Three ways to control timing
- Delay: hold each post for a set time before it is sent.
- Random delay: vary the wait, so posts do not arrive at a fixed pace.
- Time and day rules: forward only inside a time window, or only on certain weekdays.
Scheduling on jobs
Scheduling lets a job run during the hours you set. It is included on some plans, not all. Check the pricing page for which plans include scheduling and how many jobs each plan allows.
Time window rules
Time-between and weekday rules let one job behave differently at different times. For example, forward only on weekdays during business hours. Confirm which timezone the rule uses in the app before you rely on it.
Batching and rate limits
Batching groups posts together, and rate limits cap how many are sent in a set period. Use them to keep a busy source from flooding a destination. Daily message allowances depend on your plan.
Example
A channel posts all day, but the destination should publish only during working hours. Add a weekday time window for those hours, and a short random delay of a few minutes so reposts arrive at a natural pace.
Set it up
- Create or open the job and check that your plan includes scheduling.
- Add the time or weekday rule, and confirm the timezone.
- Add a delay if you want posts to wait before they are sent.
- Test at the edge of your window, because that is where timing mistakes show up.
Frequently asked questions
Is scheduling included in every plan?
No. Scheduling depends on your plan. See the pricing page for current plan limits.
What happens to posts that arrive outside the window?
The rule decides what happens. Test with a post near the edge of your window before you rely on it.
Does a delay change the content?
No. A delay changes when a post is sent, not what it says.
