# Create & Schedule Posts Create a post, upload a photo or video, write the caption, then schedule it or publish it now to several accounts at once. Make sure the destination accounts are connected. If they aren't yet, follow [Connect Accounts](/dashboard/jadwal-post/hubungkan-akun) first. The example in this guide: a weekend promo post to the *Kopi Senja* Instagram, scheduled for Thursday at 19:00. Kopi Senja's Instagram was connected with the same steps as Facebook in the Connect Accounts guide. #### 1. Open the post editor and pick accounts In **Post Scheduler**, click **Create post** at the top right. Another way: hover over a date in the calendar, then click the plus sign, so the date is filled in for you. ![Choose destination accounts](/assets/dashboard/jadwal-post/jps-b1-akun.png) 1. **Post to**: click an account's photo until it shows a check mark. You can pick more than one account. The small icon on each photo shows its platform. *** #### 2. Upload media and write the caption ![Caption and media](/assets/dashboard/jadwal-post/jps-b2-konten.png) 1. Write the caption, then click **Add photo/video**. The number at the bottom right is the caption's remaining characters, based on the strictest limit among the selected accounts. 2. **Preview**: how the post looks on each platform. On a phone, open it with the **Preview** tab at the top. Each platform's media requirements are in the [table below](#content-requirements-by-platform). *** #### 3. Set each platform's options Each selected account has its own settings section below the caption. ![Instagram settings](/assets/dashboard/jadwal-post/jps-b3-instagram.png) 1. Instagram: choose **Feed** or **Story**. Stories don't use a caption. 2. **Automation**: optional, to reply to comments with an automatic DM once the post is live. See [Automation from Posts](/dashboard/jadwal-post/automation-post). 3. **Custom caption for Instagram**: a caption that differs from the main one, just for this platform. Leave it empty to use the main caption. Settings for other platforms: | Platform | Settings | | --- | --- | | Facebook | **Feed**, **Reels**, or **Story** format | | TikTok | **TikTok mode**: **Send to inbox** or **Publish directly**. With **Send to inbox**, the video lands in your TikTok inbox. Open the TikTok app, tap the notification, and finish posting from there. **Publish directly** publishes the post right away with the **Privacy** you choose. | | YouTube | **Video title** (up to 100 characters), **Visibility** (Public, Unlisted, Private), and a made-for-kids flag | | Pinterest | **Board** (required), **Pin title** (up to 100 characters), and **Destination link** | *** #### 4. Choose the publish time Click the date and time at the bottom of the editor. ![Choosing the publish time](/assets/dashboard/jadwal-post/jps-b4-waktu.png) 1. Choose **Schedule**. Choose **Now** if the post should go out right away. 2. Click the date, up to 90 days ahead. 3. **Time (WIB)**: enter the publish time. Click the date and time again to close the picker. *** #### 5. Save ![The Schedule button](/assets/dashboard/jadwal-post/jps-b5-jadwalkan.png) 1. Check the date and time, then click **Schedule**. If you chose **Now**, the button is **Publish now**. 2. **Save draft**: saves the post without publishing it. Drafts without a schedule go to **Undated drafts** above the calendar. If something doesn't meet the requirements, you'll see *Check the parts marked in red.* and the part is marked in red with an explanation, for example *Instagram needs at least one photo or video.* Fix it, then click **Schedule** again. *** #### 6. Check the result ![A scheduled post on the calendar](/assets/dashboard/jadwal-post/jps-b6-kalender.png) A **Post scheduled** notice appears, and the editor closes. 1. The post shows on the calendar on the date you chose, as **Scheduled**, with its time and platform icons. On a phone, the calendar shows as a list by date. At its time, the status changes to **Sending**, then **Published** if it succeeds. Other statuses are explained in [Manage Posts](/dashboard/jadwal-post/kelola-post). ## Content requirements by platform | Platform | Media | Caption | | --- | --- | --- | | Instagram | Required: 1 to 10 photos or videos.
