Untimely

Use case

Keep your publishing queue moving. Let the posting time vary.

To vary automated posting times, point an Untimely Webhook event at the endpoint that publishes your next queued post and choose an allowed window. The request below asks for one trigger per two-day interval, during 15:00–22:00 on eligible weekdays in America/Toronto. Varied timing does not make a post human-authored or guarantee that a platform will treat it differently; your publishing tool handles content and platform rules.

API example

Prefer the API? Create an API key in dashboard settings, then adapt this request:

curl -sS "https://untimely.app/api/events" \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $UNTIMELY_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "idempotency-key: human-feeling-posts-001" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Post inside the chosen window",
    "scheduleType": "random",
    "interval": 2,
    "frequency": 1,
    "betweenTimeStart": "15:00",
    "betweenTimeEnd": "22:00",
    "timezone": "America/Toronto",
    "daysOfWeek": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
    "actionType": "WEBHOOK",
    "webhook": {
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "https://example.com/publisher/post-next"
    }
  }'

Choose a rhythm you can keep

Pick the days and hours when you want posts to go out, then set the number of triggers per interval. Your queue keeps supplying the content; Untimely chooses the moments to publish it. Adjust the window when your publishing routine changes.

Keep the publishing tools you already use

Connect a Webhook action to your own publishing service or an automation tool’s incoming hook. That endpoint selects and publishes the next post. Your content queue and platform credentials stay with that service.

Start with one publishing schedule

Create a free account, choose Webhook, and enter the endpoint that publishes your next queued item. Set a random window and review the schedule before saving. Check the first delivery in event history and confirm the post in your publishing tool. Keep platform permissions, disclosures, and rate limits in that tool.

FAQ

Before you set it up

Does Untimely post to social platforms directly?

No. Untimely has Email, Webhook, and Slack actions; your endpoint or automation tool does the posting. That separation keeps platform credentials with you.

Can the content vary too?

On Pro, generated email content can vary the wording per run. For social posts, your publishing endpoint chooses the content.

Can I skip weekends?

Yes. Choose the allowed days in the dashboard, or supply daysOfWeek in your API request.
