Migrate from Later

Later schedules. SnapDraft produces what you schedule.

Add SnapDraft upstream of Later so the calendar is filled with on-brand assets, not empty slots.

When this switch makes sense

  • Scheduling is fine but asset creation is late
  • You plan captions before visuals exist
  • You need batch export into the scheduler

Keep vs move

Keep using Later for: Later for planning, scheduling, and publishing.

Move to SnapDraft: Creating the visual batch that fills the queue.

Migration steps

  1. Keep Later as the scheduling layer
  2. Produce the week in SnapDraft from CSV + Brand DNA
  3. Export and upload into Later (or your queue)
  4. Use Canvas before upload when stakeholders tweak copy
