Automated Posting with Queues: A Step-by-Step Guide

Keeping your social media profiles active and consistent takes real effort, especially when you are managing multiple platforms at once. Auto Post with Queues takes that off your plate by letting you build a bank of content and set it to publish automatically on your preferred schedule, whether that is daily, weekly, or on a fully custom cadence.

This feature is available on the Premier, Advanced, Professional, and Enterprise plans.

What you can do with Auto Post Queues:

• Keep a steady posting schedule without manually publishing each post
• Recycle evergreen content so it stays in rotation indefinitely
• Run time-limited campaigns that stop automatically on a set end date
• Post once and let the content delete itself when done
• Share content across all your brands using a Global Queue

Follow these steps to set up your automated posting:

STEP 1: Add a New Queue or Edit Queue

1. Step 1: Create a New Queue

• In your Eclincher dashboard, click on the Auto Post tab in the left-hand navigation bar
• Click Add Queue to create a new one
• Fill in the following details:

On the next page, set up your preferences for the new queue. You’ll be guided through each step, and it will be marked as completed once you're finished. Fill in the following details for your queue:

• Queue Name: Give your queue a clear, recognizable name for easy reference.
• Queue Color: Assign a color to help you visually distinguish this queue from others.
• Select Social Network: Choose which social media platform this queue is for. Note that each queue is tied to one platform at a time.

• Queue Type: Select the type that fits your content strategy:
• Recycle Queue continuously loops through your posts indefinitely
• Recycle Global Queue shares content across all your brands. On the 15th of each month, posts are copied to each brand's Calendar and Approval List and auto-scheduled for up to 60 days
• Recycle End-Date Queue recycles posts until a specific end date you define

Quick FAQs

• Can I create queues for multiple platforms in one queue? No. Each queue is tied to a single social media platform. You can create separate queues for each platform you manage.
• What happens when a Recycle Queue runs out of posts? It loops back to the beginning and starts republishing from the first post in the queue.
• Can I pause a queue without deleting it? Yes. Simply toggle off the Enable Auto Publishing switch on your queue at any time.
• Is there a limit to how many posts I can add to a queue? There is no hard cap, but keeping queues organized and focused on a theme tends to produce better results.
• Can I edit posts after they have been added to a queue? Yes. Go back into the queue, find the post, and make your changes. Updates take effect before the next scheduled publish.
