Nathan FieldSkool's help centre documents no way to schedule feed posts, so to schedule Skool posts you either post by hand at the right time or use an outside tool. This guide covers what Skool itself lets you plan ahead, the tools that post for you, what each one says about itself, and the Skool rule to read before you use any of them. Everything here was checked on Skool's help centre and each tool's own pages on 29 September 2026.
Skool's help centre documents no way to schedule posts in the community feed. It does let you schedule Calendar events, including repeating ones, and pin up to three posts to the top. To schedule feed posts, owners use outside tools such as SkoolKit, Skoot, Panda, Skooly, StickyHive or Backpack.
Does Skool have post scheduling built in?
Not that Skool documents. On 29 September 2026 we searched Skool's help centre for "schedule" and read all 121 articles in its sitemap. The word only comes up for events: scheduled calls, webinars, and moderators running "scheduled events." No article covers scheduling a post to the community feed.
So the honest answer is narrow. Skool's help centre documents no way to schedule feed posts. If Skool adds one, its help centre is where it will show up first, and we will update this page.
What Skool does let you plan ahead
Calendar events, including repeating ones
Events are the one thing Skool lets you set up for a future time. From its event article: click the plus button in your Calendar tab, fill in the title, date, time and length, and tick Recurring Event to repeat it daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. You choose whether it never ends, ends on a date, or ends after a number of times. Members can get an event reminder email 24 hours before it starts (notifications article).
Pinned posts
A pinned post stays at the top of the feed until you unpin it. Admins can pin up to 3 posts. Click the post, the three dots menu, then Pin to feed (pin article). You can also pin a post to a course page, up to 12 per page. A pinned weekly thread is not scheduling, but it keeps one post in front of members without you posting again.
An announcements category
Skool's categories article suggests an Announcements category where only admins can post, sorted by newest. Skool says this "ensures that members always see the latest updates first."
Drip lessons in the Classroom
Course lessons can unlock a set number of days after each member joins (drip article). That is timed content, but in the Classroom, not the feed.
The no-tool way
The simplest way: write a week of posts in one sitting, keep them in a notes app or doc, and paste each one into Skool at the time you want it to go up. It costs nothing and needs no access to your account. The catch is that you still have to be there, every time.
Tools that schedule Skool posts
None of these are made by Skool. Each row uses only that tool's own website or its own Skool community page, read on 29 September 2026. We have not tested the other tools, so these are their claims, not our results.
| Tool | How it schedules, in its own words | Computer off? | Price on its own page |
|---|---|---|---|
| SkoolKit | A Schedule button "right next to 'Go Live'", plus a month, week and day calendar | Yes, per its FAQ: posts publish "with your laptop closed and your browser shut" | From $2/month for one tool, $17/month for every tool (founding member prices) |
| Skoot | A schedule button in the post area; also shows when most members are online | Yes, per its site: "Works 24/7 on Skoot's servers, even when your computer is off" | $97/month on its website, $99/month on its Skool page; 7-day free trial |
| Panda | "Schedule a week of posts in one sitting", with polls and GIFs | Its FAQ says it "currently requires a desktop or laptop computer to run" and suggests you "leave your computer on at home" | $36/month in its FAQ, $37/month on its Skool page; 7 days free |
| Skooly | On its upgrade tier: "Scheduled posts that can be automatically pinned or send DMs to commenters" | Not stated | $9/month entry price on its Skool page; the upgrade tier's price is not shown there |
| StickyHive | A separate web app that uses "secure browser automation"; recurring posts and polls | Says your community gets posts "even when you're offline" | $29/month for one community; 14 days free |
Two details worth knowing. Skoot's Skool page says its post scheduling "Works for both hobby & pro plans," and Panda's says it "Works on both Skool Hobby and Pro plans." The others do not say on the pages we read. StickyHive also works with Circle and Mighty Networks, if you run more than one platform.
What to check before you pick one
- Does it post with your computer off? A browser extension only runs while your browser is open, unless the tool posts from its own servers. Check the tool's own answer, as above.
- How does it get into your Skool account? To post as you, a tool needs your Skool login session. SkoolKit says it uses your browser session, stored encrypted. Panda says "your logins are never collected." StickyHive has you log in to Skool once through its own connection. Read each privacy policy.
- How many communities? Some plans cover one community, some several. Check before you pay.
- Does it cover your plan? If you are on Hobby, confirm the tool says it works there. Our Skool pricing guide explains what Hobby leaves out.
Backpack's Post Scheduler
Backpack is our tool, so weigh this part with that in mind. It is a Chrome extension plus our servers, for Skool owners, and it is not made by or affiliated with Skool.
With the Post Scheduler, you write the post with its title, body and category, then pick the day and time. Backpack posts it from our servers when the time comes, so your laptop can be shut. It posts from your own Skool account, the same as if you had posted it, and you can edit or cancel a post right up until it goes out. You can also connect your own Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to write a post and put it in your schedule.
To post while you are away, Backpack stores your Skool session, encrypted, and uses it only to read your member list, send the messages you wrote, and publish the posts you scheduled. The same $9 a month also covers Payment Recovery and Cancellation Recovery, which message members whose card fails or who cancel. One plan covers every Skool community you admin, with every feature included. Try Backpack free for 7 days.
What to post is its own question. Skool's team shares what keeps members active in how to get engagement in your Skool community.
The short version
There is no documented way to schedule Skool posts inside Skool today. Use Calendar events for anything that repeats, pin your most important post, and either post by hand or pick a scheduling tool. If you are still setting up your group, start with how to start a Skool community.
FAQ
Can you schedule posts on Skool?
Not with any feature Skool documents. Skool's help centre has no article on scheduling feed posts as of 29 September 2026. You can schedule Calendar events, including repeating ones, and pin up to three posts. To schedule feed posts, owners use outside tools, which Skool does not make and which post through your account.
Can I schedule a recurring event on Skool?
Yes. In your Calendar tab, click the plus button, fill in the event details and tick Recurring Event. You can repeat it daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, and choose whether it never ends, ends on a date, or ends after a set number of times. Skool Call is the default location.
How many posts can I pin on Skool?
Admins can pin up to 3 posts to the top of the community feed. To pin one, click the post, open the three dots menu, then click Pin to feed. You can also pin posts to a course page in the Classroom, up to 12 per page, and one post can be pinned in both places.
Does a Skool scheduling tool work on the Hobby plan?
Some say so. Skoot's Skool page says its post scheduling works on both Hobby and Pro, and Panda's says it works on both plans. SkoolKit, Skooly, StickyHive and Backpack do not state it on the pages we read, so ask the tool before you pay if you are on Hobby.
Does my computer need to be on for scheduled Skool posts?
It depends on the tool. SkoolKit, Skoot and Backpack say they post from their own servers, so your computer can be off. Panda's FAQ says it needs a desktop or laptop and suggests leaving your computer on at home. Posting by hand, of course, means you have to be there.
