Using Smart Share or scheduling shares

When sharing content, you can schedule your share to be published at a later date and time. There are two options for this: Smart Share and scheduling a share. You can schedule shares for LinkedIn and X. If you change your mind about the share before it's published, you can cancel it.

Schedule a share

  1. Select Schedule share in the sharing window.
  2. Choose a date and time for when the post should be shared. The time is set according to your computer's time zone.
  3. Select Schedule.

Your share is scheduled! You can view your scheduled shares in View My Insights.

Use Smart Share

To Smart Share, simply select Smart Share in the sharing window.

With Smart Share, your shares are automatically scheduled to publish at optimal times for each network. Each Smart Share will be shared within 7 days of selection. You will not see the exact date and time your post will be shared, as these can change dynamically based on the number of posts that you Smart Share.

There is a limit of 100 shares per week per social network via Smart Share. If that limit is met, you'll be instructed to schedule the time manually or use Share now.

Optimal time slots

The optimal time slots for sharing on LinkedIn and X are determined based on generally recommended times that Haiilo has found in our research to be when people are most engaged on social media.

  • LinkedIn: Your share is published either between 8:00-9:00 or 12:00-12:30.
  • X: Your share is published between 12:00-15:00.

By default, each optimal time slot fits one share. If a time slot is already full from an earlier Smart Share, your share will be moved to the next available time slot, and so forth. If you Smart Share a lot, time slots adapt to include more shares to ensure your shares are always shared within 7 days of selection.

Cancel a Smart Share or scheduled share

You can cancel a Smart Share or scheduled share in View My Insights.

  1. Select Show X scheduled posts to display the list of scheduled shares.
  2. Select Remove next to the share you want to cancel.

You cannot change the date and time of a scheduled share. Instead, cancel the share and locate the original post to schedule it again.
