Social media automation: every way to automate posting

There are seven ways to automate social media posting in 1Post: a weekly queue, repeating posts, RSS feeds, CSV import, the API, webhooks and the MCP server. The first four are set up in the app; the last three connect your code or an assistant. Each checks posts against the network's rules first.

The methods side by side

MethodWhat it doesWhat starts a post
The weekly queueAdd weekly time slots, then add posts to the queue and each takes the next free slot.A slot comes round
Repeating postsRepeat a post from every day to every month, with versions that rotate where a network refuses identical repeats.The interval you set
RSS to postsTurn each new item in a feed into a post from a template. Items are saved for review, or auto-queued with a daily limit.A new item in a feed
CSV importLoad up to 500 posts from a spreadsheet. Every row is checked against its network before anything is queued.You import a file
The APICreate and schedule posts from your own code with a key bound to your workspace.Your code calls it
WebhooksReceive a signed message when a post publishes, fails or needs attention, and act on it in your own systems.A post event
The MCP serverLet an assistant list accounts, write and schedule posts and read results, with the permissions of the member who connected it.An assistant asks

Which method to start with

What stays in your hands

Automation here moves the work of choosing times and retyping, not the writing. Posts from contributors can wait in an approval inbox, feeds can be set to save items for review, and every post is checked against its network before it is queued, so automation does not send what a network would refuse.

Every plan, from $29 a month, includes the API, the MCP server and signed webhooks. See pricing.

Questions

Can social media posting be fully automated?

The scheduling can: queues, repeats, feeds, files and code all publish without you being online. The text is yours; 1Post writes nothing for you, so review settings and approvals decide how much you look at before it goes out.

Is there a daily limit on automated posts?

Each connected account has a daily cap per network, and feed auto-queue has its own daily limit so a burst of articles cannot flood an account. The daily caps data page lists them.

Which automation methods need a developer?

The queue, repeats, RSS and CSV import are set up in the app. The API, webhooks and MCP server are for people who write code or connect an assistant.
