What happens when a post fails to publish
It retries automatically, up to five times, before it is ever marked failed for good. Even then, it sorts above everything else in its day so you see it.

1. It retries, up to 5 times
A platform rejecting a publish attempt isn't the end of it. The post is swept back to try again, up to five attempts total, before it's counted as failed for good.
2. Past that, it sorts above everything else that day
Once retries are exhausted, the post is marked failed and sorts above every other post in its day on the calendar, regardless of what time it was scheduled for.

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.
A failure that stays hidden is worse than one you can act on.
Every channel you have, included. Adding another does not change the price.
