Queue and Slots

Managing Queue and Slots

Section titled “Managing Queue and Slots”

The Queue is your central view of all scheduled content waiting to be published, while Slots (Publishing Schedules) allow you to define recurring times for automated posting. Together, they ensure your content is delivered consistently without manual intervention for every post.

  • Daily: Posts at the same time every day (e.g., 9:00 AM).

  • Weekends: Posts Saturday and Sunday at a specific time.
  • Custom: Use a CRON expression for advanced schedules (e.g., specific days of the week).
