Schedule social posts from your pages

Simply CMS Simply CMS Help

Share a page on Facebook and LinkedIn now or at a time you choose. Pages with a feature image appear on LinkedIn as full image posts.

Every page has a Social Media tab for sharing it on your connected networks.

Share a page

  1. Go to Pages and open the page.
  2. Open the Social Media tab.
  3. Choose the networks.
  4. Check the preview.
  5. Choose Post now, or Schedule with a date and time in your account's time zone.

Scheduled posts are listed on the tab with their status. You can cancel a scheduled post before it goes out.

What gets posted

  • The post uses the page's title and text, with paragraph breaks kept, and a View source link back to the page.
  • LinkedIn: if the page has a feature image, it's posted as a full image post (image, title, text, then the link) rather than a small link card. If the image can't be used, a link card is posted instead.
  • If you edit the page before a scheduled time, the latest version is posted.

When a scheduled post won't go out

At the scheduled time, Simply CMS checks that the page is still live. If the page has been hidden, or it's outside its Publish Date / Hide Date window, the post isn't made and is marked Failed. You get the same warning in yellow when you schedule a post for a time when the page won't be live.

Banners and videos

Banners and videos have a Social Media tab too. Scheduling for banners and videos is available for Facebook only. Other networks post immediately.
