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 todaybest_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 minutesbest_today-1h-- best time today, minus 1 hour
Implementation
- Bulk Import: Place Schedule Date Expressions in the
post_atcolumn of your CSV file. - Post Templates: Use the dedicated Schedule Date Expression field.
