Find your best time to post
Ask your assistant when your posts get the most engagement. It reads your own history from Socialync, shows up to three posting windows per platform in your timezone, and lists the days with nothing scheduled.
Needs a paid plan. Connect an assistant first if you have not: setup guides.
The prompt
When do my posts get the most engagement? Show my best posting windows for each platform over the last 90 days in America/New_York, with how many posts are behind each window. Then check my calendar and tell me which days next week have nothing scheduled.
Swap in your own details. Example links and names are placeholders.
What the assistant does
Each step names the Socialync tool the assistant calls. A step with no tool is the assistant's own work or yours.
- 1
Pick the brand
Your assistant picks the brand to report on, or asks if you have several.
list_profiles - 2
Read your posting windows
It asks for your best days and times in your timezone, over the last 90 days or any window from 14 to 180 days. Each platform gets up to three windows, such as Tuesday 6 PM to 9 PM, with the number of posts behind it and the average engagement.
get_best_times - 3
Check the calendar
It reads what is already scheduled and lists the days with nothing on them.
get_scheduled_posts - 4
Propose slots
It matches your empty days with your best windows and proposes times. If you want a post at one of them, it writes it, checks it and shows it to you first.
validate_post - 5
Schedule or move on your yes
On your yes it schedules the new post at the window you picked, or moves a post that is already queued to a better time.
publish_scheduledupdate_scheduled_post
What you will be asked to confirm
- The proposed times, before anything is scheduled.
- A new post in full, or the exact change to a queued post: old time and new time.
Socialync tells your assistant to show you the exact post and wait for your yes in the chat before it publishes, schedules, replies or cancels anything. The publishing tools are marked as destructive, so clients that honor that also ask you to allow each call. You can switch on a confirmation dialog on the API Keys page that shows the exact post inside clients that support it. Socialync records who approved each post and when.
What you need
Plan
A paid plan (from $20 a month). Analytics are part of Socialync's paid plans.
Connected accounts
Accounts connected long enough to have posted a few times.
Assistants
Claude (claude.ai, Desktop and Code), ChatGPT, Grok, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI connect to Socialync. Any other assistant that supports MCP can too.
Also
- Your timezone, as an IANA name such as America/New_York. Otherwise Socialync uses the zone you usually schedule in.
Example result
Illustrative example with made-up posts and numbers. It does not come from a real account, and yours will use your own content.
Posting windows from your own history
| Platform | Window | Posts behind it | Average engagement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tue 6 PM to 9 PM | 9 | 212 | |
| Sat 10 AM to 1 PM | 5 | 168 | |
| Threads | Wed 12 PM to 3 PM | 6 | 41 |
| Bluesky | Thu 8 AM to 11 AM | 4 | 27 |
Limits that shape this recipe
- A window needs at least 2 posts to count, so an account with few posts gets few or no windows. The assistant should say so.
- Windows rank your past posts by average likes, comments and shares. They show when your audience engaged. Treat them as a starting point.
- YouTube is not included. No post numbers are collected for X, and LinkedIn rarely appears.
- A new time must be at least 3 minutes away and inside your plan's scheduling window.
