Getting started: connect, compose, schedule, verify

Five steps take an empty account to a published post: make a Group, connect accounts into it, write the post once, schedule it, and check the result. Step five is reading the per-account result, which is how you know each platform took the post.

1. Make a Group

A Group is one workspace: one client, one brand, one calendar. Connected accounts live inside a Group, and posts are composed against the accounts in it. Groups are unlimited on every paid plan, so there is no reason to crowd two clients into one.

Go to Dashboard → Accounts and create one. If you only run your own accounts, a single Group is the whole setup.

2. Connect accounts

Inside the Group, pick a platform tile and approve Schedchie on that platform's own consent screen. Bluesky and Mastodon first ask for your handle or server, Telegram has you add the Schedchie bot to your channel or group as an admin, and X needs the €4.99 add-on per 30 posts before it connects. Connect as many accounts as you want; the count never changes the price. Which button to pick, and what each account label means, is in connecting and reconnecting accounts.

3. Write one post for all of them

The composer starts with one block of text and the media you attach. Pick the accounts it goes to, and each platform gets a tab where you can override what it needs:

• Different text or hashtags per platform, where 280 characters and 2,200 characters want different copy.
• The post type: a Reel, a feed post, a carousel or a Story on Instagram; a poll or a document on LinkedIn. See the platform limits reference for what each one takes.
• Platform settings that only exist in one place: Pinterest board, TikTok privacy, YouTube category and title.
• Alt text on the platforms that accept it, and a custom video cover on the ones that allow it.

Media uploads in the background over a resumable connection, so you can keep editing while a video moves. The ceiling is 200 MB and 15 minutes per video, everywhere.

Presets and notes

Settings you retype every time (a YouTube category, a Pinterest board, a privacy level) can be saved as a preset and applied in one click. Ideas that are not posts yet live in Notes, as notes, ideas, drafts or reminders.

4. Put it on the calendar

Give the post a date and time and it is scheduled. The calendar shows it by month, week or day; the list view shows the same posts as rows you can search and filter by platform, status and Group. Both let you open a post and edit its text, media, accounts and time right up until it publishes.

A post that should repeat can be set to recur daily, weekly or monthly. Each occurrence clones the next one after a fully successful publish, so a recurring slot does not multiply while something is broken.

5. Check what went out

Open a published post and each account shows its own result, with a What happened card giving the reason for anything that failed. In the list a post reads Scheduled, Publishing, Awaiting approval, Success, Partial, Failed or Disconnected, and an opened post that every account took reads Posted. If a post does not fully go out, an email names the accounts that missed it. To see the post as it stands on each platform, with its numbers, switch the calendar from Schedule to Live. What each error means and how retry works is in why a post failed.
