Build an Automated Social Media Post Scheduler
Create a platform where users can compose posts, schedule them, and auto-publish to Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more with content calendars and analytics.Managing consistent posting across multiple social media platforms manually is time-consuming and inefficient. Brands and creators need automation tools to schedule posts in advance, maintain content calendars, and analyze engagement data easily.
This system allows users to compose posts (text, images, videos), select target platforms, set scheduled times, and automatically publish the content. It also provides content calendar views, analytics dashboards, and draft-saving options, creating a complete social media management solution.
Cross-Platform Scheduling
Create once and schedule posts across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more simultaneously.
Content Calendar Management
Visualize all upcoming posts in a monthly/weekly calendar view, allowing easy adjustments and rescheduling.
Drafts and Post Templates
Save posts as drafts, create reusable templates for promotions, announcements, and recurring campaigns.
Performance Analytics
Track engagement, reach, and follower growth post-by-post across multiple platforms inside unified dashboards.
Users connect their social media accounts through platform APIs. They can then compose posts, upload media, schedule publishing times, and assign platforms. The system queues posts and publishes them at the right time automatically. Calendar views and analytics help users optimize future content.
- Authenticate and connect user accounts to various social media platforms using OAuth flows.
- Provide a unified dashboard to compose and preview posts across different platforms.
- Allow users to schedule posts with exact dates and times for future publishing.
- Use background job queues or cron jobs to automate post publishing accurately.
- Offer analytics dashboards to review post performance and engagement insights.
