Assistant trust switches

The switches that set what your assistant can do without asking you, and how many videos they can post per day.

VA mode → Settings has a card, What your assistant may do (it carries their name), with four switches. Each line under a switch says what happens while it is on. A new assistant starts with all four on. Custom links and video Auto DM is on for every assistant unless you turned it off. An assistant invited before October 5, 2026 keeps what they had for the other switches. You can change any of them at any time, and each saves by itself. (The phone app's VA mode card calls the first two Let my assistant post without asking me and Let my assistant cancel scheduled posts without asking me, under Without asking you.)

Post without asking me

Want to check their posts first? Turn this off. On, they post without asking you.

Off, their first posts wait for your OK. How many is the number right under the switch, Posts that wait for my OK first. Once that many of their posts have gone out, the rest post on their own (within the per-day limit and your posting hours): it is a ramp for a new assistant, not a permanent hold, and it does not start over each day. On, everything they schedule goes out at its time and that number is not used. You still see every post in VA mode's activity list.

Cancel scheduled posts without asking me

Off, they can't cancel a post that's waiting for your approval or one you already approved.

On, they can cancel any scheduled post that hasn't gone out yet, including ones waiting for you or ones you've approved.

Fix product matches and Coverage

On, they can check or change a video's product and mark Coverage; a match they check reads as checked by them. Off, they can schedule and post, and product matches and Coverage are read-only for them. (The phone app shows this as a Scope choice with the same two settings.)

Custom links and video Auto DM

On (the default), they can set, change or remove a custom link for a video or for every video of a product, and write a video's or product's own Auto DM message and trigger words. Each change shows in VA mode's activity list, marked Flagged. It never lets them change tracking IDs, connections, billing or your account. (The phone app calls it Let my assistant set custom links and video Auto DM.)

Off, a video's or product's custom link and its own Auto DM stay with you. Your assistant can open a video's link (Link: on a Composer card, My link in the mobile app) and its Auto DM and see what is set, with Custom links are off for assistants. Ask the account owner to turn on Custom links and video Auto DM in VA mode → Settings. in place of Save. A website link they paste into an Amazon paste box gets the same sentence instead of Use my own link instead.

Your usual Auto DM settings (on or off, trigger words, the message, the Comment LINK line) are not part of this switch: an assistant can already change those, and each change is flagged.

Videos your assistant can post per day

This is your limit for them (10 unless you change it, up to 200): how many videos your assistant can have going out on any one day, counting both scheduled posts and Post now. It was called Daily post cap. A video counts once for its day however many platforms it goes to, so one video sent to Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest uses one of the ten. It counts each video on the day it's set to go out, not the day your assistant scheduled it, so they can schedule a whole week in one sitting. Days follow the time zone in your posting schedule. When a day is full, a post scheduled for the next open slot moves to the next day with room; a post your assistant picked a time for on a full day is refused, and they are told how many videos a day you let them post. A cancelled video still counts toward its day. To let them post more, raise the number; the card shows how many are used today and how many are left.

Rolling out, account by account:

• A bigger default. An assistant whose number you never changed can post up to 50 videos a day instead of 10, enough for your whole day: your own platforms take at most 35 a day (10 Facebook, 10 Instagram, 5 YouTube, 10 Pinterest) unless you turned on higher limits. A number you set yourself stays as you set it. The card says when the number is still the default.
• What used the day. When a day is full your assistant is told what used it: how many of that day's videos they scheduled and how many they posted right away (for example 5 and 5 of 10), and that they can pick another day or ask you to raise it. The card shows the same split for today and how many times today your assistant reached the limit.
• Moves by the schedule. When the schedule itself moves one of your assistant's posts to another day (for example because that day already had YouTube's limit), the post counts on the day it now goes out, and the old day gets its place back unless something else of that video went out or is still due that day.

EverySqueeze support can also set the number for you if you ask; your assistant activity then shows that support changed it.
