Description

### Impacted plugin

Social

### What

As the title says, it would be nice for users to be able to schedule when their auto-shares happen

### How

Sharing from [this forum post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/share-10-minutes-after-post-is-published/) where the user asked the following:

> Hello, is it possible to share the post to social media after 10 or 20 minutes of its publishing? Thanks

This may already be on the team's roadmap and tracked somewhere else. If so, please feel free to delete this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Social plugin and the linked WordPress support request about sharing 10 or 20 minutes after publication. Determine where post-publication sharing is initiated and how a user-configurable delay would fit. Done means users can set the delay and auto-shares occur at the selected time.
