Create an Automated Social Post Schedule

Automating your content schedule is a great way to save time and ensure a consistent flow of new posts. You can create a schedule once and set it up to automatically pull content, making your publishing process much smoother.

This guide will show you how to:

  • Create a new schedule

  • Automate a schedule with content categories



Create a New Schedule

  1. Select the Publish tab at the top of the page.

  2. Click + Create Schedule.

  3. Choose your schedule type:

    • Weekly Schedule: Posts content consistently on a weekly basis.

    • Drip Schedule: Publishes the same content over an extended period.

  4. Enter a title for your schedule.

  5. Select the time(s) and day(s) you want your content to post. You can add more than one time slot by clicking + Add another time.

  6. Click Create Schedule.



Automate a Schedule with Categories

After you create a schedule, a new window will pop up with an option to automate it. This is the most important step for saving time with your content.

  1. When prompted, select Auto-Fill This Queue.

  2. Use the Content Tags drop-down menu to choose the tags you want your schedule to pull content from automatically.

  3. Select the social media accounts you want this schedule to post to.

    • Note: If you select Any Account, the schedule will use the social accounts designated for each individual piece of content.

  4. Click Save Settings.

You can now view your content in the queue. Your posts will be scheduled in your calendar according to your schedule's time slots. As you create new content and tag it, it will automatically be added to the appropriate "Auto-Filled" queue.


Auto-Fill an Existing Schedule

If you have a schedule you want to automate, you can do so at any time.

  1. Select the Publish tab.

  2. Under "Schedules," select Queues.

  3. Click the + button next to the schedule you want to automate.
