Your calendar and failed posts

Upcoming, Published and Needs attention explained, plus how to retry, delete or post by hand.

Click Calendar in the left-hand menu to see all your posts, shown in your local time.

The three tabs

  • Upcoming: posts scheduled for the future.
  • Published: posts that went out. Click View to open the live post on the network.
  • Needs attention: posts that couldn't be published, with the reason.

When a post fails

PilotPost retries automatically up to three times, in case a network is briefly down. If it still fails, the post moves to Needs attention with the network's reason. Common reasons:

  • The account needs reconnecting: go to Accounts and click Reconnect.
  • The network rejected the content: for example a photo too large, or a video in the wrong format. Fix it and create the post again.

When you've fixed the problem, click Retry now and PilotPost tries again straight away.

Deleting a post

Click Delete on any upcoming post to cancel it. To change a scheduled post, delete it and create a new version. Deleting a post that's already published only removes it from PilotPost, not from the network.

Posts to do by hand

A few networks can't publish automatically in some situations. Those posts are marked Post manually with a reminder at the scheduled time. Post it yourself in the app, then click Mark as posted.

Still stuck? Email support@pilotpost.social and tell us what you were trying to do. A screenshot helps.
