Queue

Everything booked to publish, and everything that already did. Studio, then Queue.

Active shows pending, publishing and failed. History shows the last 20 published and skipped slots.

The header shows the next free slot in your schedule, so you know how far out you are booked.

Actions

Reschedule moves a pending slot. It refuses a time already booked for the same account, with "Another slot is already booked at that time."

Skip cancels a pending or failed slot. One way, and it does not touch the draft, so you can schedule it again later.

Retry puts a failed slot back to pending. It does not re-run immediately: the next scheduler tick picks it up, within a minute.

When a slot fails

The draft stays scheduled rather than reverting, so nothing is lost and you can inspect it.

Each publish gets 3 attempts with increasing backoff, so a transient network problem usually resolves itself. A slot that reaches failed has genuinely exhausted those.

Common causes:

CauseFix
Connection needs reauthReconnect under Settings, then Connections
Media missing or invalidRe-render the carousel, or re-upload the video
Platform rejected the contentRead the error on the slot, edit the draft, reschedule
Platform outageRetry

"Verify manually"

A slot asking you to verify manually has NOT been retried

Publishing is not idempotent: a platform has no way to tell us "you already posted this". So each slot journals its progress immediately before the irreversible go-live call.

If a retry finds a slot where the call was attempted, there was no clean failure, and no post id came back, it stops. It will not publish again.

Check the platform yourself. If the post is there, skip the slot and mark the draft posted. If it is not, retry.

Posting twice is worse than posting late, which is why it errs this way.

Nothing is publishing

Check in order:

  1. The scheduler dot, bottom of the sidebar. Red means nothing will publish at all.
  2. The slot time, in your posting timezone rather than yours-in-your-head.
  3. The connection status. An account in needs_reauth cannot publish.
  4. The platform. Threads and Facebook are dry-run gated pending Meta review, so their slots log instead of posting. See Platform support.
