Start from a template, not a blank page
Pick a proven caption format — a story, a how-to, a list, a case study — and drop it into the composer in one click. Pair it with saved replies for the comments you answer again and again.
What are content templates in Schedulin?
Content templates are ready-made caption structures — a hook, a story, a list, a how-to — with fill-in-the-blank placeholders such as {{list of 5}}. You browse them under Create → Templates or in the Templates tab of the post composer, and one click drops the text into your caption.
Saved replies are the other half: reusable responses your workspace writes once and inserts into comment replies in the social inbox, with the commenter's name filled in automatically.
What can you do with Content Templates?
Built-in caption library
Proven post structures written by the Schedulin team, each with placeholder slots for your own details.
Filter by format
Browse by tag: Tip, Case Study, Story, How-to, Question, Opinion, List, and Behind the scenes.
Apply in one click
Pick a template in the composer's Templates tab and it fills the caption for the selected account, then switches to the preview.
Saved replies
Write replies to common comments once under Settings → Saved Replies, then insert them from the inbox reply box.
Replies shared with your team
Saved replies belong to the workspace, so everyone answering comments uses the same approved wording.
Personalized automatically
Use {name}, {handle}, or {firstName} in a saved reply and Schedulin fills in the commenter's details when you insert it.
How do you get started with Content Templates?
Pick a format
Browse the template library by tag and choose the structure that fits your idea.
Fill in the blanks
Replace the {{placeholder}} slots with your specifics and adjust the wording to your voice.
Schedule or reply
Schedule the finished post, and use saved replies to answer the comments it brings in.
How do templates and saved replies work?
Templates help you write posts; saved replies help you answer the comments those posts bring in. Both are a click away where you need them.
Where templates live
Open Create → Templates to browse the full library — Use Template copies the text and opens the composer with the caption filled in. Inside the composer, the Templates tab applies a template directly, and the Home dashboard suggests a few to try.
What a template contains
A template is caption text only — no media, accounts, or hashtags — so it works on any network. Add a hashtag group from the composer's # button when you want tags.
Placeholders
Double-brace slots such as {{list of 5}} mark where your specifics go. They aren't filled automatically, so replace each one before you schedule.
Managing saved replies
Create, edit, and delete saved replies under Settings → Saved Replies. Each has a name of up to 100 characters and content of up to 1,000 characters, and names are unique within a workspace.
Using saved replies in the inbox
In the social inbox reply box, your first three saved replies appear as quick chips next to “Replying to @author”, and a Saved Replies menu lists the rest. Picking one replaces the current draft.
AI help for replies
A Suggest reply button drafts a response to a comment with AI, and the AI chat assistant can read your saved replies to match your team's wording.

Content Templates FAQ
Can I save my own posts as templates?
Not currently — templates come from Schedulin's built-in library. To reuse one of your own posts, open its menu and choose Duplicate Post, which copies the caption, account, and media into a new post.
What kinds of templates are included?
The library covers common post formats, tagged Tip, Case Study, Story, How-to, Question, Opinion, List, and Behind the scenes. Filter by tag to find the right structure.
What are saved replies?
Saved replies are pre-written responses for the questions and comments you handle repeatedly. Insert one from the social inbox reply box to answer in seconds while staying on-brand.
Can saved replies include the commenter's name?
Yes. Write {name}, {handle}, or {firstName} in a saved reply and Schedulin replaces it with the commenter's details when you insert the reply.
Are saved replies shared with my team?
Yes. Saved replies belong to your workspace, so everyone on your team can use and edit the same set.
Do templates work on every network?
Yes. Templates are plain caption text, so they work anywhere. Keep each network's length limits in mind — X, for example, allows 280 characters on a standard post.
Are templates and saved replies included on every plan?
Yes. Both are included on every plan, starting with Starter at $5/mo.
