How to schedule a Snapchat post

The steps are the same for every network.

1. Connect your Snapchat account in Connected Channels.
2. Open Create, type one idea and pick a tone. PlatPost writes three drafts in your own voice.
3. Edit the drafts, fill any gap, and keep the ones you like.
4. Drag a kept draft onto a day on the calendar and tick Snapchat.
5. Set the time. PlatPost posts it then, and the calendar shows that it went out.

Snapchat limits that PlatPost checks

The text limit PlatPost uses for Snapchat is 250 characters. The composer counts as you type.

Every Snapchat post needs an image or a video. PlatPost stops the post before it is saved if none is attached.

Post to Snapchat and your other networks together

When you tick more than one network, the composer counts against the tightest limit, so the post fits everywhere you send it.

The route PlatPost uses
