View your calendar
The Scheduler is the place where you can plan and organize your social media schedule. With three options for viewing your schedule, here’s what you can do:
- View scheduled content for the upcoming days, weeks, and months in Calendar view
- Schedule posts at a specific time in Calendar view and List view
- View already published posts (post history) in Calendar view and List view
- Set up a weekly recurrent schedule for your content categories in the Overview tab
- See posts set to draft scheduled at a specific time in Calendar view and List view
Filter your schedule
Click on the interactive screen below to see the steps.
Add a time slot
At the top of the schedule in each of the three views, you'll see a button that says "+ Add time slot". When you click on it, you'll see this window popping up:
You'll be able to choose between:
- Creating a post. This option will send you to the Post Editor where you'll be able to create a post and schedule it at a specific time or in one of your content categories. The post you add here will have a time slot that will be visible in the schedule.
- Adding a time slot for one of your categories. This will open a different pop-up that will allow you to schedule a content category for one or more of your profiles. Click on the interactive screen below to see the steps.
Calendar view
In the Calendar view, you can see and edit your scheduled posts, and add new time slots.
You can view your schedule by:
- Day
- 4 Days
- Week
- Month
To filter by date, click on the date at the top of the schedule. In the calendar that opens up, click on the date that you want to be the first day displayed.
In Calendar view, you can see your scheduled posts and the time slots where you need to add content into your categories.
When you click on a scheduled post, a window will open for a full preview.
When you click on an empty slot, the Post Editor will open to let you create a post.
List view
In List view, you can see your next posts for the upcoming week in a list format.
Overview tab
This is where you set a weekly recurring posting schedule for your content categories for each connected profile. Each week, SocialBee goes through this schedule and publishes approved content from each category.
Generate a new schedule
If you have an empty schedule, you can generate a new one, according to the best practices at the moment, by simply clicking “Generate Schedule for selected profile”.
However, keep in mind that this can only happen with SocialBee's default categories (Promotional, Our Blogs and Videos, Curated, Engaging Posts).
Another option for generating a new schedule is by using the SocialBee Copilot.
Edit an existing time slot
Click the pen icon on the time slot you want to edit. The same pop-up as before will appear for you to make changes.
Delete a time slot
There are two options to do this, but both start the same way: by clicking on the category time slot that you want to delete. Once you can see the pop-up, click on "Remove time slot".
If you want to delete a posting time completely, for all profiles, just click on "Delete" at the bottom left corner, and then once more to confirm the action.
Delete the entire schedule
If, however, you want to change your entire schedule, it might be best to delete the previous one and start from scratch. To do this, click on "Clear time slots" at the top right corner of the schedule.
