Queue
Fill the queue. It posts on schedule.
Set the weekly times each channel should post, then add posts to the queue. Each one takes the next free slot, with no date pickers.
Picking a date and time for every single post is the slowest part of scheduling, and it's where consistency breaks down. A posting queue removes that decision. You set a weekly rhythm once per channel (say Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:00), and every post you add slots into the next free time automatically. Tesselith's queue works in your workspace's timezone and handles daylight-saving changes. A post going to several channels at once waits for a slot that's free on all of them, so a launch announcement lands everywhere at the same moment.
Weekly slots per channel
Give each channel its own posting times, up to one an hour, every day of the week. Copy one channel's schedule to all your channels in one click when they should share a rhythm.
Add to queue, or share next
Add to queue takes the next free slot at the back of the line. Share next jumps the line and moves everything queued behind it back one slot, for when something is time-sensitive.
Re-flows when plans change
Change a channel's times and queued posts move into the new slots on their own. A post that no longer fits keeps its time instead of disappearing, and you're told which ones. Pause a queue during a crisis or a holiday and nothing goes out until you resume.
Slots from your own data
Once a channel has 20 or more published posts, Tesselith suggests weekly slots from the hours your audience actually engages, converted into your timezone.
Questions people ask about posting queue
- What's the difference between a queue and scheduling a post?
- Scheduling pins a post to one exact date and time you choose. A queue holds posts in order and gives each one the next free time from the channel's weekly posting schedule, so you never pick dates by hand. You can mix both: queued posts flow around anything you've pinned to a fixed time.
- What happens to queued posts when I change my posting times?
- They re-flow into the new slots in the same order. If a post no longer fits any slot, it keeps its current time as a fixed-time post and you're told which ones, so nothing is lost or silently dropped.
- Can one post go to several channels from the queue?
- Yes. A multi-channel post takes the next time that's free on every one of its channels, so it publishes everywhere at the same moment rather than drifting across the week.
