Could a post publish twice?
No. A post can only move from claimed to publishing once. A duplicate queue delivery for a target already past that point is a no-op, not a second attempt.

1. The queue can redeliver a message
Cloudflare Queues (what carries a scheduled post to the moment it publishes) guarantees at-least-once delivery. The same message can legitimately arrive a second time. That is by design, not a bug.
2. A post moves from claimed to publishing exactly once
That transition is a single conditional database update: it only succeeds if the post is still sitting at claimed. A redelivered message for a post already past that point changes nothing and is treated as already handled, not retried.
3. No second attempt, no second post
The publisher, the code that calls the platform's API, is never invoked twice for the same post target. A duplicate delivery is a no-op at the database level, before anything gets anywhere near YouTube.

How to connect PostEase to Zapier or Make
Every publish can POST a signed payload to a Zapier Catch Hook or a Make custom webhook, carrying the caption, the account and a link to the live post. No app listing needed, and you can send a test event to map the fields.
Connecting PostEase to the rest of your stack
The outbound webhook, Zapier and Make, importing a calendar from another scheduler, and the browser extension are one integration surface, not four separate things to discover on your own.
Adding alt text to the images you schedule
One field in the composer, sent to X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Bluesky with the image. What it is for, what the 500-character cap comes from, and why video is left out.
How to set your workspace timezone
Every time you see or type in PostEase is in one zone chosen for the workspace, not your browser’s. Posts already scheduled keep their exact time when you change it.
One post, published once — even when the infrastructure underneath isn't.
Every channel you have, included. Adding another does not change the price.
