Posting regularly matters more than posting a lot. A good schedule gives your audience a reason to expect you, and it stops you from posting five times on Monday and nothing for the rest of the week. This guide shows how to build a steady weekly rhythm in LAS AutoPost using queue slots, the calendar, the evergreen library and bulk import, and how to use your own numbers to adjust it.
Start with the weekly queue
A queue slot is a time of the week for one destination, such as Monday 09:00 or Thursday 17:30. Open Queue and set slots for each destination. There is a helper that copies Monday's slots to every day. When you compose a post, choose Add to queue instead of a fixed time, and the post takes the next free slot for each destination. You can reorder the queue up and down, shuffle it, post something now, or skip a slot (the post moves to the next free one).
A sensible starting point is one to three slots a day on your main channel and fewer on the rest. Our advice is to begin lower than you think you need. You can always add slots; an audience that has been over-posted at is harder to win back.
Time zones
Times are stored in UTC and shown in the workspace time zone, which defaults to Africa/Lagos. If a teammate lives elsewhere, they can change their own display time zone under Settings → My time zone without changing anyone else's schedule.
Use the calendar to see the whole picture
The Calendar shows a month, week or day. Drag a post onto another day to move it; it keeps its time of day. Sent posts and past days are locked. You can filter by destination, feed and status, and evergreen posts are marked. Two helpers matter for planning: gaps show days with no posts, and over-posting warnings show a destination that is getting too much.
Fill quiet days with evergreen posts
Not everything you publish goes out of date. A how-to guide or a product explanation can be useful months later. The evergreen library stores such posts in categories with a recycle interval and a maximum number of recycles. When a slot in the next 24 hours is empty, AutoPost fills it from the library, and evergreen posts always give up their slot to new queue posts, so fresh content comes first. You can turn on an optional AI rewrite so a recycled post is not word for word the same; it falls back to the original text if the AI fails or breaks the rules.
You can build the library from scratch, or press Make evergreen on any post you have already published.
Load many posts at once with CSV
If you plan a month in a spreadsheet, Bulk CSV lets you download a template, fill it in and paste or upload it. Nothing is saved until every row is valid: you get a preview with errors and warnings per cell. Rows can be scheduled at an exact time, put in the queue, saved as evergreen or kept in the library only. You can also export any date range back to CSV.
Let your own results adjust the plan
After a few weeks, open Analytics. It shows totals compared with the previous period, top posts, feeds, topics and referrers, and the best hours and days in your local time. When there is enough history, the posting-time suggestions come from your own data; until then they use general platform norms. Short links separate human clicks from bots, so a link-preview crawler does not make a post look more popular than it was.
To test a caption, use A/B caption tests. Two tracked variants run at alternating times or on split destinations, and a winner is only declared when there are enough human clicks, enough time and a significance check passes. Otherwise the result is "no clear winner", which is an honest answer.
A simple weekly template
- Monday: publish your main piece (an article or video) and let the feed autopilot post it.
- Tuesday to Thursday: one evergreen post per day from the library.
- Friday: a short clip made from a longer video, approved in the video studio.
- Weekend: one light post, or none. Use quiet hours to protect your own time.
Review the Analytics page once a week for ten minutes and move slots toward the hours that real people clicked.
