    Scheduling and Publishing Posts

    Lead Fuel CRM makes it easy to plan your social media content days, weeks, or even months in advance. Schedule individual posts or use bulk scheduling to fill your content calendar efficiently.

    Creating a New Post

    Step 1:Open the Social Planner and click "Create Post" or click directly on a date in the calendar.
    Step 2:Select which social media accounts should receive the post.
    Step 3:Write your post content in the composer. You can customize the text for each platform if needed.
    Step 4:Add images, videos, or other media by uploading files or selecting from your content library.
    Step 5:Add hashtags, mentions, or links as appropriate.
    Step 6:Choose "Post Now" to publish immediately or "Schedule" to pick a future date and time.

    Bulk Scheduling

    For businesses that want to plan content in batches, Lead Fuel CRM supports bulk scheduling:

    • CSV Upload: Prepare a spreadsheet with your post content, dates, and media references, then upload it to schedule multiple posts at once.
    • Recurring Posts: Set a post to repeat on a regular schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly) for evergreen content.
    • Drag and Drop: Rearrange scheduled posts on the calendar by dragging them to new dates and times.

    Best Times to Post

    Lead Fuel CRM analyzes your audience engagement data to suggest optimal posting times for each platform:

    • Review suggested times in the scheduling dialog under "Best Times."
    • Suggestions are based on when your followers are most active and engaged.
    • You can override suggestions and set any time you prefer.

    Managing Scheduled Posts

    • Edit: Click any scheduled post on the calendar to modify its content, media, or timing.
    • Delete: Remove a scheduled post if your plans change.
    • Pause: Temporarily hold a post without deleting it.
    • Duplicate: Copy a successful post to reuse on another date or platform.

    Tip: Batch your content creation into weekly sessions rather than posting ad-hoc. Scheduling a week of content in one sitting ensures consistency and frees up your daily time for other tasks.
