Scheduler

The Scheduler is your publishing calendar. View, arrange, and time your content across weekly and monthly views with drag-and-drop scheduling.

How to access

Click Scheduler in the left sidebar. Requires an active synfluencer.

Key features

• Weekly and monthly views — Toggle between a week view with hourly time slots and a month view with daily slots.
• Drag-and-drop — Move content between time slots to reschedule. The new time is also pushed to Upload-Post, so the post still fires at the right moment.
• Click a chip to edit or cancel — Clicking any scheduled item on the calendar opens a modal with the current time, a datetime-local input for a new time, and a Cancel schedule button. Saving updates both the local schedule and the Upload-Post job; cancelling cancels the Upload-Post job and returns the content to the Drafted Content tab so you can re-use it later.
• Your audience timezone is the source of truth — Every scheduling input in the app (this page's reschedule modal, the Drafted Content schedule form, the Drafted Content reschedule dialog, and the Approval page's "Approve & Schedule" picker) interprets what you type as wall-clock time in your selected audience timezone, not your browser's clock. So if you're on a laptop in PDT scheduling for an EST audience, typing 8:35 AM means 8:35 AM EST — no silent shift. Each input now labels the interpreted zone below it (e.g. Interpreted in EST (your audience timezone).) so there's no ambiguity.
• Changing the synfluencer's audience timezone asks about existing schedules and automations — Update the audience timezone on the synfluencer's Laboratory profile and, if there are scheduled posts or active automations, a two-step modal appears. Stage 1 offers Move scheduled posts / Save without moving / Cancel. Stage 2 — only if you pick Move — explicitly lists how many scheduled posts will be shifted (so “8:35 AM” stays “8:35 AM” in the new zone, Upload-Post jobs updated in place) and how many active automation cron jobs will be re-registered (automations with their own timezone override are left alone). Click Continue to commit, or Back to reconsider. No surprise writes — every change is opt-in.
• Timezone selection — Set your preferred timezone. All scheduled times are converted and displayed accordingly, and each calendar chip shows the scheduled time with the timezone short code inline (for example, 8:35 AM EST) so you never have to hover to confirm which zone you're reading.
• Autofill — Let the system suggest optimal posting times based on your content and platform best practices.
• Engagement heat map — Each day cell shows a centered percentage and a small n= sample-size badge. Cells with fewer than 5 prior posts get a dashed border so you know that day's score is based on a platform-default fallback rather than real history.
• Bulk schedule from Drafted Content — Select two or more drafts and click Schedule selected. Step 1 lets you pick platforms per item and toggle stagger-across-platforms. Step 2 shows an engagement-weighted plan with editable rows; each row hovers a tooltip with its source (engagement history vs. platform default), percentile, and sample size. Commit fires one transactional batch and shows a 5-minute Undo toast that rolls everything back atomically.
• CSV export — Export your schedule as a CSV file for external tracking or reporting.
• Status indicators — Scheduled chips are dark, published chips are green, and failed chips are red with a · failed badge. Click a failed chip to see why it failed (either a missed schedule window or a platform error from Upload-Post).
• Edit a card's title inline — Each Drafted Content card shows a small pencil next to its title. Click it to rename the card; press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to save, Esc to cancel. Useful for cleaning up older rows whose titles carried long prose from a legacy pipeline.
• Scheduling only offers connected platforms — The platform toggles in the schedule form now show only the synfluencer's connected Upload-Post accounts. If nothing's connected, the form surfaces a red hint asking you to connect at least one platform in Connect first — compiled content without a connected account can't publish, so we stop you before you try. When scheduling to multiple platforms, expand Set per-platform times to give each platform its own date and time; leave an entry blank to fall back to the global schedule. All per-platform entries are interpreted in the synfluencer's audience timezone.
• Reschedule or cancel from Drafted Content too — Every scheduled card in the Drafted Content → Scheduled sub-tab has Reschedule and Cancel schedule actions next to Delete / Archive. Reschedule opens a small dialog with a datetime-local input (the dialog labels the timezone it will interpret your entry in, so you can verify before saving); saving updates Upload-Post's scheduled job in place, no duplicate posts. Cancel schedule behaves the same as on the calendar modal — cancels the Upload-Post job and returns the content to Drafted Content. The All sub-tab of Drafted Content now lists scheduled items alongside draft/review/approved, so you see the whole pre-publish queue in one place.
• Retry a failed post — Opening a failed chip swaps the modal's primary action to Retry with new time: pick a future time, click Retry, and the scheduler clears the stale Upload-Post job and submits fresh. Prefer not to retry? Use Cancel schedule (return to Drafted Content) to send it back to the Drafted Content tab. Retries are always explicit — the background sweeper never auto-retries a failed post, so you won't get surprise duplicates.
• Delivery handoff & reconciliation — When you schedule a post, it's handed off to Upload-Post inside the same database transaction that flips the row to SCHEDULED, so the row never sits in a half-state where the sweeper could submit it a second time and double-post. Upload-Post fires the actual post at the scheduled moment. A background sweeper runs every two minutes: it re-submits any scheduled item that didn't land on Upload-Post the first time (marking past-due unsubmitted rows as failed rather than posting stale content), and — once the scheduled moment passes — reconciles delivered posts via Upload-Post's /status and /history endpoints. The sweeper covers the full non-terminal lifecycle (submitted and in_progress), so calendar chips flip from dark to green within a few minutes of the actual post landing on the platform — you don't have to open the Upload Queue tab to nudge the status.
