Open a task brief
See everything you need to schedule one piece of content, and copy the caption.
What it's for
Each scheduling task has a brief: the account, what to post, for which fans, at what price and when. Open it before you schedule the content on the creator's account.
Before you start
- You're signed in as a Scheduler.
- You have at least one scheduling task. For a full test, ask the administrator to add a caption, a price, an expiry time and a content folder link to one of them.
Steps
Open the task
On My schedule, click the task's account name in its row. A panel opens on the right.
Read the top of the panel
The title is the account and the kind of content, for example @jane.example · Feed post. Under it you see the creator and the planned time. Then the status badge, and Expired if the expiry time has passed.
Read the details
- Audience: All fans, Free fans, Paid fans, Expired fans or Custom list.
- Price: the price in dollars, or Free.
- Time zone: the time zone the task was planned in, for example America/New_York.
- Expires: when the content should stop, or — when there is no expiry.
The kind of content is one of Feed post, Mass message, Story or Campaign.
Copy the caption
Under Caption, click Copy caption. A message says Caption copied. Paste it where you schedule the content. If the task has no caption, the panel says No caption. and there is no copy button.
Open the content
Click Open content folder to open the folder with the photos or videos in a new browser tab. The button only shows when the administrator added a folder link.
Read the notes
Notes and history shows the administrator's notes and one line for each step taken on the task, for example [2026-10-22 14:05 ET · Jane Example] Issue: The folder is empty. It only shows when there is something to read.
What you should see
- Under the details, the buttons to finish the task (see Mark a task scheduled).
- On a cancelled task: This task was cancelled by an admin. and no Mark scheduled or Report issue button (Copy caption and Open content folder still work).
- To close the panel, click the cross at the top right, press Esc, or click outside it.
Test checklist
Good to know
You can't change a task's details (time, caption, price, account). If something in the brief is wrong, report an issue and say what's wrong. An administrator edits the task.
