How to Use Timeslots to Automate Your Posting Schedule in OneUp

Manually picking a date and time for every single post is tedious, and it's easy to lose track of whether you're posting too often or leaving gaps. OneUp's Timeslots feature turns your posting schedule into something you set up once and then just feed content into.

How Timeslots work in OneUp

  • Create pre-set posting times — define the days and times you want to post (e.g. Monday/Wednesday/Friday at 9am), once, instead of picking a date and time for every post
  • Add posts to the queue, not a specific date — assign a post to your Timeslots, and OneUp fills the next available slot automatically
  • Combine with repeating posts — set a post to repeat "as per your timeslots," and it automatically slides into the queue every time it repeats, without you doing the math on whether it overlaps with something else
  • Different timeslot sets per platform or account — set different posting cadences for different networks if your strategy calls for it

Who this is for

Timeslots are most useful for anyone maintaining a consistent posting cadence — a set number of posts per week — without wanting to manually pick a date and time every single time they add something to the queue.

Getting started

From the OneUp dashboard, set up your Timeslots under scheduling settings, then assign posts to the queue instead of specific dates.
