Some posts don't happen once — a weekly roundup, a daily reminder, a monthly "we're hiring" nudge. Instead of re-creating the same post on a recurring basis, Postfalcon can do it for you.
Setting up a repeating post
Open the composer and switch When to Schedule. Once you've picked a date and time, a Repeat option appears underneath it with four choices:
- Don't repeat — the default; a normal one-off scheduled post.
- Every day
- Every week
- Every month
Pick one, and an optional Until date shows up. Leave it blank and the series keeps going (Postfalcon caps any recurring series at one year out as a safety net); set it and the series stops cleanly after that date.
What happens when a repeating post publishes
The moment a repeating post goes out, Postfalcon immediately schedules its next occurrence — same content, same channel, same repeat settings — at the next interval. You'll see the new occurrence appear on your calendar right away rather than waiting for some background job to catch up later.
If the original post had media attached, each new occurrence gets its own copy of those files rather than sharing the original. That's deliberate: it means editing or deleting one occurrence in the series can never affect another, and the media cleanup job (which removes old uploads once a post is fully resolved) can't orphan a file a future occurrence still needs.
Editing a series
A recurring post's occurrences aren't locked together — each one is a normal post you can open, edit, or delete independently from the calendar. Changing the content on one upcoming occurrence doesn't rewrite the others; if you want to change the series going forward, you'll want to edit each future occurrence you care about (or turn off repeating on the current one and start a fresh series with the new content).
To stop a series early, open any upcoming occurrence and switch Repeat back to Don't repeat, or delete the individual occurrences you don't want.
Combine it with cross-posting
Recurring posts and cross-posting work together — select multiple channels and a repeat interval on the same post, and every channel gets its own independent recurring series. A weekly update to three platforms is still just one composer session.
