How to create and organize queues

Create publishing queues and organize them using groups.

Updated this week

Queues in Agorapulse organize posts into a publishing sequence that follows the timeslots you define. Instead of scheduling each post individually, you can create queues dedicated to different campaigns, themes, or clients.


You can also organize multiple queues into Queue Groups to simplify queue management. Queue Groups give you a collective view of your schedules and allow you to manage related queues together.

Please Note: Only Owners and Managers may access the Queues feature.



How to create a queue

To create a queue from the Queues menu:

  1. Select + Create a new queue.

  2. Choose a social profile (only one profile can be selected per queue).

  3. Enter a queue name and select a color (colors appear in the Social Calendar to visually separate your queues)

  4. Configure the Skip rule under Skip an item if it has already been published in the last…

    • Example: If set to 7 days, a post already published in the last week will be skipped until the timeframe has passed

  5. Select the Queue position:

    • Top: The post will publish next

    • Bottom: The post is added to the end of the queue

  6. Select Create to save your queue

Best Practices

  • Segment by theme: Create queues based on content themes (for example, “Blog articles,” “Client stories,” “Industry news”) to distribute different types of content evenly

  • Maintain cadence: Combine queues with timeslots to maintain a predictable cadence, such as daily tips in one queue and weekly announcements in another

  • Use skip rules: Use skip rules strategically to prevent the same post from appearing too frequently



How to edit or delete a queue

To edit or delete a queue from the Queues menu:

  1. Select the three-dot menu (...) beside the queue name in the left-hand panel

  2. Select Edit or Delete queue

  3. If editing, make any changes to the queue and press Update

  4. If deleting, confirm deletion in the pop-up

Please Note: Deleting a queue removes its settings and timeslots but not the associated content in the Asset Library.


How to configure Queue Groups

Queue Groups allow you to organize multiple queues in one place. They help you:

  • View the combined schedule of several queues at once

  • Drag and drop posts between queues of the same profile

  • Keep queues organized by platform, campaign, or client

How to create a Queue Group

To create a queue group from the Queues menu:

  1. Click Queue group settings

  2. Click the + icon to create a new group

  3. Click to enter a name your group (for example, “Facebook” or “Client A”)

  4. Under Overview, select your new group to open it

  5. Drag and drop queues under the Queue Group heading on the right

  6. Click Save

How to manage Queue Groups

To manage queue groups from the Queue group settings:

  • Rename a group: Select the group name and type a new one

  • Remove a queue: Drag the queue back to Overview

  • Delete a group: Select the trash icon in Queue group settings

    • Deleting a group does not delete its queues; they return to the main overview list.

Please Note: Queue Groups cannot be reordered. If you want them in a specific order, create them in that order.

Best Practices

  • Group by platform: Create Queue Groups for each network (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) and organize content queues within them.

  • Group by client or campaign: For agencies or teams running multiple initiatives, Queue Groups provide clarity and separation

  • Keep it clean: Avoid placing too many unrelated queues in one group

  • Plan for flexibility: Use Queue Groups to quickly rebalance content across queues within the same profile
