# Scheduling a Post

A post can be scheduled by updating or setting the `status` to `scheduled` and setting `published_at` to a datetime in the future:

<RequestExample>
  ```json theme={"dark"}
  // PUT admin/posts/5b7ada404f87d200b5b1f9c8/
  {
      "posts": [
          {
              "updated_at": "2022-06-05T20:52:37.000Z",
              "status": "scheduled",
              "published_at": "2023-06-10T11:00:00.000Z"
          }
      ]
  }
  ```
</RequestExample>

At the time specified in `published_at`, the post will be published, email newsletters will be sent (if applicable), and the status of the post will change to `published`. For email-only posts, the status will change to `sent`.
