Scheduling basics
How does scheduling work?
Scheduler combines ideas, drafts, and scheduled posts in one calendar. Add idea saves a plan; publication requires a separately selected time and ready content. Autopilot works only within an organization policy that has been explicitly activated.
From plan to schedule:
- • Start with Add idea or open an existing calendar entry.
- • Complete the copy, channel, and media; you can also open the Carousel editor.
- • Check the time, timezone, and target channel before confirming a schedule.
Editing the schedule
You can update the schedule in several places:
- In the workspace or Drafts: select a publishing time in the card.
- Scheduler’s Add idea: save an idea and finish the post later.
- In Library: choose Schedule or Reschedule.
- In a carousel: Save finishes the images; scheduling is confirmed separately.
Publish now vs scheduled publishing
• Publish now
The post is published immediately with the "Publish now" button. Use this when you want to publish right away.
• Scheduled publishing
The post is set for a future time. Use this when you want to plan content ahead.
Timezone and time settings
Timezone settings
Gunvald uses the signed-in user’s local timezone when handling schedules.
Important:
- • Scheduled times are shown in the user’s own timezone
- • If your team works across multiple timezones, agree on a shared scheduling practice
- • Use manual scheduling and notify the team when needed
Scheduling settings
- • You can change scheduled times in Drafts, the Content Library, and Scheduler
- • Scheduled posts are listed in Scheduler
- • Use the "Reschedule" action when you want to move a publication
Scheduling controls
Edit the time
Open the scheduled post in Scheduler and choose a new date and time from the calendar.
Pause the publication
Cancel a future schedule before publishing starts. If it is already processing, check the final status; cancellation does not remove a social post that has already been created.
Publish immediately
Use the "Publish now" button if you want to publish the post immediately instead of keeping it scheduled.
Common issues and fixes
Time mistakes
Check the proposed date, time, and timezone before saving. An AI suggestion is not a confirmed publication time.
Media missing
Upload your own image or ask AI to generate an image plan if the post does not yet have suitable media.
Scheduling conflicts
Check the channel’s other schedules and the conflict shown by the app. Move the time when needed; available slots depend on the plan and channel constraints.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the schedule after publishing?
An existing social publication cannot be moved to a new time. Use Library’s Create copy and schedule for a new post; the original remains unchanged.
How far into the future can I schedule?
Select a future time allowed by the interface and check the channel’s restrictions. Avoid planning too far ahead when prices, offers, or other details may change.
What happens if I forget about a scheduled post?
A scheduled post is processed at the selected time if its channel connection and content are ready. Check the result in Scheduler or Library; Scheduled does not yet mean Published.
Can I cancel a scheduled publication?
Yes. You can remove or move a scheduled post in Scheduler or in the Content Library before it is published.
Why does scheduling fail?
Check the channel connection, permissions, ready images or video, and the reported error. If the publishing result is uncertain, inspect the channel and event history before retrying.
