Scheduled Tweets
You can now schedule Tweets to be posted in the future. Both organic and promoted-only Tweets can be scheduled for future delivery, and as needed, coordinated to go live with new or existing campaigns.
Anything that can be calendared in advance can be scheduled, such as new product releases or regular updates. In addition, you can use this feature to publish Tweets on the weekend, evenings, or other inconvenient times — to keep your Twitter presence lively around the clock. Tweets can be scheduled up to a year in advance and down to 1-minute granularity.

I can’t find the “Creatives” tab

After adding a credit card, you will have access to all cards (website, mobile app promotion, etc.), conversion tracking, audience manager, and also the ability to schedule and manage Tweets through the “Creatives” tab.

How to create a scheduled Tweet
Arrow down iconThere are two ways to create scheduled Tweets — via the creatives tab, or the Tweet composer at the top right of Twitter Ads.
To get started, either:
- Click the Tweet button at the top right of ads.twitter.com
OR
- Click the New Tweet button at the top right of the Tweets manager within the creatives tab
When the Tweet box pops up, add Tweet text, as well as a photo, location, or card as desired. Then, select from the following three options to decide how, where, and when you want your content delivered:
Delivery
- Standard — choose to deliver your Tweet organically, to all followers
- Promoted-only — only deliver your Tweet to users as part of a Promoted Tweet campaign; not organically to your followers.
Promotion
- If desired, add your Tweet to an existing Promoted Tweet campaign (optional)
Scheduling
- Post Now
- Custom Delivery — select a date and time in the future, up to 1 year in advance. Note the Time zone indicated; this is tied to the advertiser’s account.
Both organic and limited-delivery Tweets may be scheduled. Both types of Tweets will display in campaign setup, and can be targeted to an advertiser’s audience of choice.
- Click the Tweet button at the top right of ads.twitter.com

Adding scheduled Tweets to campaigns
