Before you start
Steps
Open "Settings"
On a computer, Settings is in the main menu. On a phone, tap "More" in the bottom bar, then Settings.
You should see: The Settings page, with a row of tabs.
Open SettingsChoose "Brand and content"
The "Scheduling" section is at the top of this tab.
You should see: A "Scheduling" section with the Review Mode and Autopilot Mode switch.
Go to SchedulingTurn on "Autopilot Mode"
Tap the switch if it reads "Review Mode". With it off, the options below are dimmed and the page says "Turn on Autopilot to edit scheduling options."
You should see: The switch reads "Autopilot Mode" and "Post frequency" is no longer dimmed.
Go to the switchType a number under "Post frequency"
Click the number box and type how many posts you want. New accounts start at 1.
You should see: The box shows your number. There's no save button. Your choice saves on its own.
Go to Post frequencyPick "Day", "Week" or "Month"
Use the menu after the word per. New accounts start on Week. If your number is too high for the new period, it drops to the most that period allows.
You should see: The line reads like "3 per Week".
How high can it go
| Period | Most Autopilot will schedule |
|---|---|
| Day | 3 a day |
| Week | 21 a week |
| Month | The box stops at its own maximum, higher than Day or Week |
The setting says "Maximum 3 per day" under its name. Your plan's daily limit applies too, and Pro posts up to 3 times a day. See how many posts each plan gets.
How Autopilot uses it
Autopilot aims for about this many posts in each period and puts them on your posting days. It plans overnight, so a new pace shows up in the posts it adds from then on, not all at once.
What happens next
- Check what Autopilot adds on your schedule.
- Choose which days posts can land on with how to change your posting days.
- Not happy with a post? Edit it before it goes out.
If something's not right
Post frequency is blurred or you can't type in it
You're on Free, where Autopilot Mode schedules 1 post a week and the pace is part of Pro. See how to upgrade to Pro.
The number box is dimmed on Pro
Review Mode is on. Turn on Autopilot Mode first. See how to turn on Autopilot Mode.
Your pace is set, but nothing new appeared
Autopilot plans overnight, so give it until the next morning. If your schedule is still empty, see what to do when a post didn't go out.
