What are Queues on Zoho Social?
Queues are designated time-slots for your content pipelines. On Zoho Social, you can use 2 kinds of queues:
SmartQ - Auto-generated time slots:
These are intelligent time-slots generated by Zoho Social for each of your connected social channels. Based on your publishing history (upto 7 days minimum) on a specific channel, SmartQ displays a set of the next best time-slots for publishing content -- based on times when your audience engages with your content.
These time-slots are dynamic data and changes every week based on your engagement metrics. SmartQ slots are auto-generated for team members by Zoho Social. SmartQ data hence, varies for each and every connected social channel based on its own set of metrics. Choosing a common 'SmartQ' for multiple channels at once, would give you an average best-time to post.
CustomQ - Custom time-slots:
These are pre-defined time schedules that can be set up by you. Much like a content time-table, CustomQ shows the next open slot for scheduling a post. CustomQ slots give you more control over your Brand's publishing schedule, helping you maintain consistent publishing times and avoid overlaps.
CustomQ slots are static slots set-up by Admins for team members to ensure a publishing timetable. These time-slots can be used to publish posts for any connected social channel and are commonly applicable to all, since its user-defined slots.
