Are you creating a new post in the Social Media Scheduler? Great! You begin an effective workflow enabling your team to cooperate on every post and approve the final version with your client. How?👇
Status & Publishing Flow
Every post needs to have a status that reflects the current stage in your planning and publishing process. The Scheduler App comes with a set of default statuses that can be assigned manually to your posts (these can be customized, too).
Private Draft
In Progress
Needs Review
Approved
Besides those, we have two system statuses that can't be deleted or changed.
Published – is assigned to a post once automatically published to your social media.
Error – is assigned in case of any issue with the automatic publication.
Move the post on the scale of statuses as needed, add more statuses like "Needs Graphics", "To Approve", or "To Rework", for example. You can create your own system in ZoomSphere that fits your needs the best.
Hashtags Suggestions and Templates
With hashtag suggestions, you can find the right hashtags for your field or industry. At the same time, you will see the "size" of the hashtag – how many times it was used in a post on Instagram.
Image Editor
You can edit your images right in the Scheduler app while working on your post.
Crop your photos fast & easy with presets.
Apply filters to your photos.
Rotate, Clip and Zoom your images.
Idea Post
Ideas posts are a great tool to quickly share notes and plans for a content plan across your team.
You can move them around the calendar as a regular post – drag & drop it.
Dark Post
A dark post is a paid post published to Facebook, but it is not visible on your Timeline.
Instagram Feed
A great feature – you can plan content visually!
You can choose what you see on the Feed because you can select the Statuses that will be visible there.
You can move your posts around in the calendar view and you will see these changes in the Instagram Feed.
Automatic Publishing to Instagram
We have a new feature – Auto Publish – which will allow you to post directly to Instagram without the need for manual posting using push notifications on your phone.
What is supported:
Single photo posts
Carousel
Reels
Location tagging
There are some limitations:
25 published posts within a 24 hour period – but you can post more posts natively from Instagram or using ZoomSphere manual posting (with a push notification to your phone)
IG Stories are not supported
Branded content tags and shopping tags are not supported
Filters are not supported – only if you use manual posting via the ZoomSphere mobile app

Instagram Stories
After you schedule your Stories, use our ZoomSphere mobile app which will help you publish them within just a few steps in the Instagram app on your phone.
You can add text or URL, as well as emojis to go along with your Story. The text will be copied by the ZoomSphere mobile app and you will be able to paste it into the Instagram native app during the publishing process. 👌
Automatic publishing supported for:
Facebook – Image post, Photo carousel post, Link/Text post, Video/Animated GIF post
LinkedIn – Photo, Text or Link post
Twitter – Photo, Video, and GIF posts
TikTok - video post
Please note that the maximum length of scheduling Approved Facebook posts is 75 days. In case you need to schedule the post further than that, schedule the post and Approve it later to avoid the Error notification.
