Facebook Post Scheduler: Queue Page Posts Past the 29-Day Limit
Social Magnum schedules posts to Facebook Pages from one calendar, as far ahead as you like, in your own timezone, alongside Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Bluesky and Mastodon. Meta Business Suite, Facebook's own scheduler, publishes free but only between 20 minutes and 29 days from now. Comments on scheduled posts land in a shared inbox, and drafts can go through approval before they publish.

Where Meta Business Suite stops
Facebook schedules Page posts for free through Meta Business Suite, and its help page states the window precisely: a post can publish between 20 minutes and 29 days away, in the timezone your account is set to. Twenty-nine days is the number most guides round up to a month, and the 20-minute lower bound is the one almost nobody mentions.
That is fine for a week of posts on one Page. It gets in the way when you plan a quarter ahead, run the same announcement on Instagram and Threads at the same time, or want a colleague to check a post before it goes out. Social Magnum removes the upper limit, keeps every network on one calendar, and adds the approval step.
How scheduling a Facebook post works here
Connect a Page once through Facebook's own login, and it appears next to your other accounts. From then on a post is written once and queued to any combination of networks.
- 1Connect your Facebook Page with Facebook Login; we only ask for the permissions publishing and comments need, and the app is Meta-reviewed.
- 2Write the post in the composer. Attach photos, a video or a link, and adapt the text per network if the same wording does not fit everywhere.
- 3Pick the date and time. The calendar shows the whole week, and the time is in your workspace timezone, so a 9am slot is 9am for your Page.
- 4Send it for approval if your workspace requires it; the approver sees exactly what will publish.
- 5It publishes at the slot. If Facebook rejects it, the post is marked failed with Facebook's reason, and you can retry it from the queue.
- 6Replies arrive in the Engage inbox, where comments from every connected network sit in one list.
Schedule Facebook posts from your AI agent
Social Magnum also runs as an MCP server. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, and you can ask your assistant to draft a week of Page posts, schedule them, read the queue, or answer comments, with every action going through your own account and its permissions. No API keys to paste; you sign in and approve the connection once.

How far in advance can you schedule Facebook posts?
In Meta Business Suite, between 20 minutes and 29 days ahead, according to Facebook's help page. In Social Magnum there is no upper limit: queue a post for next week or next year.
Can I schedule Facebook posts for free?
Yes, twice over. Meta Business Suite is free for Pages you manage. Social Magnum's free plan includes 2 social accounts and 15 posts a month, with no card required, and paid plans start at $24 a month.
Can I schedule posts to a personal Facebook profile?
Social Magnum publishes to Facebook Pages, which is what Facebook's API supports for third-party tools. Scheduling on personal profiles is community-reported through the Professional Dashboard, not something we publish to.
What happens if a scheduled post fails?
It is marked failed in the queue with the reason Facebook returned, you are notified, and you can fix and retry it. Nothing is silently dropped.
Can I post the same thing to Facebook and Instagram at once?
Yes. One post can be queued to a Facebook Page and an Instagram account together, with the caption adapted per network if you want. Instagram needs media; Facebook does not.
Does Social Magnum pick the best time to post on Facebook?
Facebook's own Active times, shown in Business Suite, are measured from your audience and are the honest source. Our article on the best time to post on Facebook explains why the published charts disagree with each other.
Schedule Facebook with everything else
One composer, one calendar and one inbox for every account you run. The free plan covers 2 social accounts and 15 posts a month, with no card required.

How to Schedule Facebook Posts: 20 Minutes to 29 Days
Facebook schedules Page posts free in Meta Business Suite, between 20 minutes and 29 days out. Here are the limits, and the time zone trap.
Facebook Already Tells You When to Post
Six guides give six different answers. Facebook's composer has an Active times control built from your own followers, and it is free.
Facebook Post Size: The Ratios Facebook Actually Keeps
Facebook post size is not published for organic posts. The 1440x1800 ranking first is an ads minimum, the same 4:5 shape as 1080x1350.
Facebook Cover Photo Size: Desktop and Mobile Disagree
Facebook cover photo size is 851x315, not the 820x312 most guides quote. Desktop shows 16:9 and mobile 2.4:1, so one cover is cropped twice.
