The 5 automation rules

RuleWhat it does
Auto ShareAutomatically shares new posts to selected channels.
Auto RecycleRe-queues your best evergreen posts on a schedule you set.
Auto DeleteRemoves time-sensitive posts after they expire.
Auto CommentPosts a first comment automatically — great for hashtags.
Auto NotifyAlerts your team when key events happen.

Scope: per account or per post

Apply a rule to an entire social account, or attach it to a single post for one-off behavior. Account-level rules keep working for everything you publish; post-level rules give you surgical control — e.g., auto-delete only the flash-sale announcement.

Creating a rule

  1. Open Automations from the main navigation.
  2. Choose a rule type and give it a clear name.
  3. Set the scope — account or specific posts.
  4. Configure the trigger and action, then turn it on.

Starter playbook

Tip: Review automation activity monthly. Rules should save time, not surprise you — pause anything you don't recognize.

FAQ

Can automations post without my review?

Yes — that's the point. But every automated action is logged, and you can pause any rule instantly.

Do recycled posts look like duplicates?

iPlanr spaces recycles apart and you can set minimum intervals, so feeds stay fresh.
