Posting Queue: Drip Posts Into Time Slots

What is the posting queue?

The posting queue lets you set your best posting times once, then just add posts to a queue. SocialCal automatically drops each queued post into your next open time slot — so you never pick a date and time per post.

Plan: The posting queue is available on the Professional and Enterprise plans.

It has two parts:

Tab	What it's for
Posting schedule	The weekly time slots each account posts at (e.g. Mon–Fri at 09:00 and 17:00) — set once
Queue	An ordered list of ready-to-go posts with no time attached

1. Set a posting schedule

1. Go to Posts → Queue and open the Posting schedule tab.
2. Pick an account and choose the days and times it should post.
3. Click Save schedule. Repeat for each account you want to drip to.

With 25+ accounts the list is collapsible and searchable, and you can filter by client to set up one client's accounts at a time.

2. Add posts to the queue

1. Click Create New Post and write your post as usual — caption, media, platforms.
2. Instead of scheduling, click Add to queue.

The post appears immediately at the bottom of the Queue tab. From there you can:

• Reorder — move posts up or down to change the order they go out
• Shuffle — mix up the order
• Edit — open a queued post in the composer to change anything; it stays in the queue
• Remove — take a post out of the queue

3. How posts get published

Every ~15 minutes, SocialCal assigns the posts at the top of the queue into your next open slots, in order. A queued post becomes a normal Scheduled post (you'll see it on the Scheduled page and Calendar) and publishes at its slot through the same pipeline as everything else.

A post fires to all of its platforms at one slot drawn from the combined schedules of the accounts it targets.

Editing and converting

• Edit a queued post (pencil icon) → change copy, media, platforms, first comments, or TikTok settings. It saves back to the queue in place.
• Convert to a scheduled post → while editing, flip Schedule for later and pick a date/time. The button changes to Schedule post and it leaves the queue as a normal timed post.

What if a platform has no schedule?

A post needs at least one of its accounts to have a posting schedule. If some do and some don't, the post still publishes — the platforms without their own schedule ride along at the scheduled times of the ones that have a schedule. The queue page tells you when this is happening, and warns you if a post can't publish because none of its accounts have a schedule.

The Queue page and Add to queue require the Professional plan or higher. Upgrade from Settings → Billing to unlock it.
