Auto-Schedule API Overview

Auto scheduling allows you to create pre-defined posting schedules. You can set up multiple schedules, each with specific posting times on chosen days. Auto schedule is distinct from the scheduleDate field in the /post endpoint.

​

Key Features of Auto Schedule

• Create custom schedules, e.g., post at 9 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays.
• Posts are automatically queued in the next available time slot.
• No limit on the number of schedules you can create.

• Auto schedule is distinct from the scheduleDate field in the /post endpoint and it is meant to automate scheduling. You should use either auto schedule or scheduleDate, but not both.

​

Example Auto Schedule Scenario

1. Current time: Monday, 10 AM (GMT).
2. You create an auto schedule for posting at 9 AM and 5 PM.
3. You add three posts to this schedule.
4. The system automatically schedules these posts for: Monday at 5 PM, Tuesday at 9 AM, and Tuesday at 5 PM.

Publish Using Auto Schedule

The schedule may be applied with the /post endpoint using the following fields:

"autoSchedule": {
   "schedule": true,
   "title": "Schedule Title"
}

• schedule: (required) boolean set to true

• title: (optional) string. “title” references the schedule set in the /auto-schedule/set endpoint. Default title is “default”.
