Departure
What happens to a Instagram post
-
In the composer
A Instagram preview while you type
Write once, tick your Instagram account alongside anything else you post to, and the card beside the draft shows the post the way Instagram will. Anything Instagram would refuse is said before you schedule, not the next morning.
-
On the board
Departures, not a spreadsheet of rows
Scheduled posts line up by time. You see what leaves next, what already departed, and what needs a look, without opening anything.
-
After it leaves
A Instagram result of its own
Every channel reports separately. A Instagram rejection does not stop the other networks, and the network's own error text is shown on the board in plain language.
-
At rest
Credentials encrypted with AES-256-GCM
Your Instagram credentials are encrypted before they reach the database, are never logged in plaintext, and are decrypted only at the moment of publishing.
Per-channel results
You can see what each network did
One post, one row per channel. Departed channels carry a link to the live post; a failed channel carries the network's own error text, so you know whether to fix the wording, the media, or the connection.
Send the same draft to
Tick these next to Instagram in the composer and they all leave at the same time.

Yes. One composer publishes to any mix of your connected channels, and each network's limits are checked per selected channel. Every channel departs at the same scheduled time.
What happens if a Instagram post fails?
