How to find my failed posts

DesktopStart


Posts tab


The Posts tab in Publer or the Calendar tab is where you will be able to find all of your posts, from scheduled to published to failed, etc.


The Failed posts tab will include any posts that have not been published due to common issues such as reauthorization, the post not being approved in time, temporary downtime, API restrictions from the social networks, etc.


Failed Posts


To find the failed posts, you simply need to filter posts by Failed in the Calendar tab:


  • Go to the Calendar tab and choose the Feed view.



  • Next, in the dropdown menu for posts, filter by Failed to view all the failed posts.


Failed Posts


  • To understand why the post failed: Simply hover the mouse over the red exclamation mark at the bottom left corner of the post.


Failed Posts Error


  • The message will tell you why the post failed. For example, it may have failed because it was not approved on time by the other members.


If a post was created for multiple social accounts and one of them fails, only the post for that specific social account will be marked as Failed. Posts that were successfully published will remain published, while any posts that are still scheduled will remain in the scheduling queue.


In this case, you can reuse the post and send it for approval again, so it goes back to the scheduling queue. Feel free to use the internal notes to tag other members and notify them about the post.


Workaround


Once you understand why your post failed, simply take the necessary steps to resolve the issue and then reschedule it.


For example, you may need to ask another member to approve the post in time. In other cases, you may need to reauthorize the social account first and then reschedule the post.


After you have resolved the issue, you simply need to select the post and reuse it:


  • Select the post by clicking on the circle icon on the left side of the post.
  • Then, click on Reuse.
  • You will be redirected to the Create page, where you can make any necessary changes to the post.
  • Finally, schedule the post again so it goes back to the scheduling queue.
