Tamilore, our Senior Content Creator, posted a Substack Note every day in September for The Weekly Scroll, Buffer's own publication. She batch-wrote most of them and scheduled them ahead. Here's how scheduling Notes works, and what a month of it taught her. 🧵

First, yes, you can schedule Substack Notes, and there are two free ways to do it. Substack added a scheduler to its own composer, and Buffer's Substack integration is built on Substack's official API, in partnership with Substack.

Inside Substack on the web, write your Note, click the calendar icon at the bottom, pick a date and time (it uses your local timezone), then Save and Schedule. The Note sits in your Drafts with its publish time showing. You can schedule up to three months ahead.

On mobile, the same option lives in the three-dot menu when you're writing a Note. Tap it and choose Schedule.

There are a few things the native scheduler doesn't do. There's no calendar view, so your scheduled Notes sit in a list of drafts. You schedule one Note at a time. The Note only goes to Substack. And per-Note reporting stops at likes, replies, and restacks.
