# Schedule posts and repeat publishing

Understand one-time posts, optional weekly or monthly repeats, and the publishing window for Facebook groups.

Canonical: https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/campaigns/scheduling/


## How scheduling works

Each network/account card has its own schedule. By default, feed posts publish **Once** and Facebook groups continue within a publishing window. The current composer also offers explicit **Repeats** for eligible non-group networks; choosing a network does not turn recurrence on automatically.

Marketplace listings publish once, with a separate **Renew listing** setting. Do not confuse renewal with publishing the same feed post repeatedly.

## Before you start

Write the post, choose its networks and review the preview. Continue with **Finish** to **When should the post go out?**. Check the workspace time zone shown by the scheduling controls.

## Set a one-time post

1. Select the network/account whose time you want to change.
1. Press **Change** and keep **Once**.
1. Choose **Now**, or set a date and time.
1. Check the summary for that network. Repeat for other selected networks if they need different times.
1. Use **Apply to all networks** only when you want the same schedule on the other compatible networks. Facebook-group windows and Marketplace one-time schedules do not accept incompatible rules.

## Set an explicit repeat

1. For an eligible non-group network, choose **Repeats**.
1. Choose **Every week** or **Every month**.
1. Weekly: select at least one day under **Which days?**.
1. Monthly: enter **Which day of the month?**, from 1 to 31.
1. Enter **Time**, then choose **Until I stop it** or **Until a date** and an **End date**.
1. Review the summary. **The same text is published on every repeat.** For WhatsApp, the message goes to the same recipients each time.

## Set the Facebook-group window

1. Select **Facebook groups** in the timing screen.
1. Choose **Now, no end date** or **Start and end dates**.
1. For a date range, choose **Start date** and optionally **End date (optional)**. The end must follow the start.
1. Review **Post priority**. The stars set the post's share of the Facebook-groups budget and its precedence when posts compete for the same time; they are not a promise of a fixed number of publications.
1. Publish the manual post, or review an AI-created campaign and choose **Resume all**. Setting a time alone is not proof that a post was sent.

## Pauses and missed times

When resuming shows **You missed posts**, choose **Send one now** or **Continue from the next time**. This is a choice about missed publications, not an instruction to resend every missed occurrence.

## If something goes wrong

- **Choose at least one day**: select a weekday before saving a weekly rule.
- **Choose a valid time (HH:MM)**: correct the time field.
- **The end date must be after the start date**: move the end later or clear the optional group end.
- **The publishing time has passed. Choose a new time.**: set a future time and review again.
- **Fix the publishing time marked in red**: inspect each network, not just the selected one.
- A group card waits for the extension: [install and pair the extension](https://docs.lead-knight.com/en/extension/install-and-pair/). Do not create a second copy just to bypass a wait.
