How to schedule a Facebook comment or share

This SND Dashboard feature allows you to get conversations started and keep driving meaningful social interactions on Facebook. You can schedule both comments and shares to post automatically after a certain period of time. It’s a great way to ask a follow-up question or add additional information to a story and to even self-promote and drive reach.

Creating a Scheduled Interaction in Post Composer

Click on the Scheduled Interactions tab.

Click on the Comment and/or Share button to start creating your scheduled interaction. You can add multiple comments to keep the conversation going.

COMMENT: Type your comment, choose your timing, then click the Add Comment button to add it to the schedule. 

Note: You can use relative timing or exact timing. Toggle the two by clicking the highlighted button below.



SHARE: Click on the dropdown to select the Facebook Pages you want to share the post. Then choose your timing and click the Add Share button.

You will find your scheduled interactions under "Currently Scheduled."  You can delete a scheduled interaction by clicking on the trash can icon.

Once the post goes out, the timer starts ticking for the delay on any comments and shares you’ve scheduled. You’ll see the interactions happen without lifting a finger!

Creating a Scheduled Interaction from the Timeline

To schedule a share or comment on a post that has already been published, open the Timeline for the Facebook Page using the "Add to Dashboard" button on the left rail. Note: you must have access to the page as a Publisher in order to initiate a scheduled interaction.

Click the three-dot menu on the post, then click Scheduled Interactions.

Enter the information for your scheduled share or comment, then click Add Share or Add Comment.

You will then see your scheduled interactions saved in the list.
