How Quick Scheduling Works
Quick Scheduling lets you create recurring weekly time slots (shown in a grey color on your Calendar) for scheduling your content. Simply drag and drop your media to the top of your calendar to bulk schedule multiple posts at once!
- Only one post can be scheduled in a single time slot
- All Quick Schedule Instagram & TikTok posts will be scheduled for Notification Publishing
- You can manually change them to Auto Publish after scheduling, if enabled
- If you add, remove, or change time slots in your Calendar, updates to the time slots will be reflected in the following weeks
- If you update a time slot that has a scheduled post in it, the scheduled post’s date and time won’t be updated; only the time slot itself will be updated
- You can use your Calendar or Visual Instagram Planner to Quick Schedule your Instagram posts
