# Schedule Posts Section: OnlyFans Smart Automations. Updated 2025-09-03. Page: https://help.fansmetric.com/onlyfans-smart-automations/schedule-posts Schedule Posts in FansMetric lets you automatically publish photos, videos, and captions to your OnlyFans feed. Simply set your posting window, choose your media folders, pick a caption style, and FansMetric handles the rest. ### Upload Captions Go to **Automations \> Schedule Posts**.\ ​ To get started, you can either: - **Upload a caption file** using the sample CSV format provided. - **Use AI-generated captions** by entering a list of keywords. Both options help you add engaging text to your scheduled posts.  ### Schedule Your Posts ​You can access the Scheduled Posts feature from the Client Sidebar \> Automations \> Schedule Post.  Click on "Schedule a Post" at the top right of the Scheduled Posts dashboard to open the configuration panel. 1\. **Start & End Date/Time :** Define the window during which posts should be sent. 2\. **Schedule Every X Minutes :** Set how frequently posts should be sent within the selected time window. 3\. **Select Folders :** Choose one or more media folders to pull content from. The system will randomly pick media from the selected folders for each post. 4\. **Post Expiry :** Set how long the post should remain visible once sent. 5\. **Post Type :** - **Regular Post** – For your usual scheduled content. Tagging does not happen in the caption. - **Shoutout Post (S4S)** – Used for shoutout-for-shoutout or promotional posts. When you select a Vault folder, the system detects which creator is tagged in each media file and automatically tags them in both the media and the caption. 6\. **Multiple Media (Optional)** - Enable this to include 1–3 media files per post. - If disabled, each post will include only one media file. 7\. **Caption Sources:** You must choose at least one caption source: - **Use Existing Captions**: Select this if you’ve already uploaded a list of captions (via CSV). - **Use AI Generated Captions**: Provide a list of 6–10 keywords. Captions will be generated using AI based on these keywords. - You can select both options to allow the system to mix between uploaded and AI-generated captions.  ### View Your Scheduled Posts After scheduling, you’ll see all your schedules listed with status indicators: - **Scheduled** – Yet to start - **Ongoing** – Currently being posted - **Completed** – Posting is finished You’ll also see post counts, timestamps, and the option to delete.  ### View Individual Scheduled Entries Click on any scheduled post to view the individual entries and their status.\ This screen shows: - The caption - Media preview - Scheduled post time - Expiry time - Post status At the top of the scheduled post view, you'll see a summary of the schedule configuration: - **Status** – Shows if the schedule is *Scheduled*, *Ongoing*, or *Completed* - **Start Date** – When the scheduled posts begin - **End Date** – When the scheduled posts end - **Total Posts** – Total number of posts in the schedule - **Posts Sent** – Number of posts that have already been delivered  Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to any scheduled post entry to access the following actions: - **Edit** – Modify the caption before it gets posted - **Post Now** – Instantly publish the post, bypassing the scheduled time - **Do Not Expire** – Keep the post active indefinitely, ignoring the set expiry time  ### Best Practices - Use relevant folders: Organize your media into clear folders (e.g., “PPV Teasers”, “Interaction”, “Vault Previews”) to streamline scheduling. - Mix captions: Combine AI-generated and pre-written captions for variety and personalization. - Post consistently: Set a cadence (e.g., every 60 or 90 minutes) to stay active on the feed without spamming. - Limit expiry sensibly: 24-hour expiry works well for time-sensitive posts like promotions or daily engagement. - Track performance: Monitor completed and ongoing posts to refine your strategy based on what gets the most interaction. - Review before you schedule: Double-check captions, media selection, and expiry settings before confirming the post.
