Scheduler

In this guide, you’ll learn more about the account-level Scheduler in the Social section of Moz Local and how to create new social calendars for your groups and locations.

The Scheduler view in Moz Local is similar to the Calendar view, with the primary difference being that the Scheduler allows you to see all posts for all locations in one place. It provides an over-arching view of your social calendar at the account level.

Account Administrators can create a schedule of ads and posts and share them with local users through the Community Calendar. To get started:

• At the Account level, navigate to the Social and then click on Calendar.

  • Click Create Content Calendar on the right side of the page.

  • In the resulting pop-up, you will be asked to identify start and end dates, recipients and editors

  • Calendar Name: pick a name reflective of the material within so that those who receive it can easily  understand its use case.

  • Start Date and Expiration Date: enter a value into these optional fields if you don’t want other users to be able to edit the range later

  • Calendar Recipients: indicate the groups, locations and/or accounts receiving calendar content

  • Calendar Editors: If you have other team members that will be helping you create the content for your Community Calendar, add those users into the Calendar Editors field. This will give them access to edit the calendar, as well as change any calendar setting.

• Click the Create button to start adding content to your calendar. There are two ways to go about this:

  • Click a date to trigger a pop-up where you can indicate applicable social media networks

    • Provide a caption in the message field, image and a suggested date and time.

    • Click the Suggest button to notify recipients.

  • Drag pre-created library content over from the right sidebar menu.

    • Once you’re satisfied with your content calendar, click the Send Message button in the top right of the screen to share it with other locations or groups.

    • Enter a message and choose which locations or groups the calendar should go to.

    • Click Send to notify recipients.

Recipients will be notified by an in-platform message. To access those:

• Click Messages in the top right of the page.

• Select Take Me There.

  • Customers with access to one location will be taken directly to that location’s calendar to view the suggested content.

  • Customers with access to multiple locations will be prompted to choose which location’s calendar they’d like to see. Once chosen, they will be sent to that Calendar to view suggested content.

Subscribing to a Community Calendar allows users to quickly accept all posts. The Subscribe button is located to the far right of the Community Calendar > Messages > Take Me There. Once a user subscribes, any scheduled content from that calendar will automatically appear in green.
