Fix and retry a failed social publishing target

Repair the cause of one failed target without duplicating successful posts.

Updated 30 August 2026

Repair the cause of one failed target without duplicating successful posts.

Step by step

Open the content piece, select Publish, and choose the account marked failed.
Use the target message to identify authentication, permission, media, metadata, platform, or temporary service failure.
Reconnect the account, edit the failed target’s allowed fields, replace invalid media, or adjust platform-specific metadata.
Use the retry action for the failed account. Do not submit already published targets again.
Wait for a published or new failed state and open the live result where available.
The repaired target publishes without duplicating the successful targets.

If something goes wrong

  • If the platform rejects the same valid payload repeatedly, record the target, error, and time for support.
