In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to schedule different types of social media posts using the Social Posting tool. This feature helps you plan your content in advance and ensures consistent engagement across your social channels.
On the left sidebar, click on Social Posting. You can create three types of posts: Multimedia (texts, images and videos), CTA Posts (for Facebook only) and Carousel Posts (for Facebook).
Scheduling Multimedia Posts
Click on Multimedia Posts. Then, tap on Create New Post.
Select a type of post: Text, Link, Image / Carrousel or Video. For this tutorial, we will go with Image/Carrousel.
Select the accounts where you wish to post. At the left, you can see the Facebook accounts you have connected to the app. If you turn on the Instagram toggle, you will see the Instagram accounts as well.
Configure the post. Enter a name to identify it. Type the message you wish to post and upload the media files. Carousels accept up to 10 images or videos.
Optionally, toggle off the Post Now option to schedule the post instead. Provide a Schedule date and time, and a timezone. You can also repost it several times, simply indicate how many and select an interval.
Optionally, select an Auto Reply Template for your Instagram and Facebook accounts. This will allow you to automatically respond to comments on this post.
When ready, click on Submit. The campaign will be scheduled. You will see a Success Message.
You can check the status of the schedule on the MultiMedia Posts page. It will be set as Pending until the date and time you selected to post; after that, the status should change to Successful. In case of a problem, you will see the cause here as well.
