Step 1
Open the approved content item
Use the authenticated AutoPoster workspace to open the item that is ready for scheduling. Confirm that you are looking at the final reviewed version rather than an earlier draft.
Step 2
Select the destination
Choose the intended connected social account. Recheck the network, page or profile name. When a team manages several brands, the destination check is a required approval step, not a formality.
Step 3
Choose date, time and time zone
Set a publication time that matches the plan and confirm the time zone. Consider whether someone will be available to monitor the result or respond after publication. Do not infer a universal best time from a generic recommendation.
Step 4
Perform the final pre-schedule review
Read the complete post once more in context. Check facts, spelling, language, links, media rights and any network-specific requirements. If a detail cannot be verified, return the item to review instead of scheduling it.
- □ Correct content version
- □ Correct account
- □ Correct language
- □ Correct time zone
- □ Current facts and links
- □ Appropriate media
Step 5
Save the schedule and verify visibility
Save the planned time, then confirm that the item appears in the relevant schedule or job view with the expected destination and time. A missing item should be investigated before creating a duplicate.
Step 6
Monitor publication state
After the scheduled time, review the state shown by AutoPoster and, when necessary, the destination network. Pending, denied or failed states should not be counted as published content or as zero engagement. Follow the displayed error or reconnection path.
Step 7
Record what should improve
For published items, review only the metrics that are actually available from the network. Also note operational issues such as late review, unclear briefs or destination confusion. These observations can improve the next calendar cycle.
