Overview

This article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up queue settings for social media posts within a mobile app, allowing users to schedule content to be shared automatically at predefined times without manual intervention. It includes instructions for customizing queue slots for different networks, excluding specific days, and offers resources for additional support.

Information

To set up your queue settings, tap on your profile. Your queue is a set of predefined times when you would like posts to be shared out. Using your queue will allow for a steady stream of content to be shared out to your networks, without having to be logged into the platform and performing the share on your own every time.

The way it works is you set up queue slots for each network. Then, when you queue a post, it will go in the next available slot. So, if it’s 10 am on Monday morning and you are queuing content, and you have queue slots for 11am and 3pm, the first post you queue will go in that 11 am slot and be shared then, and the second post will go in the 3pm slot.

Step 1: To set up your queue settings, tap on your profile

Step 2: Accessing Settings

Once you have navigated to the appropriate screen, tap on the settings button to proceed.

Step 3: Tap 'Queue Settings'

Step 4: Setting Up Your Queue Times for Each Network

You can set up your queue differently for Twitter & LinkedIn (queueing is not currently available for Facebook due to their regulations).

To add an additional queue slot, simply click 'Add a New Time'.

If you would like queued posts to not go out on particular days (such as Saturdays and Sundays), simply unselect the Every Day option and choose which days you want your scheduled posts to go out.

If you're not sure where to start, set your queue up to post 3 times per week during weekdays (Monday-Friday).
