The approval queue

The Queue is where Autopost's proposals wait for you. Each card is one post: the photo as it will look, why it was picked, the product or article it is about, the time it is due and a caption for every channel it will go to. Nothing in the queue is published until you approve it.

Approve

Click Approve to schedule the post on every channel at the time shown under the item's name. If that time has already passed, it goes out straight away. Approving uses one post from your monthly allowance, however many channels it goes to. The top of the queue shows how many posts are left this month. If this month's X posts are used up, the X caption is not sent and the post goes out on your other channels.

Edit the captions

Each channel has its own caption box, written for that network. Change any of them, then click Save to keep your edits for later, or Approve to save and schedule in one step.

Next photo

Click Next photo to rebuild the post from the item's next-best photo, cropped again for each channel. It takes a moment; refresh the queue to see it. The button is unavailable when the item has only one photo.

Skip

Click Skip to drop the proposal. The item rests for 30 days before Social Autopost suggests it again. Skipping does not use any of your allowance.

Story image

When a proposal has a 9:16 version of its photo, click Story image to download it and post it as a story yourself in the network's app.

When the queue is empty

New proposals arrive after the daily store review, for each open slot in the coming week. To fill the queue now, click Propose posts now on the Autopost page. If it stays empty, see No posts are being proposed.

Posts that are already scheduled, including those Autopost scheduled on its own in Post automatically mode, are not in the queue. Find them in Posts, where you can edit, pause or cancel them before they go out.
