Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
In Posts and calendar, you create the post once and choose which social networks it will go out on. You can publish right away, schedule it, send it for approval, or save it as a draft.
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Connect at least one social account in .
- Have the post image or video ready. Instagram does not accept text-only posts.
Step by step
- Step 1:
In the menu, open and click New post.
- Step 2:
In Where to publish, select the accounts that will receive the post.
- Step 3:
Write the Caption and, if you want, the Hashtags. Write with AI creates text from an idea.
- Step 4:
In Media, click Add and upload the image or video. Generate design and From Izy Studio bring in a ready-made design.
- Step 5:
In By network, choose the format for each account, such as Feed or Story. There you can also write custom text for a specific network.
- Step 6:
In When, click Schedule and choose the day and Time.
- Step 7:
Check that there are no pending warnings and click Schedule, at the bottom of the screen.
- Step 8:
The post opens already scheduled. Remove from schedule cancels the schedule and Post now publishes it right away. It also appears on the calendar on the selected day.
How to know it worked
The post stays on the calendar with the scheduled time and is published automatically on that day. Until then, you can edit or cancel it.
If something goes wrong
The Schedule button is disabled.
Read the warnings in By network and above the button. Usually, you need to select an account, write the caption, or add the media required by the network.
The post was not published on time.
Open the post in the calendar to see why. The most common reason is that the social account was disconnected: reconnect it in Accounts and try again.
