Postoria now supports comment publishing delays

Postoria now supports comment publishing delays, giving you more control over when comments are published with your social media posts.

Until now, when you added a comment to a post, Postoria published it right after the post went live. That is still the default behavior. With this update, you can also choose to publish the comment after a delay.

This is useful when you want a comment to appear shortly after the main post, keep captions cleaner, add extra context later, or apply a consistent comment workflow across a workspace.

What is new

You can now control comment publishing timing in four places:

• In the post editor
• In workspace settings for new posts
• In Bulk Upload CSV files
• In the Postoria Public API

For each post, the comment can be published with the post or after a delay in minutes.

The default behavior has not changed: if no delay is set, the comment is published with the post.

Set comment timing in the post editor

When a post includes a comment, you can now choose how that comment should be published.

Use the comment timing control in the comment editor to choose between:

• Publish with post
• Publish after delay

If you choose a delay, enter the number of minutes Postoria should wait after the post is published before publishing the comment.

This makes the timing clear at the post level. If one post needs a delayed comment and another does not, you can set them differently without changing your whole workspace.

Set a workspace default for new posts

Workspace settings now include a default comment delay for new posts.

This is helpful when your team usually wants the same comment timing. For example, you may want most new posts to publish comments with a short delay instead of changing the setting manually every time.

The workspace default is applied when a new post is created. After that, the post keeps its own comment delay setting, so you can still adjust individual posts when needed.

If the workspace default is empty, new posts publish comments with the post by default.

Use Comment Delay in Bulk Upload

Bulk Upload now supports a Comment Delay column in CSV files.

This works alongside the existing First Comment column. Add your comment text in First Comment, then use Comment Delay to control when that comment should be published.

Example:

Caption,First Comment,Comment Delay
"New product update is live","More details in the comments",2

Use these values for Comment Delay:

• Leave the field empty to use the workspace default when the draft post is created
• Enter 0 to publish the comment with the post
• Enter a number from 1 to 120 to publish the comment after that many minutes

This makes comment timing easier to manage when preparing many posts from a spreadsheet.

Why this helps

Comment publishing delays are useful for teams that want more control over how comments appear after publishing.

For example, you can use comments to add:

• Extra details that do not need to be in the main caption
• Hashtags or supporting context
• A follow-up note after the post goes live
• Additional campaign information
• A cleaner separation between the main post and supporting text

Some teams prefer comments to appear immediately. Others prefer a short delay. This update supports both workflows.

A note on good comment practices

Comment delay is a timing tool. It should not be used to work around spammy posting behavior.

For the best results, keep comments relevant to the post, avoid repetitive copy across many posts, and follow the rules of each social network you publish to.

Postoria will continue to apply network-specific validation rules where comments are supported.

Final thoughts

Comment publishing delays give you a simple way to control when comments are published without changing your main scheduling workflow.

You can keep publishing comments with posts as before, set a default delay for new posts in a workspace, override timing per post, or manage delays at scale with Bulk Upload.

It is a small update, but it gives teams more flexibility when planning and publishing social media content in Postoria.
