What Are the Key Capabilities of the Social Calendar in Birdeye?

Updated this week

The Social Calendar in Birdeye helps you plan, manage, and track your social media content across all locations and channels from one centralized view. It gives teams a clear snapshot of what’s scheduled and what’s already published—making it easier to stay organized and aligned on your social strategy.

With flexible week and month views, advanced filtering options, and AI-powered recommendations, the Social Calendar enables you to plan content more effectively and post at optimal times for engagement. Built-in AI suggestions also assist with content creation, helping you streamline planning and execution.

Unified View

The Social Calendar provides a single, consolidated view of all scheduled and published social posts across locations and channels. This centralized layout makes it easy to see what content is going live, what’s already published, and what’s coming up.

You can view the calendar in three different views: List, Week, and Month. Select the preferred view in the top right corner of the page.
