I have a private category that is set to Admin only. It is where I create weekly announcements or other posts that I want to schedule. I will publish the topic in there, and then use the “Set topic timer” to publish when it is time. Here is my question: I have a post that I want to schedule. I need to be able to mention a specific group in this post to make sure the members see it when published. If I mention the group and then publish to the private category, will they get notified now? Also, will they get notified once it is published in the correct category?

I do not think so. A workaround is to edit the post after it is published and add the group mention.

Well that is unfortunate. I guess I’ll just leave the topic as a draft and publish manually.

Are there other topics in that category? I wonder if it would help if members of the group were watching the private category by default. [image] Watching first post notifications usually work for scheduled publishing (I think there is an exception if Disable category edit notifications is enabled)
