Use Planner to create TikTok posts and Instagram Reels, save drafts, schedule publishing, resolve issues, and manage publishing records in one place.

Planner is where you plan, schedule, publish, and track TikTok posts and Instagram Reels in one place. Each row is an independent publishing record with its own video, settings, status, and result.

Creative work such as topics, scripts, and Summary stays in My Projects. Planner starts when you have a finished video to publish.

Overview

Use the tabs at the top to filter publishing records:

TabWhat's in it
AllEvery Planner record
DraftA post's settings have been saved but not submitted
ProcessingA post is scheduled or is currently being published
Publish IssueFypro needs you to finish a step or retry a failed post
PublishedPosts confirmed live on TikTok or Instagram

Use the Channel filter to show All channels, TikTok, or Instagram records. Use search to find a record by the text shown in its Caption column. The list also shows:

  • Post — the video's cover or thumbnail; a placeholder is shown when no image is available;
  • Caption — the post caption, or the available source video or file name before a caption is saved; an em dash (—) is shown when no display text is available;
  • Source — where the post was started, such as AI Studio, Assets, or Planner;
  • Channel — TikTok or Instagram;
  • Publish Time — the scheduled or actual publish time;
  • Status and Status Message — the current stage and what happens next; and
  • Action — the next available operation.

When more information is available, a record can also show its scheduled time, actual publish time, and published link.

Web

Path: Left navigation → Planner

Steps:

  1. Open Planner.
  2. Filter records with All, Draft, Processing, Publish Issue, or Published.
  3. Use Search to find a record by the text currently shown in Caption.
  4. Review Post, Caption, Source, Publish Time, Status, Status Message, and Action.

App

Path: Bottom navigation → calendar icon

Steps:

  1. Tap the calendar icon.
  2. Select a date.
  3. Review the publishing records for that date.
  4. Tap the plus icon to create a plan, or tap the draft icon to open Draft.

The table and list-field descriptions above apply to Fypro on the web.

Starting a post

Use Create Post to start a new publishing flow:

  1. Select the finished video you want to publish.
  2. Choose TikTok or Instagram.
  3. Fypro checks whether the selected channel is connected and whether the video meets that channel's current publishing requirements.
  4. Select Go to publish to open a new publishing form.
  5. Complete the post settings, then publish now or schedule it.

TikTok and Instagram are authorized independently. If the selected channel is not connected, select Connect TikTok or Connect Instagram and complete authorization first. Connecting one channel does not connect the other.

Instagram publishing requires a connected Instagram professional account and supports Reels only. Photos, carousel posts, Stories, and Live content are not supported in this flow.

Opening a new publishing form does not create a Planner record. If you leave a new form, save it as a Fypro Draft or discard it. A discarded new form creates no Planner record.

You can also start from the Publish action in Assets or AI Studio. When a Planner record is created, its Source is saved and does not change when you continue, schedule, or retry the post.

The same video can be published more than once. Each saved draft or new submission creates a separate Planner record, even if an earlier record is still a Draft, is Processing, has a Publish Issue, or is already Published.

In the Planner list, the selected video's cover appears under Post. The text saved in the publishing form appears under Caption. Until a caption is saved, Planner may use the source video or file name as temporary identifying text.

Publishing through Fypro

The form reflects the channel you select.

TikTok

The TikTok publishing form includes:

FieldDetails
Video fileMP4 or MOV · 9:16 ratio · max 4 GB · max 10 minutes
Cover imageAuto-captured from the first frame, or upload your own
CaptionEnter your own caption or select an AI recommendation after the video uploads
HashtagsSelect or remove AI-recommended hashtags; selected tags are added to the caption without duplicates
PrivacyPublic, Friends, Followers, or Only me · required, with no default
InteractionsTurn comments, Duets, and Stitches on or off
Publish timePost now, or schedule up to 10 days out
Disclose contentRequired for branded or sponsored content

After the video uploads, Fypro automatically generates TikTok caption and hashtag recommendations. The recommendations do not replace your caption until you select one. Use Regenerate if you want a new set.

Select Confirm & Publish to TikTok when everything is ready. Keep the page open while the upload is in progress.

Instagram Reels

The Instagram publishing form includes:

FieldDetails
Instagram accountYour connected Instagram professional account
Video fileMP4 or MOV · 3 seconds to 15 minutes · max 300 MB · 9:16 recommended
Caption and hashtagsOptional; you can publish with both empty. The combined limit is 2,200 characters and up to 30 hashtags.
CollaboratorsOptional; add up to 3 Instagram collaborators
LocationOptional; search for and select one location
AI-generated contentAn optional label. It is on automatically for Fypro AI-generated videos; for other videos, you can turn it on when needed.
Publish timePublish now or schedule a future publish time

Enter Instagram captions and hashtags directly in the form. Instagram does not show AI caption or hashtag recommendations in this flow.

Select Publish now to review the post and confirm publishing, or select Schedule Publish to choose a future date, time, and time zone. A scheduled Instagram Reel is saved in Fypro Planner, not as an Instagram draft. It does not appear in Instagram until Fypro publishes it at the scheduled time.

What happens next:

  • A successful immediate post moves from Processing to Published.
  • A scheduled post stays in Processing and shows its scheduled time until Fypro publishes it.
  • A TikTok post sent to TikTok Inbox moves to Publish Issue until you finish it in TikTok and add the published link.
  • A failed post moves to Publish Issue so you can review it and retry.
  • Published Instagram records do not show View Stats, and Planner does not provide Instagram analytics.

  1. Review Video file, Cover image, Caption, Hashtags, Privacy, Interactions, Publish time, and Disclose content.

Resolving publishing issues

Sent to TikTok Inbox (TikTok only)

Open TikTok, finish editing and publish the video there, then return to Planner and select Add Published Link. Paste the final TikTok link to confirm the post as Published. Instagram Reels do not use TikTok Inbox.

Publishing failed

Select Retry Publish to review the selected channel's account connection and post settings, then try again. Follow the Status Message shown on the record.

Fypro filters technical errors before displaying them, so Planner shows a clear next step instead of technical error details.

Scheduled publishing failed

The Status Message shows the failed schedule time. Select Retry Publish to review the post and submit it again. If you no longer want to publish it on the scheduled time, cancel the schedule before it runs to return the record to Draft.

Planner and My Projects

Planner records are independent from projects in My Projects:

  • Creating, scheduling, publishing, retrying, or deleting a Planner record does not change the creative stage shown in My Projects.
  • Editing or deleting a project in My Projects does not change an existing Planner record.
  • A finished video can have multiple Planner records when it is published more than once.
  • You do not need a project in My Projects to create a post in Planner.

FAQ

Which channels can Planner publish to?

Planner currently supports TikTok posts and Instagram Reels. Instagram publishing is limited to Reels in this flow.

What do I need to publish an Instagram Reel?

Connect an Instagram professional account, select Instagram in the publishing flow, and use a video that meets the Instagram Reel requirements shown above.

Why is there no Planner record after I opened a new form?

Opening a new form does not create a record. Save it as a Draft or submit it to create a Planner record; discard it if you do not want to keep it.

Why does my Draft show Continue instead of Publish?

The Planner record already exists. Continue reopens its saved publishing form so you can finish the same record without creating a duplicate.

Why is a scheduled post shown as Processing?

Processing covers both Scheduled and Publishing records. Read the Status Message for the scheduled time or current publishing progress.

Why is a post in Publish Issue if it was sent to TikTok?

TikTok Inbox is a TikTok-only handoff. Finish publishing in TikTok and return with the final link; the post is not confirmed Published until that step is complete.

Can I change or cancel a scheduled Instagram Reel?

Yes. Before its publish time, select Edit to change the schedule or Cancel schedule to return it to Draft. The video and settings remain saved in Fypro.

Why is there no View Stats button for my Instagram Reel?

Planner does not provide Instagram analytics. TikTok publishing records continue to use the available TikTok post actions.

Can I publish the same video again?

Yes. Each new saved draft or submission creates a separate Planner record and does not overwrite an earlier one.
