Choose a Facebook-group posting pace

What these settings control

Publishing settings determines how often and when the selected Facebook identity posts in groups across all campaigns. It is not the schedule for only the campaign you last opened. One publication means one post in one group.

Before you start

Connect your Facebook identity and groups. Check its extension or phone readiness and select the correct profile/Page before editing. The estimated number of daily publications depends on the selected hours, available groups and shared Facebook-account allowance; it is not a delivery promise.

Open and save settings

1. Open Connections, then the Facebook-group connection's Manage groups.
2. Under Facebook profiles, select the identity whose settings should change.
3. In Publishing settings, choose Automatic or Manual and configure the options below.
4. Review the daily estimate, connection status and any warning. Choose Save changes.
5. Wait for Publishing settings saved. Future publications were updated. Future publications are replanned; anything already publishing continues.

Changing profiles with unsaved edits opens Unsaved changes. Choose Stay, Discard changes or Save changes deliberately.

Automatic mode

Choose a preset and at least one part of the day under When to post:

Preset	How the pace differs
Safety	The most careful pace: the longest spacing, longest same-group cooldown and fewer daily posts. Periodic rests occur more frequently.
Balanced	A middle pace with less spacing and a shorter same-group cooldown than Safety, plus less-frequent periodic rests.
Efficiency	The fastest pace and highest daily volume of the three, with shorter spacing and same-group cooldown. It has no preset periodic-rest rule. The app recommends Safety or Balanced.

LeadKnight's Safety preset uses trusted input events dispatched through the Chrome DevTools Protocol—the reason for the extension's debugger permission—together with a humanized behavior model, which other automatic posters do not.

Important: Safety is our most careful setting, but no setting can guarantee complete safety. You're responsible for your account's safety and for following the platform's terms.

Morning, Noon, Evening, Night and Before dawn select the permitted parts of the day. Night crosses midnight. Under Additional settings, Rest day stops posting before the selected rest day and resumes that evening; it is not simply a midnight-to-midnight pause.

Safety and Balanced can share the Facebook login's daily allowance with its other profiles and Pages; the UI shows Your share when this applies. Newly connected profiles also have a more conservative allowance that changes as the connection becomes established. Read the estimate shown for the actual profile instead of multiplying a nominal hourly pace by the clock.

Manual mode

Manual mode gives direct control over the target, day-by-day hours and enabled browser methods; it does not use one of the three Automatic presets.

1. Set Target publications per day between 1 and 300. Each day's allowance may be up to 15% below that target, never above it; available groups and hours can further limit delivery.
2. In Active hours, select a day and turn on publishing for that day. Set From and To; use Add hours for another range and Remove these hours to remove one.
3. Enable at least one day. Each range must end after it starts, and ranges on the same day cannot overlap.
4. Under Posting methods, allow the connected methods you want LeadKnight to choose among. At least one connected method must be allowed.

Method	The app's guidance
Orbit 1	Posts from your browser even with Facebook in the background.
Orbit 2	Posts from your browser the way a person would; needs Facebook in front.
Orbit Quick	The fastest browser method.

Manual mode still applies pacing; setting a high target is not a guarantee that all those publications will run.

Choose where the profile posts

Where cloud options are available, How this profile posts offers Extension only, Extension, cloud phone as backup and Cloud phone only. The connection view also describes these as Where posts run. Device choice and publishing policy are separate controls; the posting-device choice saves immediately, while policy edits use Save changes.

A connected phone is required for cloud publishing. Safety never posts from the cloud phone. The cloud cannot post video; media needing the browser must use the extension. Selecting Scheduled verification to use the cloud phone changes scheduled checks, not where publishing occurs; that option requires a successful cloud-phone publishing session first.

Pause and troubleshoot

Pause publishing pauses all Facebook-group campaigns for that identity until Resume publishing is used. Review the confirmation before pausing. It is not a pause of unrelated profiles.

Symptom	What to check
No daily estimate or add-groups message	Add groups for this identity.
Cannot save Automatic	Select at least one part of the day.
Cannot save Manual	Check target range, enabled days, non-overlapping hours and an allowed connected method.
Posts waiting while extension is offline	Restore the paired browser; extension-only publishing waits. Do not publish the queued post again.
Cloud selected but nothing runs	Confirm the phone is connected and signed in; Safety and video do not use the cloud.
Facebook refusal with a resume time	Read the displayed refusal and resume time; changing to a faster preset is not a repair for the Facebook account.
Needs verification	Check the actual group before retrying to avoid duplicates.
