Auto-Schedule API Overview
Create a schedule for future posts to automatically be published.
Auto scheduling allows you to create pre-defined posting schedules. You can set up multiple schedules, each with specific posting times on chosen days.
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.
Example Auto Schedule Scenario
- Current time: Monday, 10 AM (GMT).
- You create an auto schedule for posting at 9 AM and 5 PM.
- You add three posts to this schedule.
- The system automatically schedules these posts for: Monday at 5 PM, Tuesday at 9 AM, and Tuesday at 5 PM.
Deleting a scheduled post doesn’t free up its time slot. For example, if you delete the Monday 5 PM post and add a new post to the same schedule, it will be placed in the next available slot (in this case, Wednesday at 9 AM).
