Postpone supports two ways of submitting social media posts:

  1. Automatic posts, which Postpone submits for you automatically.
  2. Notification posts, where Postpone sends you a notification when it is time to post, so you can submit the post yourself.

In this article, we'll learn what Notification posting is and when you should use it.

At this time, Reddit is the only platform that supports Notification posting, however we plan to bring this feature to other platforms in the future.

What is notification posting?

Notification posting is Postpone's feature that alerts you when it's time to publish your Reddit content. Instead of auto-posting directly to Reddit, you'll receive a notification on your device, prompting you to complete the posting process with just a few taps.

How can I create posts that use notification posting

Setting up notification posting is simple:

  1. Create your Reddit post in Postpone as you normally would.
  2. Choose the date and time you would like the post to be submitted in each subreddit.
  3. When selecting your posting method, choose "Notification" instead of "Automatic"
  4. Schedule your post.

That's it! Postpone will handle the rest, alerting you when it's time to publish.

Where will I get notified?

Postpone can notify you in two places:

  • Your iPhone or Android device.
  • Your browser.
Download the official Postpone iPhone or Android to get started.

Make sure you:

  • Have the latest version of the Postpone mobile app installed.
  • Log into your account in the Postpone mobile app.
  • Enable notifications for the Postpone app in your device settings.
  • Keep your device nearby at scheduled posting times.

Tapping on the notification will open the post in Postpone. From here, you can copy any field, open the post in Reddit's mobile app, and publish with just a few steps.

Be sure to come back to the app and mark your post as submitted in order for Postpone to track post analytics.
