There are no limits to the number of collaborators you can have in PlanITPDQ. We believe that marketing is a team sport, and want to encourage you to have everyone on the same page. Invite away!
Yes! It’s ideal for this purpose because you can pin projects to a date on a calendar, and can sort them by category. Customize your PlanIT into sections such as Blog Posts, Podcasts, Byline Opportunities, Press Releases, Email Newsletters – whatever matches your content process. PlanITPDQ is completely customizable.
Absolutely. Create a Project for each event, and assign it beginning and end dates – they’ll be pinned to a real calendar. Many users create several categories to organize their events: Events We’re Attending, Events Considering, Events We’re Exhibiting At, etc. Drag and drop Projects from one category to the other as needed. Enter any URLs into the Project so that you can link to the event web page. Plus, if you assign a collaborator to an event, it will create and send a calendar invite to that person. It’s easy to keep your team on the same page.
We think this functionality is covered pretty well by tools such as Buffer and HootSuite, and it is not a part of PlanITPDQ. Instead, we focus on enabling you to customize a calendar to view all of your marketing activities – blog posts, videos, email campaigns, events, earned media opportunities, etc. – via one screen. Our focus is organization and collaboration, and we leave the actual posting to any of the other great tools on the market.
PlanITPDQ is in beta, and we are still making tweaks before we do a commercial launch. We have not set that date, but we have made a commitment to all users who sign up for a beta account: you will receive a lifetime discount on PlanITPDQ for being among the first. Thank you to those who have signed up, and to everyone else, g’head, start an account! In exchange, we’d welcome any feedback – good and bad.
There obviously is risk in using any online software application, including PlanITPDQ. That’s why we created a feature where you can download your editorial calendar in .csv format. You can import that into Excel, Google Sheets, or any other database that reads .csv files. We strongly suggest that you do this frequently so that you always have a backup of your work.

Right now there are no limits – we want people to use PlanITPDQ and come up with new ideas on how to make it useful. At some point we will create tiered subscription levels, but for now, go nuts.
Yes. PlanITPDQ opens with a set framework of Categories, but you can add, change, and delete them at any time. The first iteration of PlanITPDQ organized your Categories in the order you created them. But now you can re-order the Categories in any way you’d like.
Yes, you can add any .ics file to your PlanIT! Simply edit your PlanIT and add a Calendar channel. Follow these instructions.
We would love your feedback. Feel free to reach out directly via email, or click on the menu icon in the upper left hand corner of the PlanitPDQ.app menu bar and select “Send Feedback”.
Check out the How To page on PlanITPDQ.com. There are lots of documents and a couple of videos that walk you through all of the features. Or just shoot us an email and we’ll set up a time for a screen share. We’ll get you going in no time.
First of all, check to make sure that you are an authorized user of the Google Analytics account: login to analytics.google.com. If you can’t access analytics for the website you’re trying to track then you need to ask the site owner for permission. If you can, you’re authorized. Check your Settings in the upper right hand corner of the menu bar of PlanITPDQ.app. If you have more than one Gmail address or Google Analytics account, you might have inadvertently disconnected from the one you want. Simply reconnect and start again. If that doesn’t work, just shoot us an email and we’ll help you troubleshoot it.
PlanITPDQ is a marketing organization platform, not a social media scheduler. We think Hootsuite and Buffer are awesome tools, and don’t attempt to do what they do. Use PlanITPDQ to keep track of all of your marketing activities in a visual timeline so that you can see gaps and overlaps.
Send it over via email and we’ll answer within one business day, and will post the answer here for others. Thank you!
