Saving a draft vs. scheduling a post
A draft needs a caption and a channel. Scheduling adds one rule: the time has to be at least five minutes from now.
Published Aug 31, 2026
1. Both need a caption and a channel
A blank caption or no channel selected blocks either action. There's no such thing as a completely empty draft.
2. A draft doesn't need a date or time at all
Save it with nothing decided about when it goes out. Scheduling is the only action that asks for a time.
3. Scheduling adds one rule: at least five minutes out
Pick a time in the past, or less than five minutes from now, and scheduling is blocked with the reason stated plainly, never a silent rejection.

How to connect PostEase to Zapier or Make
Every publish can POST a signed payload to a Zapier Catch Hook or a Make custom webhook, carrying the caption, the account and a link to the live post. No app listing needed, and you can send a test event to map the fields.
Connecting PostEase to the rest of your stack
The outbound webhook, Zapier and Make, importing a calendar from another scheduler, and the browser extension are one integration surface, not four separate things to discover on your own.
Adding alt text to the images you schedule
One field in the composer, sent to X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Bluesky with the image. What it is for, what the 500-character cap comes from, and why video is left out.
How to set your workspace timezone
Every time you see or type in PostEase is in one zone chosen for the workspace, not your browser’s. Posts already scheduled keep their exact time when you change it.
Draft now, decide the timing later.
Every channel you have, included. Adding another does not change the price.
