Why Manual Posting Takes So Much Time
When you are publishing the same content to multiple platforms, the friction adds up fast.
Every time you want to publish content, you face the same painful workflow: log into Facebook, paste your post, change the caption for that platform, upload images, post. Then switch to Instagram, repeat. Then LinkedIn. Then TikTok. Then X (Twitter). Then Pinterest. Each platform has its own login, its own upload flow, its own format preferences.
And that is just the posting part. You also need to remember to post at the right time. Maybe Instagram performs better at 9 AM, but LinkedIn is best at noon. You either post everything at once and miss the optimal windows, or you spend the whole day checking the clock and logging back in.
For someone managing social media for a client, a business, or even their own brands, this workflow turns 20 minutes of content creation into two hours of platform hopping.
How to Set Up Automated Posting
Here is the complete step-by-step process.
Connect All Your Social Accounts
Start by authorizing your social media accounts in a central hub. This is where Aidelly comes in. Connect Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Bluesky, Threads, Pinterest, Mastodon, or Google Business Profiles. Use OAuth to securely link each platform, so Aidelly can post on your behalf without storing passwords.
Create Your Posts in One Place
Write or paste your content once. Upload images or videos. No need to recreate it for each platform. Then select which platforms you want to publish to. You can post to all of them at once or select specific channels.
Schedule Posts at Optimal Times
Pick when each post should go live. You can choose different times for different platforms based on when your audience is most active. Set it for next week, next month, or even further ahead. Aidelly remembers and publishes exactly when you specify.
Use Queues for Continuous Automation
Create content queues that automatically pull posts from your library and publish them on a schedule you define. Load up a queue with 20 pieces of content. Aidelly posts one post every morning, every afternoon, or every day. Your social feeds stay active even when you are not creating new content.
Monitor and Adjust
View your scheduled posts in a calendar. See what is coming up. Edit or reschedule posts before they publish. Once posts go live, track engagement and performance. Use this data to improve your timing and content strategy.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about automating social media posting.
Can I automate posting to all social media platforms at once?
Yes. Aidelly connects to 11 platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Bluesky, Threads, Pinterest, Mastodon, and Google Business Profiles. You can post to all of them simultaneously or choose specific ones.
How do I handle platform-specific content requirements?
You can customize captions for each platform if needed. Write your main content, then adjust the version for LinkedIn or TikTok to match their style. You can also choose to post different content to different platforms entirely.
What happens if I need to edit a scheduled post?
You can edit or delete any scheduled post before it publishes. View your entire schedule in the calendar, make changes, and save. Once a post goes live, you can delete it from Aidelly and it will be removed from the platforms.
How far in advance can I schedule posts?
You can schedule posts as far into the future as you want. Many users batch schedule 3, 6, or even 12 months of content in a single session.
How do auto-post queues work?
Create a queue and add 10, 20, or 50 pieces of content to it. Set the posting frequency, for example every morning at 8 AM or twice a day. Aidelly automatically pulls posts from the queue and publishes them on your schedule, keeping your feed fresh without manual work.
