Collections

On this page

A collection is a pool of ready-made posts. Turn on regular posting and Robopost publishes one post from the pool at each time slot, picked at random or in the order you set. Use it for evergreen content: tips, quotes, product highlights, reminders.

You need: the Manage Post Collections right (or Admin) to see Collections in the sidebar.

Create a collection

In the sidebar, click Posts → Collections (Collections).
Click New post collection.
Enter a Collection name and pick a Color. The color marks the collection in your lists.
Leave Regularly post from the collection? off for now if the collection is still empty.
Click Add collection.

The collection's page opens. Its posts are listed under Posts from the collection.

Add posts to a collection

From the composer: write the post, pick its channels, then choose More actions → Add to collection, pick the collection and click Add to collection.
From existing posts: in Scheduled, Published or Draft posts, use Copy to collection on one post or on several selected posts.
From a CSV file: choose Post Collection as the import destination. See Import posts from a CSV file.

Each post keeps the channels you picked for it. When the collection publishes that post, it goes to those channels.

Publish from a collection on a schedule

Open the collection from Collections.
Turn on Regularly post from the collection?.
Pick a Posting Strategy:
- A random post in each iteration.
- Post in order. Restart from the beginning once all posts are exhausted.
- Post in order. Wait until the next post once all posts are exhausted. Here you can also turn on Delete post after posting, so each post is used only once.
Set the Timezone, the Next posting date (the first post) and the Posting interval. The intervals are the same as for recurring posts, including time slots.
Optional: turn on Post until a specified date and pick the end date.
Optional: turn on Rephrase post on every iteration using AI and pick a tone. From the second round on, AI rewrites the text each time it posts.
Click Update collection.

Upcoming collection slots appear on the calendar and under Upcoming collection schedules in Scheduled posts. The post is picked when the slot comes, so the slot shows the collection, not a post.

To pause the collection, turn off Regularly post from the collection? and click Update collection.

Change the order of the posts

With an in-order strategy and regular posting on, each post in Posts from the collection shows its position (for example #3). The one that goes out next is marked Next post.

Use the up and down arrows to move a post.
Click Designate as next post to make a post go out next.

Edit or schedule a single post from the collection

Click a post in Posts from the collection. The composer opens with This post is a member of the collection at the top.

Save post in collection saves your changes.
Schedule Post also schedules this post on its own, now or at a date you pick. It stays in the collection.

On the Agency plan, the collection form has a Share to teams field. Pick the brands (sub-teams) that should see the collection and click Update collection. Every post you add later is shared too.

In a brand, the shared collections are on the Shared with my team tab of Collections. The brand opens the collection, then clicks Copy to draft and edit on a post to get its own draft, which it can change and schedule on its own channels.

Delete a collection

In Collections, open the collection card's menu, choose Delete Collection and confirm with Yes.

Import posts from a CSV file: fill a collection from a spreadsheet.
