FAQ
No posts are being sent.
Check in order:
- Is Enable Social on and the specific account enabled?
- Does the account have a channel set, and can the bot post there?
- Is the token (X) or account id + token (Instagram) correct? Use Test connection.
- The first check posts nothing (it only memorises) — wait for the next new post.
- Has the check interval elapsed?
Instagram doesn't work.
The Graph API requires a business/creator account and a valid access token. Regular private
accounts are not supported.
The role ping doesn't notify.
Make sure Mention above embed is on and the role is pingable.
Third-party APIs are rate limited. An interval that is too short can cause errors or throttled
requests. The default is 5 minutes.
You can review the per-account status any time with
/social status.
