If the bot is offline for a while, do my posts vanish?

No. Recurring posts move to the next valid slot and keep running; one-off posts older than an hour are marked missed and can be run manually. And no post is ever sent twice.

Will the AI text sound robotic?

You control tone and length, and can rewrite any draft to be shorter or livelier. RSS items come out as a summary in your requested tone, not a raw reprint.

Can one post go to several groups?

Yes. Select multiple target groups and the post is delivered to each. If delivery to one fails, only that group is retried.

How often are RSS feeds checked?

On a regular cycle in the background. The dashboard shows the last check time, and a built-in guard limits how many new items a single check can post.

What does Run Now do?

It sends the post immediately, outside its schedule — useful for testing a draft or pushing a missed one-off post.

What media can I attach?

Photos, video, documents, and audio, plus inline link buttons. RSS-sourced posts include an AI summary and a link to the original article.

Content scheduler and RSS: keep your group fed

In short

The scheduler posts for you — once, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly — in your timezone, to one group or many at once, with media, buttons, pin, silent and content-protection options. An AI assistant writes or rewrites the text in the tone and length you pick. Content sources connect RSS or Atom feeds that become ready posts with an AI summary and a link to the original. Delivery survives downtime and never sends duplicates.

1What the scheduler does

The scheduler lets you decide what to publish and when, and then the bot posts it on schedule in the right timezone — to a single group or several at once.

The scheduler turns a month of content into an evening of setup: recurring slots, RSS sources and AI rewriting are configured once that then runs itself, so your group always has a steady heartbeat of activity.

2Schedule types

Every post runs on the cadence you need, evaluated in the timezone you set so daily and weekly posts land at the local hour you expect.

Once — a single post at a specific date and time.
Hourly — repeats every hour.
Daily — repeats each day at your chosen time.
Weekly — on the weekdays you pick.
Monthly — on the dates you pick.

3Publishing options

Each post carries a set of switches for how it lands and what it contains, so one schedule can be a silent pinned announcement and another a rich media post.

Pin after posting, send silently, or protect content from forwarding and copying.
Remove the previous post of the same schedule — perfect for a post of the day that should not pile up.
Attach media: photo, video, document, or audio.
Add inline link buttons.
Send one post to several target groups at once.

4The AI writing assistant

Inside the post form, the AI assistant can write from scratch on a topic — you pick the tone (professional, friendly, hype, or informative), the length (short, medium, or long), the language, and whether to use emoji.

It also rewrites text you already have: make it shorter, expand it, change the tone, add emoji, translate it, or give it your own custom instruction. The model sticks to your topic and does not invent facts beyond what you provide.

For fully automated content ideas rather than one post at a time, add the AI community manager content plan on top of the scheduler.

5RSS and Atom content sources

In content sources you connect any RSS or Atom feed — industry news, your own blog, a YouTube channel — and the bot turns fresh items into ready posts with a short, meaningful AI summary and a link to the original.

You set the feed URL, a tone-and-language instruction, target groups, and a mode: draft (a disabled scheduled post you approve) or auto (published straight away). The bot checks feeds on a regular cycle and shows the last check time so you can see it is alive.

First connection does not dump the archive — only the single newest item is posted, then only genuinely new entries.
The same item never posts twice, so your group never sees a repeat.
A built-in guard caps how many new posts one check can send, so a bursty feed cannot flood the group.
Slow or oversized feeds are handled gracefully, so a misbehaving feed never holds up the bot.

6Reliability: nothing lost, no duplicates

The scheduler is built to survive downtime. If the bot was unavailable at posting time, recurring posts roll forward to the next valid slot and keep going, while one-off posts older than an hour are marked missed and can be sent manually with Run Now.

Every post goes out exactly once. If delivery to one group in a multi-group post fails, it retries after a growing pause and only re-sends to the groups that failed — successful groups never get a duplicate.

Statuses in the table make it clear at a glance: queued, running, sent, error, or missed. Run Now sends immediately, outside the schedule.

7Best practices

Treat the scheduler as your content calendar. Batch a set of recurring posts, use the AI assistant to keep them fresh, and let a couple of trusted feeds fill the gaps.

Set your timezone first so daily and weekly posts land at the local hour you mean.
Use remove-previous for a rotating post of the day so old ones do not pile up.
Start new RSS feeds in draft mode to check the summary quality before going auto.
Protect content on posts you do not want forwarded or copied.
Send one announcement to several groups at once instead of duplicating it by hand.

8Common mistakes

Scheduling problems are usually about timezone, permissions, or a feed that does not behave the way you expected.

Leaving the timezone at a default that is not yours, so posts land at odd hours.
Not giving the bot rights to pin, so the pin option silently does nothing.
Expecting a new RSS feed to replay its whole archive — only the newest item posts on first connect.
Setting an hourly post and then wondering why the group feels spammy — match cadence to your audience.
