Adjust your AutoSchedule settings

This feature is available in Amplify and on mobile. Hootsuite on the web uses "recommended times" to personalize scheduling recommendations. Learn more about recommended times.

Use AutoSchedule to fill gaps in your posting schedule and keep your social presence active. AutoSchedule can pick scheduled publishing times for you. It schedules content for you using the following factors:

• Your customized AutoSchedule settings (posts per day, time frame, and days applicable).
• Your already-scheduled content for the selected social account.
• General high-engagement time periods for the social network. These are not specific to your or your audience's habits.

AutoSchedule settings apply to each social account. If AutoSchedule is set to schedule up to five posts a week, it will schedule up to five posts for each social account.

You can select different times to publish the same post on different networks. For example, if you use AutoSchedule to publish content on X and Facebook, you could schedule a post for 11:30 AM and a Facebook post for noon. Scheduled times use 5-minute increments.

View and manage your AutoScheduled posts in your content calendar. Learn more about managing your scheduled posts.
