Recurring schedules

A recurring schedule reposts the same carousel automatically, for example a promo every Friday or a daily menu, without scheduling each post yourself. Every post from a recurring schedule costs 0 AI credits because the AI doesn't create anything new; only automatic caption variation (when turned on) uses AI credits.

Who can use it?

• Paid plans only. On the Free plan, the Repeat section is marked Paid plans and includes an upgrade link. See How to upgrade your plan.
• The number of recurring schedules per workspace depends on your plan (see Pricing). Paused series count too; client workspaces use the limit of their parent agency's plan.
• This feature is opening gradually. If the Repeat section doesn't appear in the schedule dialog, your account isn't included yet.

Create a recurring schedule

1. Open the carousel in the studio, click Schedule, then pick accounts and check the caption as usual (see Scheduling posts).
2. Under When, choose the date and time of the first post.
3. Under Repeat, choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, then Every 1–4 days, weeks, or months. Weekly: pick the days under On. Monthly: pick a day from 1–28 or Last day of the month.
4. Under Ends, choose After a number of times (up to 100), On date (at most 1 year from today), or Never.
5. Check the Next 5 posting dates, choose the Carousel content (see below), then click Create recurring schedule.

The nearest posts go straight into the calendar; later ones appear as their date gets closer (currently about 2 weeks before). While repeating, the Publish now button is hidden.

Carousel content and caption

• Use the latest carousel version: changes you make in the studio are posted in the next scheduled posts.
• Lock this version: every post uses the current content even if the carousel changes later.
• The caption per account is fixed when the series is created; editing the caption in the studio doesn't change the series caption.
• Vary the caption automatically: AI rewrites the caption from the 2nd post onwards so it isn't identical. Each variation uses AI credits (1 by default). If it fails, the original caption is used.

Posting the same content repeatedly can lower reach or be treated as spam by platforms. Space posts a few days apart and turn on caption variation.

Manage a series

1. Open Calendar (/app/calendar) and click Recurring. From a post in the calendar marked Part of a recurring schedule, you can also click Manage series.
2. Each series shows its status (Active, Paused, Finished, or Ended), its rule, the next post, and how many have been published.
3. Choose Pause, Resume, Edit, or End.

Pause and End cancel upcoming posts that haven't been processed; posts already published stay. Posts missed while paused aren't published late. Edit changes the rule, time, version, and caption variation for the next posts; if the version is locked, Apply latest carousel content uses the current studio content. Accounts and captions can't be changed here: end the series and create a new one.

Automatically paused series

Posto pauses a series and sends a notification if a target account is disconnected, the subscription is locked or the plan no longer includes recurring schedules, the carousel needs approval again, the carousel was deleted, or the platform can't accept the post. The reason appears in the Recurring schedules panel with how to fix it, for example reconnecting the account (see Connecting social media accounts). Once fixed, click Resume.

If the daily scheduling limit is full, that day's post is skipped, the series stays active, and you get a notification.
