Queues (schedule posts without babysitting timestamps)

Hi there,

Scheduling posts one by one is fine… until you have more than five on thant. At that point you’re no longer “planning content”, you’re dragging timestamps around like it’s your full-time job.

So we built Queues.

Instead of assigning a specific time to every post, you define time slots during the week, and Postproxy takes care of placing posts into those slots automatically.

Here’s how it works.

Flexible scheduling

You define when you want to publish. For example:

  • Monday — 18:30

  • Tuesday — 19:15

  • Thursday — 08:00, 18:00

When you add or remove posts, or change the schedule, the queue automatically redistributes everything.

No manual fixing required.

Priorities

Each post can have a priority (high / medium / low).

Queues use that to decide what goes out first. Same priority → older post wins.

Simple, predictable, no hidden logic.

Jitter (so you don’t look like a robot)

You can add a small random delay around each slot.

Instead of posting at exactly 18:30 every time, it shifts slightly. Small detail, but it makes automated posting look less… automated.

Pause when needed

You can pause a queue entirely. Nothing gets published while paused. When you resume, posts are redistributed across upcoming slots instead of firing all at once.


Everything is available via API as well, so you can fully integrate queues into your workflows:

Queues are especially useful if you’re:

  • running ongoing content pipelines

  • automating publishing with AI

  • managing multiple brands or channels

  • trying to keep a consistent posting rhythm without thinking about it daily

Cheers,
Dmitry
