Looking to schedule one post to multiple social profiles? With Later you can schedule posts for multiple profiles at the same time, and customize the post for each. This article will show you how.
Important:
- Multi-profile scheduling can only be done in Later on the web
- Once a post has been scheduled, it can’t be added to additional social profiles
- Social profiles must be in the same Access Group to schedule to them at the same time
Step 1: Choose your Social Profiles
At the top of the Calendar select the check mark (✓) on the social profiles you’d like to schedule to.
You can select up to 6 social profiles in the same Access Group.
Step 2: Choose Your Media
From the Side Library, drag and drop the media for your post onto the Calendar.
You can select one image or video, or select multiple media items by clicking the checkmark on the media, then dragging.
Step 3: Add Your Caption
Write a caption for your post – this can be customized for each profile in the next step. You can also edit your media in this step for all profiles, or customize it for each in the next.
Click Customize Posts when you're done.
Step 4: Customize Your Post
Now you’ll customize your post for each profile. You can:
- Customize your caption and hashtags
