Failures, retries and unknown outcomes

A destination that failed is known not to have published, so retry sends it again as a new post. A destination in unknown may already be live, so 1Post never retries it on its own. Check the account, then attach the live post with link-live, or duplicate the post and send it again.

States of a destination

StateWhat it meansWhat to do
ScheduledWaiting for its time.Nothing. You can still change or cancel it.
PublishedLive on the network.Results are collected from here on.
FailedRefused or not sent, and known not to be live.Fix the cause, then retry.
UnknownThe network did not say whether it published.Look at the account, then link-live or duplicate.

Reconnecting

When a network stops accepting an account, the account shows as needing a reconnect and posts for it wait. Reconnect the account and its scheduled posts are kept. A webhook, account.reconnect_needed, tells your code the moment this happens.

Questions

Why is unknown never retried?

Because the post may already be live. Retrying could publish it twice, so 1Post asks you to check first.
