Publish Schedule Categories
Creating Category is a great way to schedule multiple posts for your profiles and publish them automatically throughout the day.
The Category simplifies the distribution of content that isn't time-sensitive. It is great for evergreen blog posts, tips about your product, etc. It can be used as a complement to your existing publishing strategy.
Every category can have up to 100 posting times and will be a repetitive cycle of posting times that restarts every week.
Any user can use the category to schedule a post.
This article explains how to configure and use the Schedule Category in Statusbrew.
Configuring Your Schedule Category
You can access the Category window in two ways:
Go to Publish Category from the Statusbrew dashboard
Navigate to Publish from the Statusbrew dashboard and select Category from the sidebar.
In the Category window, select Create category. The Category window will open.
Give an appropriate Name to the Category.
Select a Time zone. Initial time zone defaults to the user’s time zone set in Your account.
Select color to make it easier to identify the posts with the category in the Planner.
Add Posting times.
Select the day from the dropdown menu. You can select from Everyday (will apply the selected time range to all seven days of the week), Weekdays (will apply the time range from Monday to Friday), Weekends (will apply the time range to Saturday & Sunday), or individual days of the week.
Next, set your timeslot by using the time pickers to select the hour, minute, and am/pm time for each day or weekday/weekend. Click Add to add the timeslot.
A particular time of the day when your content is scheduled to be published is known as a “Timeslot” and you have complete control over them, so you can specify exactly when you want your post to be published.
To remove a time slot, hover over it and click (Remove).
Once you have added all the time, click on the Create button. Now, you can use this category to schedule your content while creating a post or uploading a CSV.
You can add a maximum of 100 posting times in a category.
If you’re unsure about the best time to publish, you can experiment with different posting times. Our reporting section will then provide insights into how your content performed, helping you identify the best times to publish.
Adding A Post To Your Schedule Category
The Schedule category can be used in Compose when creating a post in Statusbrew to schedule it.
Go to Compose
From the bottom bar, select Choose date & time. The Select schedule type dialog will open.
Select Schedule by category and choose the category from the dropdown.
Click Apply.
Click Schedule.

Here’s what you’ll see in the Category window:
