Queue Editor

Queues let you automate your publishing schedule by defining time slots and adding content that posts automatically.

Overview

Navigate to Queues to see your queues list, then click any queue or Create New Queue to open the editor.

Queue Editor Tabs

Settings Tab

Configure basic queue properties:

SettingDescription
Queue NameDescriptive name (e.g., "Daily Tips", "Weekly Promo")
DescriptionWhat this queue is for
Active StatusToggle to pause/resume publishing

Shuffle Content

When enabled, posts are selected randomly from the queue rather than in order. Great for evergreen content libraries.

Evergreen Recycling

When enabled, posts automatically return to the end of the queue after publishing. Perfect for:

  • Recurring tips or quotes
  • Promotional content you want to repeat
  • Educational series that cycle

Schedule Tab

Define when posts should be published:

  1. Select days of the week
  2. Add time slots for each day
  3. Posts will publish at the next available slot

TIP

Use your Best Times to Post data from Analytics to set optimal time slots.

Items Tab

Manage queue content:

  • View all posts currently in the queue
  • Add Post: Add new content to the queue
  • Shuffle: Randomize current order
  • Remove: Delete posts from the queue
  • Reorder: Drag and drop to change order

Creating a Queue

  1. Go to QueuesCreate New Queue
  2. Enter a name and description
  3. Configure settings (shuffle, evergreen)
  4. Set up your schedule with time slots
  5. Add content to the queue
  6. Click Save Queue

Pausing a Queue

Toggle Active Status off in Settings to pause publishing. Content remains in the queue but won't post until you reactivate.

Best Practices

  1. Create separate queues by content type — Tips queue, Promo queue, etc.
  2. Use Best Times data — Schedule slots when your audience is most active
  3. Enable Evergreen for timeless content — Maximize content lifespan
  4. Review regularly — Remove outdated content from evergreen queues
