Scheduling Options
Recurring post
By turning on Recurring post?
switch, you can enable the Recurring Post feature to schedule posts to repeat. There are five interval options available: Every Day, at specific time slots
, Every 12 hours
, Daily
, Weekly
, Monthly
, or Yearly
.
Explanation:
The Recurring Post feature allows you to schedule posts that will automatically repeat at specified intervals. Here’s an explanation of each recurring option:
1. Every Day, at Specific Time Slots
- Posts will be scheduled to recur every single day at specific times that you define. Unlike "Daily" option, There could be multiple slots a day.
- Example: If you set a post for 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily, the system will publish the post at those times every day.
2. Every 12 Hours
- Posts will recur at 12-hour intervals, ensuring two posts every day spaced evenly apart.
- Example: If the first post goes live at 8:00 AM, the next one will be published at 8:00 PM, and this pattern will continue daily.
3. Daily
- Posts will repeat once every day at a specific time.
- Example: A post set for 9:00 AM will be published at 9:00 AM every day.
4. Weekly
- Posts will recur once a week on the same day and time as the original post.
- Example: A post scheduled for 3:00 PM on Monday will be published every Monday at 3:00 PM.
5. Monthly
- Posts will repeat on the same date each month at the designated time.
- Example: A post set for 10:00 AM on the 15th of March will also post at 10:00 AM on the 15th of April, May, and so on.
6. Yearly
- Posts will recur on the same date and time every year.
- Example: A post scheduled for 1:00 PM on December 25 will repeat at the same time every December 25 in subsequent years.
These options allow for flexibility in automating posts according to your scheduling needs, making it easier to manage recurring events, announcements, or reminders.
Rephrasing
If you want to avoid posting the same content but still wish to post repeatedly, turn on the Rephrase
option. Robopost will use AI to modify the text based on the tone of voice you select.
Generate New Images
You can also generate a new image for each post. Simply turn on the Generate a new image
option and select the AI model you would like to use. Please note that images will be generated starting from the second post onward.
