This is a function that allows you to republish the same post with a certain frequency (for example: once an hour, once a day, once a week, every 2 hours, etc.).
Attention: the function is available only in the web version (via the bot you cannot, but wish already exist)!
To create an auto-publication you need:
-
in the post settings, open the “Repeat publication” section:
-
further in the auto-publication settings, select the repetition period in the cron-style (if you find it difficult to understand what to specify, use the resource crontab.guru, or see examples below):
-
check the result in the next. step “List of dates”:
Limitations
- No more than 100 repetitions of one post

Note
Technically, automatic republishing work by copying your original post at the time of republishing. Several nuances follow from this:
- the posts-repetitions will not be visible in the calendar of posts, only the original post
- in case of failure at the time of publication post-repetition, this post may not published (there will be a gap in the repeating schedule)
