle) and a short description (e.g. For use with Rippelle social media automation).
  5. Check both checkboxes and submit.
  6. Copy the Key shown on the next page (you only need the Key, not the Secret).
  7. Paste it in your Rippelle Brand Configuration under Flickr API Key.
⚠️ Each Flickr account must create its own API key. You cannot share or reuse someone else's key.

🔄 Automatic Posting

This is Rippelle's core feature — set it and forget it.

  2. Connect your destinations (Discord, Facebook, etc.).
  3. Make sure posting is activated (the ▶️ button in your dashboard header).
  4. Whenever you upload a new photo to Flickr or publish a blog post, Rippelle will detect it and post it to all your connected platforms automatically.
💡 Rippelle checks for new content regularly. New posts typically appear on your platforms within 15 minutes of publishing.

📅 Post Scheduler Pro & Pro+

Create custom posts directly from your dashboard, independently of your content source.

Creating a post

  1. Go to the Schedule tab.
  2. Write a title and description.
  3. Upload up to 4 images (paste image URLs).
  4. Select which platforms to send to (or select all).
  5. Choose a date and time (in SLT / Pacific Time).
  6. Click Schedule.

Options

  • Post Now — Skip scheduling and publish immediately (goes out within 15 minutes).
  • Save as Draft — Save your post without scheduling. Come back later to edit or publish.
  • Repeat Weekly — The post will automatically repeat every 7 days at the same time.

🖼️ Smart Image Handling

Some platforms (especially Instagram) require images. Rippelle handles this automatically:

  • If your post has no image, Rippelle generates a branded image using your brand color as background and your post title as text.
  • If the image isn't sized properly for Instagram, Rippelle creates a proper one automatically.

You can pick your brand color using the color picker on the Dashboard, in the Brand Configuration card.

💡 This only applies when needed (mainly for Instagram). If you have a proper image, it will be used as-is on all platforms.

💰 Wallet & Subscriptions

Rippelle uses a wallet system. You deposit Linden Dollars (L$) into your wallet, then manage your subscription from your dashboard.

Adding credits

  • Pay Rippelle Resident directly in Second Life (right-click → Pay → any amount).
  • Use a top-up vendor in-world.

Credits are added to your wallet automatically. Any amount that doesn't match a plan price goes directly to your wallet balance.

From the Wallet tab you can:

  • See your current balance
  • Subscribe to a plan or change plan
  • Choose a duration: 1 month, 3 months, or 12 months (2 months free!)
  • Enable auto-renewal — Rippelle deducts from your wallet automatically when your plan expires
  • Redeem a promo code — see Promo Codes
  • View your full transaction history

🎟️ Promo Codes

Promo codes give you free months of a Rippelle plan — no L$ needed. You may receive one during promotional events, from a giveaway, or from the Rippelle community.

How to redeem a promo code

  1. Log in to your Rippelle dashboard at rippelle.com.
  2. Click the 💰 Wallet button in the top bar to open the Wallet tab.
  3. Scroll down to the 🎟️ Promo Code card.
  4. Type your code in the field — it will automatically convert to uppercase.
  5. Press Apply or hit Enter.

If the code is valid, your subscription will be activated or extended immediately and you'll see a confirmation message in green.

Good to know

  • Each code can only be used once per account.
  • If you already have an active subscription, the promo months are added on top of your current expiry date — nothing is lost.
  • Some codes have an expiry date — make sure to redeem before it expires.
  • Codes are not case-sensitive — earlybird and EARLYBIRD both work.
💡 Promo codes are different from the EARLYBIRD pricing on the in-world vendors. Vendor pricing is automatic — promo codes are redeemed manually here in the dashboard.

🏷️ Multi-Brand Management Pro+ only

If you run multiple businesses or shops, you can manage them all from a single Rippelle login.

  • Each brand has its own source, destinations, and posting settings.
  • Add new brands from the Wallet tab (1,500 L$/month per brand).
  • Switch between brands from the Dashboard using the account switcher.
  • Up to 10 brands per account.

🛠️ Creator Toolbox

A suite of free image editing tools available to everyone — no subscription required.

  • Resize & Crop — Adjust images to any size or aspect ratio
  • Watermark — Add text or image watermarks
  • Text Overlay — Add titles, captions, or call-to-action text
  • Collage — Combine multiple images into one
  • Background Remover — Remove the background from an image
