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.

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.

Scheduling through Buffer covers those gaps. Connect Substack as a channel, write the Note, and pick a time. To send the same Note to LinkedIn, Threads, X, or Bluesky, select those channels in the same post. Once it's live, you'll see impressions, engagement, follows, and subscriber conversions!
