DraftPostline is a shared content calendar for social teams and agencies. Draft a post, check it against each platform’s rules, get a manager’s approval, then schedule it, and see exactly what happened to it afterwards.

Six steps, in this order, every time. Nobody can schedule a post that hasn’t been approved, and nobody can approve a post that fails a platform check.
Write the caption, attach images or video from your team’s media library, and pick the channels it’s for. Each upload needs a tick confirming you own the file or have a licence to post it.
As you type, Postline counts characters, hashtags and attachments for every channel you picked, and lists anything a platform would refuse.
A post can only be submitted once every check passes. Add a note for the reviewer if there’s context they need.
An admin approves the post, or sends it back with a comment. Sent-back posts return to the author to edit and resubmit. Each decision stays on the post’s comment thread.
Put the approved post on the calendar, up to a year ahead. Move it to another time, or cancel it, until it goes out.
At the scheduled time each channel gets its own delivery status. Today that means Sent to sandbox, or Failed with the reason. A failed delivery can be retried, up to 3 attempts per channel.
One post often goes to several channels with different limits. Postline checks the same draft against each of them, so a caption that fits LinkedIn doesn’t quietly break on X.
| Platform | Caption | Hashtags | Media | Attachments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,200 characters | 30 at most | An image or video is required | Up to 10 images or videos, mixed | |
| TikTok | 2,200 characters | No limit set | A video is required | 1 video, no images |
| 3,000 characters | No limit set | Optional | Up to 9 images, or 1 video | |
| X | 280 characters | No limit set | Optional | Up to 4 images, or 1 video |
| 63,206 characters | No limit set | Optional | Up to 10 images, or 1 video | |
| YouTube | 5,000 characters | 60 at most | A video is required | 1 video, no images |
Limits are taken from each platform’s public documentation and platforms change them without notice; we re-check every value before turning on live delivery. X counts some characters as two, so Postline’s X count is an approximation.
Two roles keep the calendar clean for in-house teams and agencies running several brands.
Copywriters, designers, community managers
Account leads, brand managers, the workspace owner
Postline is in private beta. Here is exactly what it does not do yet.
Postline does not post to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Facebook or YouTube yet. Live delivery will only go through each platform’s official API, once that platform approves Postline’s app.
Until then, every channel is a clearly labelled sandbox channel. At the scheduled time, Postline validates the post and records the result. Nothing leaves Postline.
You won’t see likes, views or reach. Postline shows its own delivery counts only, and will only show engagement it can read from an authorised platform API. It never estimates them.
Each plan sets how many posts you can schedule each month, how much media you can store, and how many channels you can connect at once.
30 scheduled posts a month
300 scheduled posts a month
3,000 scheduled posts a month
Prices will be set at launch. Postline is free while it’s in beta.
No. Postline doesn’t post to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Facebook or YouTube yet. Each platform has to approve Postline’s app for its official API first. Until then your channels are sandbox channels: you can plan, check, approve and schedule real posts, but nothing is sent to the platform.
Postline runs the platform checks again and records the outcome for each channel: Sent to sandbox, or Failed with the reason. It’s a rehearsal of the whole workflow without anything going live.
The post is marked Failed and shows why. Any verified member can retry it, up to 3 attempts per channel. If a delivery was interrupted and the outcome is unknown, Postline says so, so you can check before trying again.
Once it’s scheduled you can move it to another time or cancel it. Approved posts can’t be edited: to change the caption or media, cancel it and start a new draft, which goes through review again. What goes out is always what was approved.
Not yet. It only shows engagement that comes from an authorised platform API, and no platform is connected yet. It never estimates numbers.
When each platform approves Postline’s app. We don’t have dates to promise. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it changes.
One email when Postline can deliver to a real platform, and when pricing is set. Nothing else.
