Schedule a weekly Skool post and pin it

1. An admin opens the group feed, writes the post in the composer and picks a category, usually an admin-only one such as Announcements set up under Settings > Community > Categories.
2. After publishing, the admin opens the post, clicks the Three Dots Menu and chooses Pin to feed, or Pin to course page to show it inside a Classroom lesson.
3. Skool holds at most 3 pinned posts in the feed, so last week's challenge has to be unpinned before the new one fits next to the rules and start-here pins.
4. The whole routine happens by hand every week: the Skool Help Center describes no way to schedule a post for later, so a missed Monday means a quiet week.

Every Monday at 9:00, post this week's challenge in the Announcements category of yourgroup, pin it to the feed and unpin last week's challenge.

1. 01

   Find last week's pin

   Your agent reads the Announcements category with list_posts and looks for its own pinned post from the previous run, matched by the title pattern you gave ("Week N challenge").

2. 02

   Check the pin budget

   If three posts are already pinned and none of them is last week's challenge, the agent stops and asks which pin to drop, because the other pins (rules, start here) are usually ones you chose by hand.

3. 03

   Publish the new post

   create_post goes into the category you named. If that category is admin-only and the account is a moderator, the agent reports the role problem instead of posting into a different category.

4. 04

   Swap the pins

   pin_post pins the new post and sets pinned to false on last week's challenge. Pinning reaches nobody and is undone with one call, so it does not wait for your OK; the post itself does by default.

5. 05

   Report the link

   The agent returns the new post URL and the current pin list, so you can check the feed from your phone.

• Skool allows up to 3 pinned posts in the community feed and up to 12 pinned posts on each Classroom page, and one post can be pinned to both at once.
• Skool documents pinning as an admin ability, so the account behind this job should be a group admin rather than a moderator.
• A Skool group can have up to 10 categories, each set to Members or Admins posting permission, and an Admins category accepts posts from admins only.
• Each Skool category has its own sort (Default by engagement, New, Top week or Top month), so an Announcements category sorted by New always shows the latest post first.
• Skool members can turn on email for Admin announcements in their notification settings, so a post from an admin can reach their inbox as well as the feed.

create_post asks for your OK by default. To run it weekly without you, switch confirmation off for that tool in your dashboard.
