Plan Your Month in the Calendar

From the left sidebar, under Social tools, click Calendar. It opens on the current month with today highlighted.

Each day cell holds whatever is scheduled for that date. The header bar carries the date navigation, the view switcher, and the four action buttons on the right — New post, Pending posts, Post recommendations, and Game events.

The arrows either side of Today step backwards and forwards one period at a time, and Today jumps straight back to the current date. The month and year you are looking at is shown next to the view switcher.

Month, Week and Day change how much you see at once. Month is the planning view — it shows the whole shape of the period. Week and Day narrow it down when a single date is busy enough that the month cell cannot show everything.

The chips under the header control what the calendar shows. The first group is content types — Broadcasts, Journeys and Re-engagements — each with a count of how many exist in the current view. The group after the divider is your connected channels.

Every chip is a toggle. Switch one off and that content disappears from the grid, which is the quickest way to answer a question like "what broadcasts are going out this month?" — turn everything else off and read the month.

Each entry shows its send time and a short title, with an icon on the left that tells you what it is — the same icons used on the filter chips, so a megaphone is a broadcast, the branching icon is a journey, and a channel icon is a social post. A small calendar icon on the right marks an item as scheduled.

Hovering an entry opens a preview card with its status, full send time and the message itself — image, text and buttons included. It is enough to check what is going out without opening the item.

New post opens the Schedule new post dialog. Choose Post or Story at the top, then pick the channels to publish to — the caption and superpower sections stay locked until you select at least one.

Add media with Choose image or video, or send it to the Assets creator to generate something. Write a caption per channel, attach a superpower if the post should do something when people engage with it, then set a date and time under Schedule.

The buttons at the bottom decide what happens next: Save as draft parks it in Pending posts, Submit for approval sends it for review, and Post now publishes immediately. Post now stays greyed out until you have picked at least one channel — that is what it is waiting for, not the schedule.

The Schedule field sets the timing rather than the destination: pick a future date and time to schedule the post, or leave it empty to publish now or save it as a draft.

Pending posts carries a badge with how many drafts are waiting. Clicking it opens a side panel listing each one with its channel, its Draft status, and a preview of the content.

Each card has its own Submit for approval button, so you can work through the backlog without opening the posts individually.

Post recommendations generates ideas for a specific day, shown in the header of the dialog. Ideas are grouped by channel, so pick the channel you are planning for.

Each idea gives you a title, a Why this idea? explanation of what it is based on, and a sample caption you can use as a starting point. The badge on the card names the signal behind it — Posting pattern, for example, means it came from how your audience has engaged in the past.

Copy the caption with the copy button, or click Create post to open the post dialog with the idea already filled in. The refresh button in the top corner generates a fresh set.

Game events lets you upload your own event schedule — a season launch, a tournament, an album release — so it shows up on the calendar alongside everything else. The question-mark icon next to the button opens the format guide.

Upload a CSV with exactly two columns, Date and Description. Dates are DD/MM/YYYY, descriptions are plain text with around 100 characters as a sensible maximum, and the file must be UTF-8. Download template gives you a correctly formed file to start from.

The events do more than sit on the grid: the data is shared with Post recommendations, so the ideas it generates can take your event schedule into account.

The pale badges at the top of each day cell are special days — Star Wars Day, World Bee Day, International Day of Families and so on. Hovering one opens a tooltip explaining what the day is.

They are there as prompts. A day with an obvious tie to your community is an easy hook for a post, and seeing them on the grid while you plan is more useful than remembering to look them up.

The settings icon at the far right of the header opens Calendar settings.

Week starts on sets the first column of the grid — Sunday or Monday. The Overlays section controls the extra layers: Show special days and Show game events turn each overlay on or off, and Show full event names decides whether the grid prints the full name next to each icon or just the icon.
