First, make sure you select the social accounts you want to work with by clicking on them. Now, go to the Composer and create your post.

If you want it to include a link, just type or paste the URL into the Composer’s text box. Postcron will automatically embed its information into your post.

In case you want to schedule photos, click on the image icon and select the files or simply drag and drop them into the Composer.

Scheduling native videos work quite similarly, just click on the video icon and select the files or simply drag and drop them into the Composer.

You can also access the Content Gallery directly from the Composer. Simply click on the arrow icon and select the best option to find the content you need.

Once your post is ready, it’s time to set its publishing date and time. On the Composer you'll find three scheduling options: Post Now, Schedule, and Predefined Times.

The Post Now option posts your content right away as if you were posting directly from the social network. This option is a Premium feature, only available for Premium plans. If you select more than one social account, you'll be able to post the same content to all of them simultaneously. Please note that in this case, the Delay between posts function is added to reduce the risk of your posts being marked as Spam.

The Schedule option, on the other hand, allows you to schedule your post for the day and time you want.

The Predefined Times will schedule your post on the first predefined publishing time slot available on the selected social accounts. If you schedule another post, it will be then scheduled to the upcoming available slot, and so on.
