How to Schedule a Week of Posts Across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok (Step by Step)

Yes — you can plan, write, and schedule a full week of posts across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok in one sitting, from one composer, without opening a single extra tab. This walks through the exact flow: picking accounts, writing one caption that adapts per platform, choosing the right scheduling option for each post, and what to do when something needs a custom tweak for just one network.

Key takeaways

  • One composer screen posts to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok at once — no per-platform logins.
  • Four scheduling options exist: Next Available, Prioritize, Now, and Set Date and Time — they're not interchangeable, see the table below.
  • "Customize for each network" lets one post have a different caption per platform without creating three separate posts.
  • Draft saves exist specifically for a post you're not ready to schedule yet — it won't publish until you come back and schedule it.

Before You Start: Connect the Accounts You're Posting To

The composer can only post to accounts that are already connected under Social Accounts. If you haven't connected Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok yet, do that first — the composer's channel picker only shows accounts that are already linked, and a platform with nothing connected simply won't appear as an option.

Step 1: Open the Composer and Pick Your Platforms

From the dashboard, open Create Post. Across the top you'll see a badge for each connected account — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, whichever you've linked. Click a badge to select it; selected accounts show at full opacity, everything else stays dimmed. You can select any combination: just TikTok, all three, or Facebook and Instagram together while leaving TikTok out of this particular post.

💡Tip: Select all the platforms you're planning to use for the week's content before you start writing. It's easier to notice a caption is too long for one platform while you're still writing it, not after you've already scheduled four posts the same way.

Step 2: Write the Caption

Type into the main composer box — this is the caption every selected platform will use by default. Add media (photo or video) using the attach button, or pull something in directly from your Media Library, Canva, Unsplash, Google Drive, Google Photos, or Dropbox without leaving the composer. If you're stuck on wording, AI Assist can draft a starting caption from a one-line description, which you can then edit rather than publish as-is.

If a Caption Needs to Differ Per Platform

Not every caption should be identical across networks — a TikTok caption is usually shorter and more casual than a Facebook one. Click Customize for each network or account to branch off a per-platform version of the caption without creating a second, separate post. The media stays shared; only the text (and hashtags, if you add them) diverges.

Step 3: Choose How It Gets Published

This is the step most new users get wrong — not because it's complicated, but because "Next Available" is the default and isn't always what you actually want for every post in a week's batch.

Next AvailableDrops the post into the next open slot in your posting queue.You're batch-scheduling a week of content and don't care about the exact minute, just the order.
PrioritizeBumps the post to the front of the queue, ahead of anything already waiting.Something time-relevant just came up and needs to go out before the rest of this week's queue.
NowPublishes immediately, skipping the queue entirely.You're not scheduling ahead at all — this post is meant to go live the moment you hit the button.
Set Date and TimeLocks the post to an exact date and time you choose (Nepal time).A festival post, a launch, or anything tied to a specific moment that can't shift even slightly.

For a normal week of content, Next Available is usually right — queue up all seven posts in one sitting and let them fill your existing posting rhythm in order. Reach for Set Date and Time only for the posts that are actually anchored to a real moment, like a Dashain greeting that has to land the morning the festival starts.

Step 4: Draft, Schedule, or Publish

If the post isn't ready — you're waiting on a final product photo, or approval from someone else — use Save Draft instead of scheduling it. A draft sits untouched until you come back and actively schedule it; it never publishes on its own. Once everything's set, the main button scheduling it reads Schedule Post (or publishes immediately, if you picked Now) — click it, and that post is done.

Repeat for the Rest of the Week, Then Check the Calendar

Do this once per post until the week's content is queued. Afterward, open the content calendar to see everything laid out by day — this is also where you can drag a scheduled post to a different day if your plan changes, without reopening the composer and redoing it from scratch.

⚡Pro tip: Batch the writing first, across all seven posts, before scheduling any of them. Switching between "write mode" and "schedule mode" repeatedly is slower than finishing all the captions back to back, then going through and assigning scheduling options in a second pass.

FAQ: Can One Post Really Go to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok at the Same Time?

Yes, as long as the accounts are connected and selected in the composer — it's one publish action that sends the appropriate version of the post to each platform's API. The one exception is TikTok specifically: it only accepts a single video per post, so if you've attached multiple images or videos, only the first video is sent to TikTok while the rest publish normally to the other selected platforms.
