Auto Populate fills your calendar with posts picked for you, so you start the week with a plan instead of a blank page. It's on the Content Calendar.
1. Answer four questions
- What are these posts for? — bring in new clients, keep the ones you've got, get in
front of more people, or a bit of everything.
- How far ahead? — this week, the next two weeks, or this month.
- How many a day? — one, two or three.
- Post on weekends?
If some days already have posts, choose whether to leave them alone or replace their posts.
The calendar beside the questions shows where the posts will land.
2. Review
Click See the posts. Tap any post to swap it for another or take it out. When you're happy, click Fill.
3. Changed your mind?
Right after a fill, Undo takes out exactly the posts it added.
Good to know
- Posts go in at the times that tend to do best — weekday evenings first.
- They're suggestions until you touch them: no reminder emails go out for a post Auto
Populate added until you edit or confirm it.
- Replace their posts clears everything in that range, including posts you scheduled
yourself.
Auto Populate is Pro.
