Publishing & scheduling
Scheduling posts
Queue posts to publish later, by week, by month, or as a list.
You don't have to publish a post the moment you finish writing it. Scheduling lets you batch your writing on quiet mornings and let Amelia post throughout the week, automatically.
Scheduling from a draft
In the editor, click Schedule instead of Publish now. Pick a date and time, and Amelia will queue the post for that moment. You'll see it appear on the Scheduled page with a small clock icon.
You can also schedule from chat by asking naturally:
Schedule this for Tuesday at 9am
Queue this for tomorrow morning
Amelia will confirm the exact time before scheduling.
The schedule views
The Scheduled page has three views:
- Week: seven-day grid, ideal for planning a posting cadence
- Two-week: useful for content batching across a sprint
- Month: bird's-eye view of the queue
- List: chronological list, useful when you have many posts queued
You can drag posts between days to reschedule, or click a post to edit, reschedule, or cancel.
How publishing actually happens
Behind the scenes, Amelia runs a check every two minutes for posts due to publish. When yours comes up:
- Amelia checks that your LinkedIn connection is healthy.
- The post is sent to LinkedIn via your connected account.
- You receive a confirmation email (if "Publishing" emails are enabled in your notification preferences).
- The post moves from Scheduled to Published.
If anything goes wrong (expired LinkedIn token, content rejected, network issue), the post stays in Scheduled with a clear error and you'll get an email letting you know what happened. See Recovering failed publishes for what to do next.
Rescheduling and cancelling
- Reschedule: drag the post to a new day in the calendar, or click the post and change the time.
- Cancel scheduling: clicking Cancel schedule moves the post back to Drafts without losing your content.
- Publish now from a scheduled post: click the post and choose Publish now to skip the queue.
Limits and density
- Free plan: scheduling is supported, but limited by your monthly credit pool.
- Starter and above: unlimited scheduling within your plan.
- Density warnings: if you queue too many posts in a short window (more than ~3 in a single day), Amelia will gently flag it in chat. LinkedIn's algorithm rewards consistency more than volume.
