Schedule your Facebook & Instagram posts using Facebook Planner

The Meta Business Suite platform offers you the flexibility to create a post and schedule it to publish on your Facebook page and Instagram profile in the future. You can schedule posts to be published as soon as 20 minutes ahead and up to 29 days away.

To schedule a post on Facebook and Instagram:

Click the blue Create post

From the Post to dropdown menu, tick your Facebook page (and/or) Instagram profile

IMPORTANT:

When posting to both Facebook and Instagram, toggle Customise post for Facebook and Instagram, then switch between the Facebook and Instagram tabs to modify the text for each platform.

TIP:

Avoid including website links in your Instagram text since they will not be clickable or hyperlinked. Instead, consider using external tools such as Linktr.ee to turn your bio into your own mini website.

Sign up for a free Linktr.ee account and utilise the Link in Bio tool on Instagram.

Follow the prompts to create your post. A preview will be displayed on the right.

Then, select Schedule in the Scheduling options section and choose your Date(s) and Time(s)

Click Schedule to finish.

Your post is now in the publishing queue.

See a complete step-by-step guide on how to create and schedule posts and Story’s on Meta Business Suite.

The Facebook Planner screen will then appear in calendar view where you can see all your published and scheduled posts for both Facebook and Instagram.
