What happens if I don't approve a post in time?
Scala reminds you a day and two hours before a draft's time. If you still haven't answered, it follows your rule in Settings: by default, it moves the post to your next free posting day, once.
Reminders
A day before, and again two hours before a draft's time, Scala emails you that posts need your OK. The email says what will happen if you don't answer. These reminders come with Posts to approve in Account, under Email me about.
Your rule
Open Settings and find Posting. Under "Scala reminds you a day and two hours before. Then:", choose one:
- Move it: to your next posting day that has no post, once. If it's missed again, it's skipped. This is the default.
- Post it: it goes out at its time, as planned. If something blocks it, such as a problem marked on the post or photos you haven't confirmed, it's moved instead.
- Skip it: it doesn't go out. You can still post it later.
The rule applies when approving closes, 5 minutes before the post's time. Scala emails you to say what happened.
This choice only shows while Auto-publish is off. With auto-publish on, posts are approved for you when the week is ready.
A post whose time has passed
A draft whose time has passed shows Time passed on Posts. Open it, choose a new day and time under When it goes out, tap Save time, then approve it. Or tap Skip.
An approved post that couldn't go out
If an approved post couldn't go out at its time, for example because Instagram and Facebook were disconnected, Scala was paused or your plan had ended, and more than six hours have passed, it goes back to drafts. Scala emails you about it if Alerts is on in Account. Choose a new time and approve it again.
