What scheduling methods does Publer support?


Publer offers 4 distinct scheduling modes to help you plan, automate, and optimize your social media content workflow:


  1. Schedule
  2. AutoSchedule
  3. Recycle
  4. Recurring


Let's dive into each of the scheduling modes:


1. Schedule


This is one of the easiest ways to schedule a post. First, let’s create one:


  • Click on the Create button on the left side. Regardless of which tab you visit, you can always open the Create composer pop-up screen.
  • Alternatively, you can click on the dates in the Upcoming posts section.


The Create a new post option will appear when you click on the dates in the Upcoming posts section.



  • Clicking on any of these options will open the composer box. Choose a social account from the left side and curate your post.
  • Once done, select Schedule from the dropdown menu.





  • Lastly, click the Schedule button.


2. AutoSchedule


Remember, you need to have a posting schedule in place before you can start auto-scheduling.


  • After you have created a posting schedule, go to the Create tab.
  • Choose the social media account you wish to publish on and customize your post as desired.
  • Select AutoSchedule from the dropdown menu.



  • Choose the label you have created on the posting schedule (optional) and specify the other AutoSchedule settings for the post.



  • Lastly, click on the Schedule button.


3. Recycle


This feature is a real time-saver. Now, you no longer need to save multiple posts repeatedly or revisit those already posted. It allows you to save posts automatically.


  • Make sure you have created a posting schedule.
  • Go to the Create tab, choose the social media account you wish to publish on, and customize your post as desired.
  • After finishing with the post creation, click on the dropdown arrow and select Recycle.



  • Specify the recycling settings and then click the Recycle button.



4. Recurring


  • Go to the Create tab.
  • Select the social accounts on the left.
  • Design your post and choose Recurring.



  • Specify the settings of the recurring post and click on Schedule.




How far ahead can you schedule posts?


You can schedule posts up to 5 years in advance using either manual scheduling or Auto-Schedule.


For recurring posts, the maximum scheduling window depends on how frequently the post repeats.


  • Daily: Up to 1 month.
  • Weekly: Up to 6 months. If the post repeats every few weeks, the limit extends accordingly. For example, a post repeating every 2 weeks can be scheduled for up to 12 months.
  • Monthly: Up to 1 year. For example, a post repeating every 2 months can be scheduled for up to 2 years.
  • Yearly: Up to 5 years. For example, a post repeating every 2 years can be scheduled for up to 10 years.


Please note: On plans other than Business, recurring posts are limited to weekly repetitions on one day of the week, for up to 1 month.


Also, each social account has a daily posting limit based on your plan. This limit determines how many posts can be published on a given day, not how far ahead you can schedule them.



Notes:


  • You need to create a posting schedule in place before you can start auto-scheduling and recycling posts.
  • Navigate to Posts > Scheduled to view all your scheduled posts. To locate a specific post, simply click on the icon of the social account on the left and choose a post from the dashboard.
  • You can modify, delete, change time & date, reuse, auto-share, recycle, etc. all the scheduled posts.
  • Each social account has a daily posting limit based on your plan. This limit affects how many posts can be published on a given day, not how far ahead you can schedule them.
