How to schedule your first post

Create a TimeToPost post, pick your X account, attach media, and schedule it for a specific time or best-time recommendation.

Before you start

You need a TimeToPost account, one connected publishing account, and a paid plan or trial that allows posting. Free accounts can explore the app, but posting requires a plan.

X is the only live everyday scheduler platform today. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, and YouTube are coming soon; public scheduling claims should stay anchored to X until those launch.

Create the post

Open the dashboard composer and build the post from the same queue your AI drafts use.

  1. Write the caption in the composer.
  2. Attach media if you want it; X posts can be text-only.
  3. Select one or more connected X accounts.
  4. Choose a specific date and time, publish now, or use a best-time slot when your plan includes it.
  5. Save the post. It moves into the scheduled list until the background scheduler publishes it.

Check the result

The post lifecycle moves through draft, scheduled, publishing, published, failed or partial states. If one destination fails, TimeToPost records the per-account result so you can retry or reconnect the affected account.
