prescheduling

Planning times beforehand

Prescheduling is arranging something in advance, before the normal scheduling process would occur.

The term emphasizes earliness—not just scheduling, but scheduling ahead of time: The app allows prescheduling of posts so they publish while you sleep.

Common in contexts involving appointments, social media, and automated systems.
