Social media scheduler for schools, colleges and universities

Postprism is a social media scheduler for schools, colleges and universities that puts term dates, events and open days on one calendar. Staff draft posts, the communications lead approves them, and Postprism publishes on time to LinkedIn, YouTube, X and three more networks.

What makes social media hard for schools and colleges

Parents, students and alumni all follow you. Teachers have lessons to plan.

Many people want to post

Departments, clubs and the sports teams all have news, and it usually arrives as an email to one person.

Every post needs a second look

A wrong date or a misspelt name on the school page reaches every parent, so someone has to check first.

The year runs on fixed dates

Term dates, open days, exams and results days come round every year and each needs reminders.

Each audience lives somewhere else

Parents are on Facebook, students on Instagram and TikTok, alumni and partners on LinkedIn.

Events happen after hours

Concerts, matches and prize evenings end late, and the post the next morning is easy to forget.

Communications is one person

In most schools the marketing or office lead runs social media alongside the website and newsletter.

How to schedule school and college posts with Postprism

Four steps from the school calendar to approved posts.

  1. 01
    Connect your accounts

    Connect the school’s LinkedIn Company Page, YouTube channel, X account and TikTok on the Platforms page.

  2. 02
    Invite your staff

    Add department leads as Editors who draft posts, and the communications lead as an Admin who approves them.

  3. 03
    Load the school year

    Upload term dates, open days and events as a CSV with Bulk Upload, or add them one by one on the calendar.

  4. 04
    Approve and publish

    Staff submit posts for review. Once an Owner or Admin approves, Postprism publishes them at the time you set.

The posts an education team plans every term.

Plan the school term with your AI assistant

Postprism runs an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients can turn the school calendar into scheduled posts.

Checks your accounts

list_platforms confirms the school’s X account and LinkedIn Page are connected.

Avoids double posts

list_posts shows what is already on the calendar for the month.

Fills the term

create_post schedules each reminder at the time you asked for.

On every plan

Sign in with your Postprism account; no code needed.

You ask

Here are this term’s key dates. Schedule an X post and a LinkedIn post at 8:00 AM two days before each one, and list what is already scheduled for November.

Postprism tools it uses
  • list_platformsThe social accounts connected to a workspace.
  • list_postsList posts in a workspace, filtered by status (draft, scheduled, published).
  • create_postCreate a post from base content, target platforms and optional per-platform versions. Without a date it is saved as a draft; with scheduled_at it is scheduled.
