Publishing Calendar

A visual timeline view in Zoho Social showing all scheduled, published, and planned social media posts across connected profiles for a given period.

What Is the Publishing Calendar in Zoho Social?

The Publishing Calendar in Zoho Social is a visual planning interface that displays all your scheduled, published, and queued posts in a monthly or weekly calendar view. It gives social media managers an at-a-glance overview of the content plan across all connected social profiles, making it easy to identify scheduling gaps, manage post frequency, and ensure a consistent publishing cadence.

Using the Publishing Calendar

From the Publishing Calendar, you can click on any date to create a new post for that day, drag and drop existing posts to reschedule them, and view the details of any scheduled post without navigating away. Posts are colour-coded by social network, so you can quickly see the channel distribution across the week or month. Cancelled or failed posts are flagged with a distinct indicator for quick review.

Calendar as a Content Planning Tool

Teams often use the Publishing Calendar in Zoho Social for content planning sessions. The calendar view reveals visually whether a channel has too many posts in one period and too few in another, enabling rebalancing before content goes live. It also helps ensure content variety by showing the mix of post types (promotional, educational, engagement) across the schedule at a glance.

Can I filter the Publishing Calendar by social network in Zoho Social?

Yes. The Publishing Calendar in Zoho Social can be filtered to show posts for specific social profiles or networks. If you manage Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn for a Brand, you can view the calendar for each channel individually to assess the posting frequency per network rather than seeing all posts mixed together.

Does the Publishing Calendar show posts that failed to publish?

Yes. Zoho Social flags failed posts in the Publishing Calendar with a clear indicator so you can identify and address publishing errors quickly. Common causes of failed posts include expired social network tokens (requiring reconnection of the profile) or content that violated the platform’s posting policies. The calendar view ensures no failed post is missed or forgotten.
