With this option, only admins can then schedule posts, from my understanding. What if I want to have others be able to schedule posts (thinking our employees)?

our use case for something like this is to help facilitate conversations/reminders on topics about our events. We want to remind folks say 1 week, and then 1 day before the event via scheduled replies.

We would also use this to action a playbook that we have where we have set actions at particular times, for example, 1 month before the event, the event is created (can use regular scheduling for this). Then 1 week later, we introduce the presenter and source agenda topics/items for the event, so on & so forth…
