Posting queue
An ordered list of scheduled posts waiting to publish, organized by network and time slot.
What is a posting queue?
A posting queue is the pipeline of posts waiting to go live. Each post sits in line behind the others, ordered by its scheduled publish time. When the time arrives, the scheduler grabs the next item, posts it to the target network, and moves on.
Why queues matter
Without a queue, scheduling means juggling individual reminders. With one, you load up a week or month at a time and the system handles delivery. You see what's coming next, when it'll go out, and what's already out — all in one place.
What a healthy queue looks like
- Always full enough: at least 5–10 days of content queued so a busy week doesn't break your cadence
- Mixed content types: alternating formats (carousel / single image / video / text-only) so the feed doesn't feel monotone
- Network-aware ordering: your X queue cadence is different from your LinkedIn queue cadence; the queue should reflect that
- Easy to reorder: drag a post forward or back without re-typing it
In TryPost the queue lives inside the calendar — drag a post to a different slot to reorder, filter by network or workspace to see one queue at a time.
