Using the content calendar

The content calendar helps you see planned posts, organize publishing dates, review upcoming content, and manage work across connected platforms. It is the planning layer between content creation and publishing.

Use it to understand what is coming next, which destinations each post targets, and whether content is still in draft, scheduled, or already live—depending on your plan and available scheduling options.

1. 1Sign in to Flikly.
2. 2Open Calendar from the dashboard navigation.
3. 3Choose the date range or view available in your workspace.
4. 4Review drafts, scheduled posts, and published items where available.
5. 5Select a post to review details, edit, or continue the workflow.

On the calendar, you may see statuses such as the ones below. Filters and labels can vary slightly by view, but they generally reflect where a post is in the publishing workflow.

Some posts may also show as cancelled when a schedule was removed. If a post failed to publish, open it to review the connection, format, and any message shown in the app.

The calendar helps you see which platform each post is intended for. Before scheduling, check the destination account, caption, media, format, and timing so they fit the platform you are publishing to.

Publishing depends on connected accounts, permissions, platform requirements, and plan limits. Not every platform is available on every plan, and some scheduling options may only appear when the right account is connected.

Before a post goes live, walk through this quick checklist:

• Confirm the platform and destination account.
• Check caption and media.
• Confirm date, time, and timezone.
• Make sure the video or image aspect ratio fits the platform.
• Review captions or overlays if the post includes video.
• Confirm the post is ready to publish.

• Use the calendar to spot gaps in posting.
• Group campaigns by week or launch date.
• Balance content across connected platforms.
• Review upcoming posts before major campaigns.
• Keep drafts separate from scheduled posts in Content when you need a clearer pipeline view.
• Use the calendar together with the content library where available.

Generated videos, edited clips, and Split outputs can become scheduled posts after review. Check the clip, captions, platform format, and destination before you add a publish time.

The calendar helps you think about timing, but timezones and platform behavior still matter. Confirm the timezone shown before you schedule, especially when you manage multiple regions, clients, or campaigns.
