Scheduled Action: Edit or delete scheduled posts programmatically

Modify or remove queued/draft posts that already live in Statuz. Perfect for automation workflows that need to tweak dates, text, attachments, or accounts without opening the app UI.

Syntax

statuz://scheduled?action={edit|delete}&id={post-id}&[parameters]

• action=edit — Update an existing scheduled post.

• action=delete — Remove a scheduled post entirely.

Tips

• Run scheduled_list via MCP (or the built-in calendar) to find valid post IDs before editing.

• Use stealthMode=true for unattended automation; set to false when you want to review changes in the UI.

• URL-encode any JSON payloads (thread, threadOps, accounts) to avoid malformed URLs.

• Combine with Shortcuts, Raycast, Hazel, or cron jobs to maintain a zero-click content pipeline.
