Time slot: what it means

A time slot is a recurring weekday and time, such as Tuesday at 9:00, set for an account. A post added to the queue takes the next free slot instead of a chosen time. In 1Post slots use your workspace time zone, in the web app and the API alike.

Updated 2026-10-23

A slot is taken once a post is queued in it. If a slot has gone, 1Post says so instead of posting immediately.

Deleting a slot that scheduled posts use offers to move them to the next free slot.
