Mastering the Art of Recurring Social Posts with AI Spintax
Automate, Diversify, and Scale Your Content Strategy
As a marketing agency or social media manager, you've likely faced the tedious grind of publishing similar posts repeatedly. Whether it's a motivational Monday quote, a weekly product feature, or a brand awareness post—the content becomes stale, performance drops, and your team burns out. Enter Postly's Recurring Post Module with AI Spintax: a powerful automation engine designed to scale content publication without sounding repetitive, helping brands stay consistent, engaging, and effective.
🔁 What Is Spintax and Why Does It Matter?
Spintax (short for "spin syntax") is a technique used to generate multiple variations of a sentence or phrase using a structured format. The structure typically looks like this:
{option1|option2|option3}
When used in recurring posts, Spintax allows Postly to randomly select one of the options during each scheduled post, keeping your content fresh, non-repetitive, and engaging. For example:
{Hello|Hi|Hey} there, {friend|marketer|creative}!
Can generate:
- Hello there, friend!
- Hey there, creative!
- Hi there, marketer!
Perfect for:
- Daily tips
- Weekly promotions
- Reposting evergreen content without sounding robotic
🛠 Postly's Recurring Post Module – Key Features
Here's what makes this module a game-changer:
1. AI Spintax Generation
Write one base post and let AI rewrite it into dozens of natural-sounding variations. No robotic language. No repetition.
Use Case: Create a content series like "Tips of the Week." With Spintax, each tip sounds unique without manual rewriting.
2. Custom Scheduling Rules
Set a post to repeat every:
- Week (e.g., every Monday at 8AM)
- Month (e.g., 1st of every month)
- Custom cadence (e.g., every 3 days, or 2nd Friday of the month)
Use Case: Auto-schedule posts like reminders, testimonials, or evergreen promotions—hands-free.
3. Platform-Specific Customization
Tailor captions, formats, and media per platform—Instagram gets a short version, LinkedIn gets long-form.
Use Case: A single recurring campaign can run differently on Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook with zero extra work.
4. Media Variation with Postly Cloud
Randomly or sequentially rotate attached images/videos stored in Postly Cloud—no more repeating the same visual!
Use Case: A recurring product showcase that cycles through your top 10 visuals every time it's posted.
5. Dynamic Hashtags & First Comments
Auto-inject relevant hashtags and include them in the first comment for Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn.
Use Case: Make your content look cleaner while boosting discoverability—especially for weekly content with rotating topics.
6. Pause, Resume & Revise Anytime
Edit, pause, or resume any recurring post at will to adapt to changing strategies.
Use Case: Pause a promotion when inventory runs out or revise copy after a trend shift.
✍️ Manually Writing Spintax
You can create Spintax manually right inside your recurring post content area in Postly. Here's how:
✅ Basic Spintax Syntax
{Hi|Hello|Hey} there! Check out our latest blog post on {marketing|growth hacking|digital strategy}.
This can generate:
- Hi there! Check out our latest blog post on growth hacking.
- Hey there! Check out our latest blog post on digital strategy.
- Hello there! Check out our latest blog post on marketing.
✅ Nesting Spintax (Advanced)
{Hi|Hello|Hey} {everyone|friends|folks}, let’s {start|kick off} the day with {some|a bit of} {inspiration|motivation}.
This enables hundreds of variations and sounds much more natural to your audience.
🧪 Spintax Code Validation
Postly includes real-time validation for Spintax to help prevent errors in your syntax. Common Errors:
- Unclosed brackets: {Great|Awesome
- No separator: {GreatAwesome}
- Incomplete nesting: {Hi|Hello {world|everyone}}
Validation Features:
- Syntax highlighting
- Error messages for unbalanced braces
- Tooltip suggestions
Pro tip: Before publishing, preview a few generated outputs to ensure your variations make sense.
