Catch scheduled posts that never published

Every hour, WebRun opens Tailwind, compares each scheduled post against its publish status, finds the ones that failed or never went out, logs them in Airtable with the connected account and the error, and alerts you on Telegram while there is still time to fill the gap.

In short

How do I find out when a scheduled social post fails to publish?

WebRun checks your Tailwind queue every hour, comparing each scheduled post against its publish status to find the ones that never went out. It logs every failure in Airtable with the account and the error, then alerts you on Telegram so the gap in the schedule is fixed the same day.

  • A missed post is caught within the hour, not at the end of the week
  • Repeated failures on one connected account are counted and named
  • Nothing is republished automatically, so approvals stay with you

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens tailwindapp.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Tailwind - find posts that failed to publish
    tailwindapp.com
    WebRun in Tailwind: find posts that failed to publish
    WebRun opens Tailwind to find posts that failed to publish.
    • Open Tailwind and read the queue for posts whose scheduled time has already passed
    • Check the publish status of each one and keep those marked failed, errored, or still pending
    • Capture the connected account, the board or destination, the scheduled time, and the error shown
    • Check whether the connected account itself needs reauthorizing, since that fails a whole batch at once

    Done when Every post past its scheduled time is confirmed as published or recorded as failed.

  3. 2
    Airtable - log the failure and its cause
    airtable.com How to Automate Airtable
    WebRun in Airtable: log the failure and its cause
    WebRun opens Airtable to log the failure and its cause.
    • Add a row per failed post with the scheduled time, the destination, and the error
    • Mark rows resolved once a later run sees the post published
    • Keep a running count per connected account so a repeatedly failing account stands out

    Done when Airtable holds every failure with its cause and its resolution state.

  4. 3
    Telegram - alert you the same day
    telegram.org How to Automate Telegram
    WebRun in Telegram: alert you the same day
    WebRun opens Telegram to alert you the same day.
    • Alert the social manager as soon as a post is confirmed failed, naming the destination and the scheduled time
    • Say whether the cause looks like a broken connection or a single post problem
    • Include the post details needed to requeue it. WebRun never republishes or reschedules the post itself

    Done when The social manager knows within the hour which post did not go out.

Questions, answered

Will it republish the post for me?

No. WebRun reports the failure and gives you the details needed to requeue it. Publishing to a public account stays a decision a person makes, so nothing goes out unreviewed.

How fast will I hear about a failure?

Within the hour. The check runs hourly, so a post that misses its slot in the morning is on Telegram the same morning rather than at the weekly review.

What if the whole account is disconnected?

WebRun says so in the alert. It checks whether the connected account needs reauthorizing, because that single cause usually explains a run of failed posts at once.
