  • Create one calendar that exports to common workflows and is easy to share

How it works — quick workflow

  • Enter a 1–2 sentence brief or pick a template (launch, editorial, event, seasonal)
  • Set cadence, timezone, and channel preferences
  • Review the editable calendar grid and the itemized briefs for each entry
  • Export or share the schedule with stakeholders

Is the calendar generator really free to try and what limits apply?

You can try the calendar generator for free to create and preview schedules. Some advanced features—such as team seats, bulk exports, or extended template libraries—may require a Texta account or subscription. For current plans and feature boundaries, see /pricing.

How do I export the generated calendar into my workflows or calendar apps?

Generated calendars can be exported as CSV or iCal-compatible files for import into spreadsheets and calendar apps. You can also copy itemized content briefs into your CMS or scheduling tools to create posts and tasks.

Can I customize cadence, timezone, and publishing windows for my team?

Yes. When you generate a calendar, you set cadence and timezone preferences. Each calendar entry includes a suggested publishing window that you can edit to match your team’s availability and audience timezones.

How does the generator handle recurring events and multi-day campaigns?

Choose recurrence and campaign length when setting up a template or brief. The generator will place recurring entries and multi-day campaign checkpoints (pre-launch, reminders, follow-ups) across the schedule so you get a complete timeline.

What controls exist to align output with brand voice and style guidelines?

Use the brief to specify brand voice, tone, and style constraints. After generation, edit each entry’s caption and notes to enforce internal guidelines. Save preferred phrasing or templates for consistent future outputs.

How should I use the generated calendar with my CMS or scheduling tools?

Export the itemized briefs or CSV and import the rows into your CMS or social scheduler. Use the brief fields (title, caption, channel, publish window) to populate content fields; attach assets and assign tasks in your project management tool to complete the workflow.

What data is stored and how is user input handled for privacy?

User-provided briefs and generated calendars are stored to allow editing and sharing. For details on storage, retention, and privacy practices, review the privacy information on /about or contact support. Avoid pasting sensitive credentials or PII into briefs.

What are best practices for turning a draft calendar into an actionable campaign plan?

Review and edit each entry for brand voice, assign owners for production tasks, attach assets, and add deadlines in your project management tool. Schedule checkpoints for approvals and analytics tracking points to measure performance post-publish.
