Departure
What happens to a Tumblr post
-
In the composer
A Tumblr preview while you type
Write once, tick your Tumblr account alongside anything else you post to, and the card beside the draft shows the post the way Tumblr will. Anything Tumblr 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 Tumblr result of its own
Every channel reports separately. A Tumblr 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 Tumblr 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 Tumblr in the composer and they all leave at the same time.
Tumblr scheduling questions
What can I publish to Tumblr with Postauto?
Text posts, Photo posts, Tags. Up to 10 images per photoset; video is not published.
Can one draft go to Tumblr and other networks at once?
Yes. Write it once, tick Tumblr beside the other accounts, and each network shows its own preview before anything leaves. A channel can carry its own wording without touching the rest.
What do I need to connect Tumblr?
Any Tumblr account via OAuth; no developer account and nothing to register yourself.
Where do I connect my Tumblr account?
Open Channels in your workspace to see connection options. Any Tumblr account via OAuth; no developer account and nothing to register yourself.
Anything specific to Tumblr I should know?
Tumblr itself accepts video, and Postauto declares that it does not rather than accepting a video and losing it at publish time. Tags are first-class on Tumblr and publish with the post.
Can I post to Tumblr and other networks 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 Tumblr post fails?
Each channel reports its own result. If Tumblr rejects a post, your other selected networks still publish, the post is marked partial, and the board shows a readable error for the failed channel.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. You choose a plan and give a card at checkout, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and cancelling before then costs nothing.
