How to Schedule Posts in RightBlogger

Q: How do I schedule a post for the next open spot vs a custom date and time?

When you schedule a post in RightBlogger, you can pick Next available slot or set a Custom date and time. Use Next available slot when you are planning in bulk and just want RightBlogger to fill your calendar in order. Use Custom date and time when a post needs to go out on a specific day, like a product launch, holiday, or event recap. You can always reschedule later from the Content Planner if plans change.

RightBlogger helps you plan your content ahead of time. You can build a steady posting schedule, keep several sites organized, or use auto blogging to save time. With our scheduling tools, you can send content straight to your Content Planner, pick the exact day a post goes live, or let RightBlogger choose the next open spot for you.

This guide will show you every way to schedule posts inside RightBlogger.

Why Scheduling Matters

Scheduling lets you control when your content goes live, giving you more consistency and better results across your blog or business. With a steady publishing rhythm, you’ll see improvements in:

SEO performance
Traffic from Google and AI platforms
Content organization across multiple projects
Your ability to plan content weeks or months ahead

Whether you’re manually scheduling content or using Auto Blogging, your planner handles everything for you.

Scheduling from the Content Planner

The Content Planner is your central hub for controlling when posts get published.

Inside your planner, you can:

Automatically populate posts through automations
Add new posts directly to the calendar
Click any scheduled post to edit, optimize, or update its publish time

Adding a New Post From the Planner

To manually add content to your schedule:

Open the Content Planner from the left sidebar.
Click New Post in the top-right corner.
Choose one of two options:
- Select from your existing content library, or
- Generate a brand new article with AI
Choose the integration (WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Duda, etc.) you want to publish to.
Select:
- Next available slot, or
- Custom date & time
Click Schedule.

Your post will now appear on the calendar.

Scheduling Using the “Send To” Button

You can also schedule content from almost anywhere inside RightBlogger—including generated articles, rewritten content, YouTube to Blogs, and more.

At the bottom of most tools, you’ll see a Send To button.

Here’s how to use it:

Click Send To.
Choose your connected CMS in the dropdown.
Toggle Auto Schedule Post on (this is the new setting).
When enabled, your post will be sent to the planner instead of being published immediately.

What Auto Schedule Does

When the Auto Schedule Post switch is turned on:

Your content is sent directly to the next available slot in your Content Planner.
This works even if you’re not inside the planner.
It gives you the same scheduling control but from any tool.

This is perfect for creators who want to generate content in bulk and schedule everything without jumping between screens.

Rescheduling a Post

To change when a post publishes:

Open your Content Planner.
Click the post you want to adjust.
Edit the date, time, integration, or content.

Easy.

Using Scheduling with Auto Blogging

If you’re using Auto Blogging, RightBlogger will automatically generate content and add it to your planner based on the frequency you choose:

Daily
Weekly
Monthly

Your scheduled content will appear on your calendar with an icon showing which automation it belongs to.

You can still edit, move, or optimize these posts at any time.

Best Practices for Scheduling

To get the most out of your planner:

Review posts before they go live (especially AI-generated content)
Use SEO Reports + Auto-Optimize for better rankings
Maintain a consistent publishing rhythm
Keep each project organized with its own content schedule
Use Auto Schedule when generating content across multiple tools

What is the Content Planner, and how does it help me schedule posts?

The Content Planner is RightBlogger’s calendar where you control when posts will publish.

You can add new posts, see what is coming up, and keep different sites or projects organized in one place.

It also makes it easy to click any scheduled post to edit the content or change the publish time before it goes live. If you are new to the workflow, this scheduling help page is a good reference to keep handy.

How do I schedule a post for the next open spot vs a custom date and time?

When you schedule a post in RightBlogger, you can pick Next available slot or set a Custom date and time.

Use Next available slot when you are planning in bulk and just want RightBlogger to fill your calendar in order.

Use Custom date and time when a post needs to go out on a specific day, like a product launch, holiday, or event recap. You can always reschedule later from the Content Planner if plans change.

What does “Auto Schedule Post” do in the Send To button?

Auto Schedule Post sends your content to your Content Planner instead of publishing it right away.

This works from many RightBlogger tools, so you can write or generate content and schedule it without jumping back to the planner.

It is especially helpful when you are creating a lot of posts at once, because each one can land in the next open calendar slot. For more content creation workflows, you can pair this with the RightBlogger AI Article Writer and then schedule posts as you finish them.

Can I reschedule a post after it is already on the calendar?

Yes. You can change the publish date and time anytime before it goes live.

Open the Content Planner, click the post, and update the date, time, integration, or the content itself.

This is useful if your priorities change, you want to spread posts out, or you need to move content to a different site. It also helps you keep a steady posting rhythm without losing your work.

How does scheduling work with Auto Blogging and automations?

With Auto Blogging, RightBlogger can generate posts automatically and add them to your planner based on the schedule you choose.

You can set a frequency like daily, weekly, or monthly, and the posts show up on your calendar so you can review them.

Even with automation, you stay in control. You can edit, move, or optimize any scheduled post before it publishes. If you want to learn how the rules and setups work, the automations guide explains the full process.

How can I make sure my scheduled posts are SEO-ready before they publish?

Review and improve each post before it goes live, especially if it was AI-generated.

A simple workflow is to draft the post, add it to your schedule, then run an SEO check and polish the content a day or two before publishing.

RightBlogger helps by making it easy to optimize content while it is still in the planner. Using SEO Reports can help you spot missing keywords, weak headings, or other quick fixes that improve rankings over time.
