Complete the main setup
Review On/Off, Weekly/Monthly, publish time/time zone, Next draft and Publish target, Save automation, approve-before-schedule, Publish now confirmation, scheduled status, cancel/reschedule if available, processing/published/failed labels, connection/media/API error recovery, retry without duplicate post, and audit/history.
-
Verify the result
Set recurring draft generation, choose when each approved post publishes, and recover safely from schedule or API failures.
Expected result: Set recurring draft generation, choose when each approved post publishes, and recover safely from schedule or API failures.
Troubleshooting
The page, control, or action is unavailable.
Confirm the required access and starting state: Connected/enabled Instagram; saved automation settings for recurring generation; approved post for schedule/publish; valid future time/time zone.
The result is incomplete or unexpected.
Weekly/monthly draft generation, local publish target, time zone, next draft versus next publish, explicit approval, publish-now confirmation, scheduled jobs, connection validity, media constraints, retry, and history are separate. Automation prepares drafts; it does not remove the review decision.
The issue remains after checking the record.
Capture the exact visible error, record status, approximate time, and intended result. Give support only the minimum customer-safe evidence needed to trace the problem.
What happens next
