This section provides instructions on how to view, delete, or edit posts that have been added to your Auto-Queue.

 

 

Is Auto-Queue a fit for you?

• You do not have time to queue or share posts on a weekly cadence and want to participate in social sharing.
• You are new to social media and do not understand how to share, and trust the content that your admins are creating to share on your behalf.
• You want to make sure that you are sharing important content valuable to your company.
•  
• ❌ You already have developed a habit of queuing/sharing your posts on a regular basis and prefer to manage the posts you share.

 

How Auto-Queue works

Once enabled by your admin, this feature will become available for you to toggle on if you choose. On a high level, this is what you can expect:

 

• When an admin pushes a post to users’ queues, it will go to their next available queue time.
• You will be notified when a post is added to the queue, where you can then edit the post or delete it from your queue.
• When a queued/scheduled post fails to be shared, you are sent a notification to prompt you to relink your account.

 

How to Enable Auto-Queue

Navigate to My Settings > Queue Settings.

 

Steps to Enable Auto-Queue

• Make sure at least one time slot is available.

Enable/Disable Notifications
