Automated SocialFlow Post Failure Alerts
Every hour, WebRun opens SocialFlow, checks the real-time publishing queue for any post that failed to go out at its algorithmically optimized moment, creates a Trello card so an editor can review and repost it, and messages the team on WhatsApp when a breaking-news post is affected.
How do I catch a SocialFlow post that missed its optimal publishing window?
WebRun checks SocialFlow's real-time publishing queue every hour for any post that missed its algorithmically optimized moment, creates a Trello card so an editor can review it, and messages the team on WhatsApp when breaking news is affected. It never reposts a story itself, leaving that editorial call to a person.
- A missed publishing window gets caught within the hour
- Breaking news delays reach the team immediately on WhatsApp
- Editors work from one Trello queue instead of the raw log

Questions, answered
Does WebRun repost the missed story automatically?
No. It only flags the miss and hands it to an editor on a Trello card. Deciding whether and how to repost is still a human editorial call.
Why would a post miss its optimized moment?
Usually a connection issue or a delay in SocialFlow's timing engine. The Trello card includes the reason given, so an editor knows what happened.
Does every missed post trigger a WhatsApp message?
No. Only ones flagged as breaking news get the WhatsApp alert. Everything else is tracked on the Trello board for the next editorial check.
