# Scheduling with Subreddit Analysis

> Use Subreddit Analysis to find the best times to post on Reddit when using Bulk Import or Post Templates.

Postpone's Subreddit Analysis feature helps determine optimal posting times on Reddit for both Bulk Import and Post Templates, using a format called **Schedule Date Expression**.

## Schedule Date Expression Formats

### Daily Options

- `best_today` -- schedule at the best time today
- `best_tomorrow` -- schedule at the best time tomorrow

### Relative Dates

Use formats like `best_4_days` or `best_12_days` to select the optimal time a specified number of days ahead.

### Absolute Dates

Use `best_2023-11-06` format (YYYY-MM-DD) to target a specific future date.

### Date Range Selection

Use expressions like `best_next_7_days` to let Postpone pick both the ideal day and time within a specified window.

## Advanced Options

### Multiple Best Times

Prefix with a number (2, 3, or 4) to schedule at secondary optimal times:

- `3best_4_days` -- schedules at the 3rd best time, 4 days from now

### Time Adjustments

Use offset syntax to shift times:

- `best_today+20m` -- best time today, plus 20 minutes
- `best_today-1h` -- best time today, minus 1 hour

## Implementation

- **Bulk Import:** Place Schedule Date Expressions in the `post_at` column of your CSV file.
- **Post Templates:** Use the dedicated Schedule Date Expression field.
