Scheduling a post
In the composer's Schedule step, pick a date and time. The time must be in the future - past times are rejected. You can schedule up to one year ahead; if you pick a date more than ~2.5 months out you'll see a friendly heads-up (Instagram best practice), but it won't block you.
Scheduled posts are published automatically within a minute of their scheduled time.
The calendar
The Calendar page shows all your posts laid out by day, color-coded by status (draft, scheduled, published, failed). Use it to spot gaps in your posting schedule and to jump straight into any post.
Previewing, editing and deleting from the calendar
Hover over a post in the calendar (or click it to keep the card open) to see a preview card: the image or video thumbnail, the full text, the networks and accounts it goes to, the date and time with your timezone, its status and approval state. For published posts the card also shows views, likes, comments and shares per network. Where a network does not share a number, you will see n/a. If a post failed, the reason is shown on the card.
Use Edit on the card to open the post. Use Delete to remove it. Before anything is deleted, Flomixy asks you to confirm and tells you exactly where the post will be removed.
- Scheduled posts and drafts are removed from Flomixy and taken out of the queue.
- Published posts can also be removed from the network when it allows that. Some networks do not let Flomixy delete posts (Instagram, for example). In that case the post is removed from Flomixy only, and the confirmation tells you to remove it in the network's own app. After deleting, you see the result for each network.
If you only have view access, the card shows the details and an Open post button, but no Edit or Delete.
Pausing a scheduled post
Need to hold a post back without deleting it? Open the post menu (⋯) on the Posts list or the post page and choose Pause. The post gets a Paused badge, keeps its scheduled time, and will not be published while it is paused. It stays on the calendar with a dashed look so you can still see where it sits.
To publish it again, choose Resume:
- If the scheduled time is still in the future, the post goes back to Scheduled right away.
- If the scheduled time has already passed, Flomixy asks you to pick a new time and suggests the next free slot. A paused post is never published by surprise.
You can find paused posts in the Paused tab of the Posts list. Only team members who are allowed to publish posts see the Pause and Resume actions.
When publishing fails
If a scheduled post fails to publish (for example the Instagram connection expired), the post is marked Failed, and everyone in the workspace sees a notification in the bell icon at the top. Open the post to see the reason - if it's a connection problem, a Reconnect account button takes you straight to the fix, and you can retry the post afterwards.
Why "Publish now" or "Schedule" is unavailable
Each network has its own minimum, and a post that doesn't meet it can't go out. Instead of failing later, Flomixy tells you up front:
- Instagram and TikTok need at least one image or video. A text-only post can't be published or scheduled there.
- Threads, Facebook, LinkedIn and Telegram accept text-only posts, but the post needs a caption or media. An empty post is rejected.
If a network is missing something, Publish now is greyed out, and the post card in your Posts list shows a short note such as "Image missing for Instagram". On the edit page, a warning names the network and Save stays disabled while a date is set. Add the missing image or caption (or remove that network from the post) and the buttons turn back on. Drafts without a date can always be saved, so you can finish them later.
This also helps with drafts that arrive from an RSS feed or an AI assistant: they appear in your list as drafts, and the note tells you exactly what is missing before you publish.
