How do I schedule Facebook posts?

You can schedule posts using the Meta Business Suite or a tool like RecurPost.

In Meta Business Suite, choose “Schedule” after writing your post.
For more control, RecurPost lets you:
Plan content across Pages, Groups, and personal profiles
Use a drag-and-drop calendar
Set recurring schedules
Organize posts into content libraries

How to make a Facebook post shareable?

To make your Facebook post shareable, go to the post, click the three-dots menu icon, and select Edit Audience or Privacy (note: the exact name may differ slightly between desktop and mobile app).

Then, set the audience to Public so anyone can share it.

If you prefer to restrict who can see or share the post, you can set the audience to Friends (visible only to friends) or Only Me (visible only to you).

Can I schedule a Facebook Live video?

Yes, you can schedule a Facebook Live video using Facebook Live Producer. Here’s how:

Go to Live Producer on your Facebook Page.
Select “Schedule a Live Video”.
Choose the date and time you want to go live.
Add your title, description, and thumbnail.
Set your audience and visibility preferences.
Click “Schedule Live Video”.

Your followers will get a notification when it's time, and a post with the upcoming live video will appear on your Page.

Can I schedule Facebook Reels, Stories, and Feed posts?

Two of the formats can be scheduled via Recurpost.

Feed posts and Reels publish directly at the scheduled time
Upload media, add captions, and choose format, all in one place
To publish stories on your personal profiles, go to the RecurPost web app, schedule your story, and then tap on the reminder notification. If you are posting on your page, no notification is required

What analytics can I see for my Facebook posts?

RecurPost provides detailed analytics for every connected Page.

View reach, impressions, reactions, comments, shares, and link clicks
See which libraries and time slots bring the most engagement
Identify top-performing posts and use that insight to plan future content
Export reports or share white-labeled versions with clients
RecurPost also separates organic vs paid performance if you’ve boosted a post

Can I schedule posts to Facebook Groups?

RecurPost allows you to schedule posts to Facebook Groups that you administer as well as groups where you are a member. You can schedule content both as a profile and as a page, giving you flexibility in how your brand appears in group discussions. When you schedule a post to a Facebook Group, RecurPost sends a mobile notification when it’s time to publish, since Facebook’s API doesn’t permit direct auto-publishing to Groups. Simply open the notification and share with one tap to complete the posting process. This approach maintains Facebook’s posting permissions while still enabling efficient content planning across your group communities.

Can I schedule posts to my Facebook personal profile?

RecurPost supports scheduling posts to Facebook personal profiles, making it one of the few social media tools with this capability. When you schedule content for your personal profile, the post requires a quick tap to publish due to Facebook’s API restrictions. RecurPost sends a mobile notification through the app when your scheduled post is ready, and you simply open the alert and share with one tap. This method respects Facebook’s platform limitations while still allowing you to plan your personal content in advance, maintain posting consistency, and save time through batch content creation.

Can I schedule recurring posts on Facebook?

Add posts to a content library where RecurPost allows you to schedule recurring or evergreen content that automatically republishes according to your defined schedule, keeping your best-performing content in rotation without manual intervention.

Can I schedule multiple Facebook posts at once?

Yes, upload and schedule multiple Facebook posts at once in bulk, enabling efficient content planning for weeks or months ahead with minimal effort.

Upload posts in bulk via CSV
Choose content directly from your saved libraries
Apply time slots or let the tool pick best times
Schedule days or weeks of content in minutes

Can I preview my post before it goes live?

Yes. RecurPost shows a real-time preview of each scheduled Facebook post before it goes live, allowing you to see exactly how your content will appear in the feed.

See how text, images, videos, and links will appear
Catch typos, layout issues, or broken links
Edit before it’s published

Can I use hashtags or tag Facebook Pages in scheduled posts?

Yes, both are supported.

Mention public Facebook Pages using “@”
Facebook may auto-convert mentions into tags when the post goes live
Tagging people is not supported due to Facebook’s API limits

Can I schedule Facebook posts for different time zones?

Yes, RecurPost allows you to assign a different time zone to each connected Facebook account. This is especially useful if you're managing Pages for clients in different regions or running a global brand.

Scheduled posts will go live according to the time zone set for that specific Page, not your local time
This avoids errors like missing peak hours or posting too early or too late for your audience
You can update or adjust the time zone setting at any time from your account dashboard

Why do my scheduled Facebook posts sometimes not go out as planned?

There might be several reasons, including:

Permissions issue: Your account may not have the required permissions to post. Reconnect your account and grant all requested access.
Expired token: Recently changing your password may lead to token expiry. To sort it out, you must reconnect your account to Recurpost to continue posting.
Group or Profile post not published: Posts to Groups and personal Profiles require manual publishing. Check on RecurPost’s mobile app for a notification to complete the posting.
Time zone mismatch: The scheduled time may not match the Facebook account’s time zone.
Content issues: Posts with missing media, unsupported formats, or flagged content can fail to publish.
Platform limits: Facebook may restrict publishing due to spam detection, rate limits, or temporary API errors.

What happens if I change or edit a post after scheduling it?

You can edit any scheduled post before it goes live.

For Pages, the changes update instantly in the queue
For Groups and Profiles, you can still edit until the mobile reminder is triggered
You can change text, images, links, or the scheduled time
If you replace media or change the format (like switching from Feed to Story), just save the changes and it updates accordingly
Posts that are already published can’t be changed retroactively, but you can duplicate them and edit the new version

What if I miss the mobile notification for a Group or Profile post?

If you don’t act on the notification, the post won’t go live.

RecurPost doesn’t have permission to auto-publish to Groups or personal profiles
If you miss the notification for a scheduled Facebook post, you can still go into your RecurPost account and repost it manually, ensuring no content is lost even when notifications are overlooked.
The app doesn’t delete missed posts, so they’re easy to reschedule
To avoid missing alerts, make sure push notifications are enabled on your phone and the RecurPost app isn’t battery restricted in your settings

Why can't I see Schedule posts on Facebook?

If you don’t see the “Schedule” option when creating a post, it could be due to a few common reasons:

You’re trying to post from a personal profile, Facebook doesn’t support native scheduling there
You’re using the standard Facebook app instead of Meta Business Suite
Your Page role doesn’t allow scheduling, only admins or editors can do it
Facebook’s interface may have temporarily changed or removed the button
If you’re on mobile, try switching to the desktop view for full features

Why is my Meta Business Suite scheduled post not working?

Meta Business Suite scheduled posts can fail for several reasons:

First, verify you have admin, editor, or moderator permissions for the Page, as insufficient access prevents publishing.
Second, check if your account has been temporarily flagged by Facebook due to security concerns, policy violations, or spam detection. This triggers access token errors that block scheduled posts.
Third, confirm your scheduled time falls within the allowed 20-minute to 29-day window and matches your Page’s time zone settings.
Fourth, review your content for issues like missing media, unsupported file formats, oversized images or videos, or links that violate Facebook’s community standards.
Fifth, reconnect your Facebook account in Meta Business Suite if you recently changed your password, as this invalidates existing tokens.
If posts still fail, clear your browser cache and cookies, log into Facebook directly to resolve any security checkpoints, then try rescheduling.
For persistent errors without clear explanations from Facebook, wait 15-30 minutes and attempt publishing again, as temporary API issues often resolve automatically.

Why can't I schedule posts on Facebook?

You cannot schedule posts on Facebook for several reasons depending on your account type and access level.

For personal profiles, Facebook doesn’t support native scheduling through the standard Facebook app. You must use Meta Business Suite or third-party tools like RecurPost that send mobile notifications when it’s time to publish.
For Facebook Pages, the “Schedule” option only appears when you’re using Meta Business Suite or accessing the Page as an admin, editor, or moderator. Standard users and contributors lack scheduling permissions.
If you’re trying to schedule from the regular Facebook mobile app instead of Meta Business Suite, the scheduling feature won’t be available.
Additionally, Facebook restricts scheduling to a window between 20 minutes and 29 days from the current time, so posts outside this range cannot be scheduled.
If you recently changed your password or Facebook flagged your account for security reasons, your access tokens may be invalid, preventing scheduling until you reconnect your account.
For Facebook Groups, direct scheduling isn’t supported through Facebook’s native tools. You need third-party schedulers that use notification-based publishing to complete the process.
