Calendar & Scheduling
How posts move from draft to published, and how to work in the calendar
Calendar & Scheduling
The Calendar (labeled Calendar in the sidebar, at /launches) is where you create, schedule, and review posts across all your connected channels.
Views
The calendar supports four ways to look at your posts: day, week, month, and list. Your last-used view is remembered between visits. The list view is a flat, paginated table of posts rather than a grid, and it can be filtered by status.
Post states
Every post is in one of four states:
- Draft — saved but not scheduled or sent.
- Scheduled (internally called "Queue") — has a publish date and will go out automatically.
- Published — already sent to the channel.
- Error — publishing failed and needs attention.
When creating or editing a post, you choose one of three actions: Draft (save without scheduling), Schedule (pick a date/time), or Post Now (publish immediately). The list view lets you filter posts by all, scheduled, draft, or published.
Creating and editing posts
Posts are composed per-channel — you pick which connected integrations a post goes to, and each integration can have its own content/settings within the same post group. Before a post can be scheduled or sent (i.e. any type other than draft), the server validates every channel's content: it checks that there's at least one character or image, that the content isn't over the channel's length limit, and that channel-specific settings are filled in — if anything fails, you get a specific validation error rather than a silent failure.
Other things you can do with a post:
- Duplicate an existing post — it reopens the composer pre-filled with the same content and picks a fresh available time slot.
- Find a free slot — the calendar can suggest an open posting time for you, either generally or for a specific channel, so posts don't collide with ones already scheduled.
- Drag to reschedule — moving a post to a new day/time updates its scheduled date.
- Tag posts — you can create tags and attach them to posts to organize your calendar.
- Comment on a post — posts support comments, useful for leaving notes for teammates before something goes live.
- View statistics — each post has a statistics/analytics panel; see Analytics for details.
Deleting posts
Deleting a post removes the whole post group (i.e. all per-channel copies of it), not just one channel's copy.
Where channels come from
The calendar's sidebar lists your connected channels, organized into groups (see Channels & Integrations). You add a new channel from the calendar itself via the Add Channel button.
