Understand Failed Post Errors in Social Planner

When a post fails, Social Planner shows the reason supplied by the social network. This reference groups the usual messages by network and tells you what to do.

Facebook

  • Token expired or session invalid: Reconnect the account in Social Planner > Settings.
  • Temporary or unexpected error: Refresh your browser and retry in a few minutes.
  • No permission to post: Reconnect using a profile that is an admin or editor of the Page.
  • App missing from the Page or Group: Add the Vendi Today connection to the Page or Group, then retry.
  • Community standards violation: Edit the text or link.
  • Duplicate content: Identical text cannot be posted twice within 12 hours.
  • Invalid link: Check that the URL opens.
  • Checkpoint, password, or unconfirmed user: Log in to Facebook directly and clear the security prompt.
  • Temporary block: Facebook has paused posting for a while; wait it out.

Instagram

  • File upload timeout: Attach a smaller file.
  • Daily publishing limit reached: Instagram caps posts per day; try again tomorrow.
  • Token expired or revoked: Reconnect the Instagram account.
  • Account restricted: Make sure it is a Business or Creator account.

LinkedIn

  • Token expired, or permission problem: Reconnect the profile or Page.
  • Duplicate content: Wait 12 hours or change the text.

  • Missing or invalid value: Complete your business profile, then reconnect.
  • Character limit exceeded: Shorten the post.
