See what posted, what is queued and what failed
Ask your assistant what is scheduled, what posted and whether anything failed. It reads your calendar and history from Socialync, shows one table, and gives the plain reason and the fix for any failure. It changes nothing.
Works on the free plan. Connect an assistant first if you have not: setup guides.
The prompt
What is scheduled this week, what posted in the last few days, and did anything fail? Show it as a table with the local time, platforms, status and first line of each post. For any failure, tell me why and what to do.
Swap in your own details. Example links and names are placeholders.
What the assistant does
Each step names the Socialync tool the assistant calls. A step with no tool is the assistant's own work or yours.
- 1
Pick the brand
Your assistant picks the brand, or asks if you have several.
list_profiles - 2
Read the calendar
It reads your pending posts, failures from the last 14 days and posts published in the last 2 days. A failed post carries a plain message, a stable error code and a next action: reconnect, edit the post, or retry later.
get_scheduled_posts - 3
Read older history
It reads your recent post history with the result for each platform, which reaches back past the last 2 days. A failed platform comes with the reason it failed.
get_post_history - 4
Check a draft or your allowance
If you started a draft, it can check whether the draft is pending, approved, rejected or expired. If your question is about how many posts you have left, it reads your allowance.
get_draft_statuscheck_quota - 5
Summarize
You get one table, with failures called out in plain words and the fix next to each. Nothing is changed.
What you will be asked to confirm
- Nothing. This recipe only reads. To act on what it finds, use the queue clean-up recipe.
Socialync tells your assistant to show you the exact post and wait for your yes in the chat before it publishes, schedules, replies or cancels anything. The publishing tools are marked as destructive, so clients that honor that also ask you to allow each call. You can switch on a confirmation dialog on the API Keys page that shows the exact post inside clients that support it. Socialync records who approved each post and when.

Illustrative example with made-up posts and numbers. It does not come from a real account, and yours will use your own content.

No failed posts in the last 14 days.
Limits that shape this recipe
- Published posts older than 2 days are in post history and left out of the calendar list.
- A post marked held did not publish because the account had no active plan when it came due. It does not publish late on its own, and the fix is to schedule it again.
- Before any retry, the assistant checks post history so it reports what actually happened. Socialync blocks duplicate publishes.
- A failure with the action reconnect needs you to reconnect the account in Socialync Settings. The assistant cannot do that from the chat.
