Marcus Mitchell

"Smart automation saved me 10 hours every week. I set up recurring posts for daily tips, weekly roundups, and monthly highlights—they publish automatically without me touching them. The bulk CSV feature lets me schedule entire campaigns in under 5 minutes. It's transformative."

Emily Brooks

"As a content manager for a global brand, maintaining consistent presence across time zones was impossible manually. Automated evergreen content keeps our channels active 24/7. Engagement increased 145% because we're posting at optimal times in every region automatically."

Robert Turner

"Managing seasonal campaigns for retail meant manually scheduling hundreds of posts. The automation workflows handle Black Friday, holiday seasons, and product launches entirely. Setup takes 1 hour instead of 40. We've executed flawless campaigns three quarters running with zero manual intervention."

How Smart Automation Works - Simple 4-Step Process

Choose Automation Type

Select which automation to set up: recurring posts (daily tips, weekly newsletters), approval workflows (auto-publish when approved), bulk scheduling (upload campaign CSV), crossposting (auto-post to multiple platforms), or conditional workflows (if/then rules based on performance). Each automation type has a template to guide setup with examples and best practices.

Configure Automation Rules and Schedule

Define automation parameters: for recurring posts, set interval (daily, weekly, custom), content variations, and start/end dates. For approval automation, configure review requirements and auto-scheduling rules. For bulk scheduling, upload CSV and map columns. For crossposting, select platforms and formatting rules. Set conditional triggers (e.g., if engagement > 1000, then repost to LinkedIn).

Review and Activate Automation

Preview automation behavior to ensure it works as expected. See upcoming scheduled posts, approval flow, or crossposting plan. Test automation with a draft post to verify formatting and timing. Adjust rules if needed. Activate automation to start automatic processing. Automations run in background without manual intervention.

Monitor and Optimize Automation Performance

View automation dashboard showing active automations, processed posts, and performance metrics. See how much time automations are saving weekly. Pause, edit, or delete automations anytime. Receive notifications when automations trigger (e.g., 'Recurring post published', 'Content auto-approved and scheduled'). Optimize automation rules based on performance data and insights.

Smart Automation Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about automation features? Our support team is here to help.

What social media tasks can I automate?

Automate recurring posts (daily tips, weekly newsletters, monthly promotions), approval workflows (auto-publish when content is approved), bulk scheduling (upload CSV to schedule hundreds of posts), crossposting (auto-post content to multiple platforms with optimized formatting), conditional publishing (if Instagram post hits 1000 likes, repost to LinkedIn), and optimal time-slot scheduling (auto-schedule approved posts into best times based on audience activity). Automations save hours weekly on repetitive tasks.

How do recurring posts work?

Create a post once and set it to republish automatically on a schedule: daily (every morning at 8 AM), weekly (every Monday), monthly (first day of month), or custom intervals (every 3 days, every 2 weeks). Define content variations so posts rotate (create 5 tips that cycle weekly instead of repeating the same tip). Set start/end dates or run indefinitely. Pause, edit, or delete recurring posts anytime. Perfect for consistent presence without daily manual posting.

Can I auto-publish content after it's approved?

Yes! Set up approval automation where approved content automatically moves to scheduled publishing without manual rescheduling. Configure workflows: contributors submit drafts, reviewers approve, and approved posts auto-schedule into next optimal time slot based on audience activity. Eliminate delays between approval and publishing. Combine with recurring schedules—approved content fills predefined time slots automatically. Reduces manual work for teams with approval requirements.

How does bulk scheduling work?

Upload CSV files or spreadsheets containing campaign content (captions, image URLs, platforms, publish dates/times). Map spreadsheet columns to post fields during import. PostNext validates data and bulk schedules hundreds of posts in seconds. Review scheduled posts before publishing. Edit individual posts after bulk upload if needed. Perfect for agencies planning month-long campaigns, product launches with pre-planned content, or seasonal promotions. Supports all platforms simultaneously.

What is automated crossposting?

Create content once and automatically post to multiple platforms with platform-optimized formatting. Post to Instagram (square), TikTok (vertical), LinkedIn (link preview), X (text focus) simultaneously with one click. Platform-specific formatting applies automatically (character limits, image ratios, hashtag placement). Set conditional crossposting: if Instagram Reel gets 1000 views in 24 hours, auto-repost to TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Saves time repurposing successful content.

Can I set up conditional automation based on performance?

Yes! Create if/then rules based on content performance: 'If Instagram post reaches 1000 likes within 24 hours, auto-repost to LinkedIn and X', 'If TikTok video hits 10k views, notify team to boost it', or 'If engagement rate exceeds 5%, add to top performers collection'. Conditional automation helps capitalize on viral content automatically without monitoring manually. Set up performance triggers and actions in the automation builder.

How much time does automation save?

Users typically save 5-10 hours weekly with automation. Recurring posts eliminate daily manual scheduling (saves ~1 hour/day). Bulk scheduling campaigns takes minutes instead of hours (saves ~5 hours/campaign). Approval automation removes manual rescheduling after reviews (saves ~30 min/day). Crossposting automation eliminates reformatting content per platform (saves ~15 min/post). Time savings compound for agencies managing multiple clients or brands maintaining high posting frequency.

Can I pause or edit active automations?

Absolutely! View automation dashboard showing all active automations. Click any automation to pause (temporarily stop), edit rules/schedule, or delete permanently. Pausing recurring posts stops future publications but preserves already-scheduled instances. Editing automation updates future behavior without affecting past actions. Receive notifications when automations trigger so you can monitor behavior. Full control to adjust automations as strategy evolves.
