Schedule post
Schedule a post for one or more profiles, optionally through an approval workflow.
MCP tool sprout_social_write → schedule_post
write Confirm
Schedules a post in Compose at the time you give. With approval_workflow set, the post goes to the Needs Approval tab and does not publish until someone approves it; if nobody approves it before the scheduled time, Sprout does not publish it. Without a workflow it publishes at the scheduled time to the public profile. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

| media_urls string[] | string[] | Public URLs of images or video to attach. |
