How to Schedule Recurring Social Posts in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Sparkforge's Social Planner lets you set evergreen posts to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Edit the parent to update every scheduled child, or edit a single occurrence on its own.

Recurring posts let you keep evergreen content flowing across your connected social accounts on a schedule you set once. The Social Planner handles the cadence; you handle the message.

What Recurring Posts Do

Cadence options: repeat every day, week, month, or year. Pick specific weekdays, a date range, and a post time.
Parent and child posts: the parent is the master; each scheduled occurrence is a child. Edits to the parent replicate to every child. Editing one child does not affect the parent.
Media: attach images or video from your library, or generate visuals with AI.
Management: all recurring posts live in Content > Recurring Posts with edit and delete controls.

When to Use It

Seasonal promos and holiday campaigns scheduled once for the year.
Daily quotes, weekly tips, or monthly product showcases.
Recurring event reminders (webinars, classes, community meetups).
Reposting cornerstone blog or podcast content for new followers.

How to Schedule a Recurring Post

Go to Marketing > Social Planner.
Click New post, then Create New post.
Pick the social account(s). If none are connected, set up the schedule and the planner will prompt you to connect before saving.
Choose a recurrence: Day, Week, Month, or Year. Set the date range and post time.
Save. The parent post lands in Content > Recurring Posts.

Editing and Deleting

Content tab (parent view)

Edit: updates every scheduled occurrence with the new date, time, or content.
Delete: removes the parent and every recurring child.

Calendar view (per occurrence)

Edit: updates that single scheduled post only.
Delete: removes that single occurrence.

List view

Shows the next scheduled post. Edit or delete affects that occurrence only.

Things to Watch

Twitter/X: may flag near-identical recurring content. Vary copy or media for repeated posts on the same day.
Time zones: the schedule uses your account time zone. Set timing for the audience you actually want to reach.
Sensitive moments: review the queue during news events or crises before scheduled posts go out.
Per-platform copy: use Customize Each Post when character limits or formatting differ across networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I schedule a recurring post for an annual holiday?

Yes. Set the recurrence to Year, then pick the date and time for the annual post.

If I edit the parent post, do the scheduled posts change?

Yes. Editing the parent replicates the change to every child. Editing a single child only changes that occurrence.

Can I pause a recurring post series temporarily?

No. There is no pause option. Delete the series or edit specific occurrences if you need to skip dates.

Can I use different content per network in one recurring schedule?

Yes. Use Customize Each Post to tailor copy and media per platform within the same schedule.

Can I include images and video in a recurring post?

Yes. Attach images, video, or GIFs from your library, or generate images with AI inside the editor.
