Any free calendar plugin available for tracking social media content with custom fields?

[Darleen Sy]

I’m looking for a free calendar plugin for Jira that allows me to manage social media content. Specifically, I need to:

1. Filter and display content based on the "Channel" custom field (for example, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.).
2. Clearly visualize the "Publish Date", as opposed to the default "Due Date" field, to track when content is set to go live.

I’d appreciate any recommendations for a plugin that can help me do this. Ideally, I’m looking for a solution that allows me to manage multiple platforms in one calendar and keep track of publishing dates clearly. I’d also prefer it to support Jira’s custom fields so I can filter tasks according to the social media channel the content will be posted.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @Darleen Sy , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

Could you / have you tried a Jira business project? There is a calendar feature there where you can see the issues in a calendar view. I understand what you are saying abou the inflexibility of the due date, but you can also just work in the project as if the due date is the deadline for publication, no?

I don't know of any apps for this but I am sure other people do so I will let them respond. I just wanted to suggest this if you hadn't already evaluated it for your use case.

Best wishes
