Schedule Post Basics

Schedule Facebook Posts

Create and publish posts to your Facebook Pages. To save time, you can publish to several Facebook Pages at once. You can publish posts immediately or schedule them in advance.

Statusbrew is not able to support creating event posts or polls.

How To Schedule A Facebook Post?

  1. Go to Compose.

  2. Select one or more Facebook Page(s) you want to post to from the Profile Picker.

  3. Add caption (up to 16000 characters) or upload media(s). You can upload maximum 10 images, or 1 GIF, or 1 video. You can also use Brew AI to write or refine the post caption.

  4. Complete scheduling or publishing your video by selecting Choose date & time option and the Post Now or Schedule. Learn how to select the right posting time.

You can also do the following:

  • Enter or paste a link in your post caption to drive traffic to your website, blog, or other web page. You can shorten the links in Statusbrew for a tidier look, and even add tracking parameters so you know how much traffic comes from those links.

  • Mention Page(s) in caption. Type @username of the Page you want to mention in the caption. As you type, a drop-down list of suggestions will appear. Select the correct Page from the list you want to tag. You can mention Facebook Pages but not personal Facebook profiles. Once the tag is applied, it will appear blue in the text box and become clickable in Post Preview. On clicking, you will be taken to the Facebook Page you just tagged. You can use this to check if you have tagged the correct, valid Page.

  • Add hashtags in the caption.

  • Upload a thumbnail for video, add Video title and Subtitle file in format: filename.[language code]_[country code].srt

  • Add an alt text and description for images.

  • Schedule First comment

  • Choose to publish the post as a Dark post, which won’t appear on your page's timeline or in the feeds of your followers.

  • Add Location Tag to increase your post's visibility in location-based searches

  • Boost post to show your existing post to a larger, targeted audience beyond your followers

  • Choose Audience targeting to customize who sees your content based on specific criteria, such as demographics, interests, job titles, or follower behavior.

  • Add Branded Content Tag For Facebook Verified Pages.

  • Choose to publish a video post as a Reel.

  • Add Internal title up to 64 characters (will be used within Statusbrew)
