Schedule Canva Content To Social Media | Easy Scheduling Tips!

Education

Introduction

Canva has revolutionized the way we create and post social media content. With its fantastic templates and built-in tools, you can easily customize your graphics and post directly to your social media accounts right from Canva. In this article, we'll explore how to effectively schedule your content using Canva's features, making your social media management simpler and more efficient.

Using the Canva Content Planner

One of the first methods you can utilize to scale your content is through the Canva Content Planner. To access it, go to the app section of Canva, where you’ll find the Content Planner option. Keep in mind that this feature is available to Canva Pro users, so if you don't have a Pro account yet, consider signing up for a 30-day free trial linked in the description.

Once you enter the Content Planner, you will see a handy calendar interface that highlights upcoming holidays and allows you to schedule posts for different social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook. To schedule a post:

  1. Click on the date you want to schedule for—let’s say November 15th—and click the "+" sign.
  2. Select your desired post from your projects or templates.
  3. Adjust the date if necessary and pick the channel (e.g., your Facebook page).
  4. Write your caption and decide if you'd like to schedule it or save it as a draft.
  5. Click Schedule to finalize.

Your content will automatically be posted on the specified date.

Scheduling Directly from the Design

Another efficient method is to schedule your content directly from within a Canva design. Here’s how:

  1. In the app section, search for scheduling tools like Later, Publer, or Plannable. These tools can be integrated with your Canva account.
  2. Alternatively, click on the Share icon in the upper right corner, then go to See All, and select social media channels of your choice (e.g., Instagram, Facebook).
  3. You can choose to post immediately or schedule a later time. If scheduling:
    • Connect your social media account.
    • Select the page and design you want.
    • Write a caption and choose the date and time for posting.

Make sure you’ve allowed the necessary permissions for each social media account.

Connecting to TikTok

When it comes to scheduling for TikTok, you will need to scan a QR code provided by Canva to connect your account. Here’s how:

  1. Choose a video and follow the same share steps by going to See All and selecting TikTok.
  2. Use your phone's camera to scan the QR code that appears, and follow the prompts to connect.
  3. Add your content, captions, hashtags, and either post it immediately or save it for later.

Utilizing Metrial for Scheduling

Another extremely useful tool is Metrial, which allows for comprehensive scheduling of your Canva content. To use Metrial:

  1. Connect your Metrial account in Canva.
  2. Share your design through the app and choose the format and pages you want to include.
  3. Metrial allows you to pull content directly from your Canva folders to schedule.

With these scheduling options, managing your social media posts becomes significantly easier. This efficient integration means no more downloading and re-uploading, saving you time and effort.
