How can I use the Content Scheduler feature?

The Scheduler feature, which is a part of Publishing 4.0, is a powerful feature that allows you to create, plan and schedule your content to be published on your social media profiles at the time you specify.

To create a new post to be shared on your social media profiles:

1. Go to Publishing 4.0 from the left menu.
2. Make sure you are in the Scheduler feature.
3. Click on New Post from the plane icon at the bottom left or click the + button on a day you want.
4. Select the Publishing Date you want to share your content.
5. Select Channels (social media profiles) you want to share your content with.
6. Select the Type of Content you want to share. For example: Single Image, Video, Carousel, Photo Album, Link or Text...
7. Upload your Media.
8. Write your Caption.
9. If everything is OK, click the Publish Now or Schedule button.

Your content will be automatically shared on your chosen profiles when the time comes. But what you can do with the Scheduler feature is not limited to just that.

RADAAR currently allows sharing content in Single Image, Video, Carousel, Photo Album, Link, Text, Reel and Story types. Please note that unfortunately not every platform supports every content type. However, RADAAR will try to publish your content in the most appropriate way on the platform you choose, even if the platform does not support it.

To publish a short on YouTube, you can choose Reel or Story content types. Thus, the media you upload will be shared as short on YouTube.

Unfortunately, RADAAR does not currently allow publishing content of type event, pool (survey) or article. We would like to bring these options in the near future. But we're not able to share a delivery date for this at the moment.

When you create content to be published on RADAAR, it is first created as a Draft. And its color is grey. If you schedule your content, its color will change to yellow. When the time comes, it is processed and its color turns blue. It turns green when published successfully. If any error occurs while publishing, it turns red.

If a post of yours is not published even though it is due, it is most likely because you did not click the Publish Now or Schedule button and schedule it and it remains as Draft.

After you create your post, you can upload your media. There are many ways to do this. You can upload your file directly from your computer by selecting the Upload from Your Device option. Or you can upload it by connecting your Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Box account by selecting the Upload from Remote option.

If you do not have a visual, you can create it by using Design with Canva, Create with VistaCreate, Create with Adobe Express integrations.

If you need a stock photo for your post, you can use the Stock Library feature to search and use millions of images from Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, Giphy, Tenor, Imgur and Lexica for free.

Or you can generate an image for your post using AI Assistant's Image Generator feature. To learn how you can use this feature of AI Assistant, please check out the tutorial video at https://youtu.be/7T01qkk_jQA.

You can use our built-in Photo Editor feature to edit an image you've uploaded or create a brand new image. To create a new image, press Upload in the file upload area and select Photo Editor. Or press the Update button in the upper right corner of the image you uploaded and select Photo Editor.

If you only write your post Caption in the Default field, it will be published with this text on all platforms you choose. If you want to customize your Caption according to platforms, you can select that platform and write a different text. Thus, when it is published on that platform, it is published with that text. If you want to publish the same Caption on all platforms you choose, you do not need to use this feature. To learn how to use the Caption Variations feature, you can watch the training video at https://youtu.be/verP9Sa0hRE.

You can add a single first comment or up to 10 comments to the post you prepared to share by using the Chain Comments feature which is located bottom toolbar at Post Editor window. You can use this feature to put all your hashtags in your first comment, or you can use it to create a flood on Twitter. But unfortunately, you can only enter text into a comment you add. You cannot upload an image to the comment you added. If a comment you add does not appear under your post when it is published, it is most likely that the API of that platform does not yet support our Chain Comments feature.

You can tag someone in your post that you prepared to be published by using the Tag A Profile feature which is located bottom toolbar at Post Editor window.

To mention someone in your post, you must first customize the Caption for the related platform using the Caption Variations feature. Then, you can add the person you want to mention to your text by clicking on Mentions from the tools on the left, or write the name of the profile you want to mention after the @ sign in the text field.

You can currently only use this feature for posts that you will publish on your Facebook pages, Instagram business or creator profiles, TikTok profile, Twitter account, Mastodon account, LinkedIn company page and LinkedIn personal profile. Because only the APIs of these platforms support the Tag A Profile or Mentions feature.

You can only tag or mention another Facebook page in your post. Because Facebook API does not allow searching for users for security reasons. You can find the Facebook page you are looking for by typing the name exactly as it appears on its profile.

You can tag or mention any Instagram profile in your post. But please remember that the Instagram profile you will tag must be public and you must make sure you spell the username correctly. Otherwise, your post will be rejected by Instagram.

If you want to tag or mention a LinkedIn profile in your post, that person must first have commented on any of your posts. Because LinkedIn API does not allow searching among personal profiles for security reasons. You can then find that person by searching to tag or mention them in your post.

If you are tagging or mentioning a LinkedIn company page in your post for the first time, you should search the entire LinkedIn URL to find that company. Once you find it, you can search and find it by name for future tagging or mentioning .

If you wish, you can add the profiles you want to tag or mention to your Favorites so that you can access them more quickly for your future tagging or mentioning.

When your audience is most active and online is the best time to publish your posts. To find out these times, you can click on the Best Time To Post button at the top left of the date field when you create your post.

If you have connected it, this data comes directly from your own Instagram profile. If you have not connected an Instagram profile yet, the data most suitable for your timezone is shown. When you select a slot from here and click apply, the day and time when your post will be published will change according to your selection.

If you do not see any data in the Best Time To Post feature, it is because your Instagram profile does not have enough followers to collect this data yet or we have not yet collected enough data for your timezone.

You can stylize your post caption using rich text options such as Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Heading 1, Heading 2, Quotation. All you have to do is enter your text, select the words you want to stylize, and choose the option you want from the toolbar.

Please note that most social media platforms do not natively support rich text options. However, when you use these options, RADAAR publishes your post by converting your characters into special characters so that their styles are not lost. That's why you should be careful when using rich text options.
