Calendar

The Calendar shows every post on your connected accounts in one timeline: what went out, from Buzzmark or straight on the platform, and every Buzz that's scheduled.

You switch between month, week and day, filter by social set and platform, and open any post for its details and numbers.

A scheduled Buzz can be dragged to another day or edited until 2 minutes before it goes out.

Views and moving around

Open Calendar in the menu, or press l. Pick Month, Week or Day above the grid, and move with the arrows beside Today. On the keyboard, ← and → move, t jumps to today, and m, w and d switch the view. The calendar remembers your view on this device.

Times are on your device's clock, and the line under the title names the zone. In week and day view each post sits at its minute, and posts at the same time share the width.

Drafts don't show here. Each post shows its status: Published, Scheduled, Publishing, Failed, Partly published or Waiting for approval. Posts you made directly on a platform show too, with their numbers.

The sidebar next to the calendar holds the page's tools. On a phone they sit under the grid.

  • Filters narrows the calendar to some social sets (All social sets until you pick) and to some platforms (All shows every one). When nothing matches, Clear filters shows everything again.
  • Best times shows when your posts earn the most engagement per post, by weekday and by hour, for the accounts in the filters. Press a time under Next best times to write a Buzz for that moment.
  • Coming up lists every Buzz scheduled for the next 7 days. Press one to open it.

To start a Buzz for a particular day, press the + on that day. The composer opens in the panel on the right with Schedule set to that day, or to the time you picked under Next best times. How best times are worked out is on Posting slots and best times.

The post panel

Press any post to open it in the panel on the right. Its arrows step through the posts in view, and the calendar moves with them.

  • When it went out or goes out, and the accounts under Posted to or Going to.
  • Where it came from: Posted through Buzzmark, Goes out through Buzzmark, or posted directly on the platform.
  • Its numbers summed across accounts, and when they last synced. A post that just went out says Link on its way until the platform reports back.
  • The pictures it went out with. Press one to see it larger.
  • The Remix into a new post button: Buzz writes a new take on it in the voice of your Hive profile, what Buzz knows about your brand. Plan it takes the new take into the composer, and nothing goes out until you schedule it.

A Buzz that failed or went out only partly also shows What each platform did, with the ways to fix it. Both are on Schedule and post.

Move or change a scheduled Buzz

A scheduled Buzz can change until 2 minutes before it goes out.

  • Drag it to another day in any view. It keeps its time of day. A day that can take it lights up, and anywhere else it springs back. On a touch screen, hold it still for a moment first.
  • To change the time, open it and press the line that says when it goes out. Pick a day and a time at least 2 minutes from now, and press Move it.
  • To change the words, edit them in the panel and press Save changes, or ⌘↵. Undo changes puts them back, and nothing changes on the platform until you save. A thread, or a Buzz with its own text per platform, has to be unscheduled to change its words.
  • To take it off the schedule, press Unschedule, then Move to drafts. It opens in the composer as a draft with its pictures and accounts.

If a platform won't take the change, the Buzz stays scheduled exactly as before and a message says so.

Questions

Can I change the time of day by dragging?

No. Dragging moves a Buzz to another day at the same time. To change the time, open it and press the line that says when it goes out.

Where are my drafts?

Under Drafts in the sidebar on the Buzz page. The Calendar shows only what's scheduled, waiting for approval or already out.
