If i schedule a post for friday and forget to check will it still go out

Yes. If you set it to auto-publish, it goes out Friday without you. You only check if you want to. That's the real problem: the post sitting in drafts because you got busy. You meant to hit publish. The day got away. Now the feed is quiet for a week. Here's how the social agent handles it: 1. Connect your channels once. 2. Pick the social media agent. 3. Write or approve the post and the time. 4. Choose auto-publish, or keep approval on if you want the final look. 5. On Friday it publishes. You get the result, not a reminder to chase. If you leave approval on and miss the window, it waits for you. That's the trade. Auto-publish means the cadence holds while you're working on something else. Approval means you keep the last word. Pick auto-publish for the routine posts. Keep approval for the ones that need your voice. Two options, one setting per post. You can change it any time from your dashboard.
