Enjoy the convenience of auto publishing while maintaining full control over your content release schedule.

Imagine you want to automatically publish all your existing (and upcoming) TikTok videos to different platforms at specific times. For instance, to Facebook Reels between 9am and 11am, to YouTube Shorts between 10am and noon, to Instagram Reels between 11am and 1pm, and to X between 2pm and 5pm. You can now easily configure that inside of Repurpose.io with a few clicks.

What the video below to see how it works ...




Here's what you need to know:


all workflows can have auto publishing schedules.
1 video will be published within each time slot
each time slot must be at least 2 hours
you can add up to 5 time slots per day.



Selecting which content to Auto Publish



You now have the ability to set auto publish schedules for:
only new (upcoming) content.
both new (upcoming) and existing content.

If you choose to include existing content in your schedule you have the following options:
all content
content created on or after a specific date
content created on or before a specific date

If you prefer your new (upcoming) content to publish automatically as soon as possible (instead of based on an auto publish schedule), you can still choose to do that when you turn your workflow into "auto mode". This only applies to new (upcoming content) and you existing content will not be auto published.

Simply switch between Manual and Auto by clicking on it. This can be triggered on the main dashboard or inside of the View Content page.
