Auto-publishing that tells you before something goes wrong
Scheduled posts go live on time through each network's official API. If a network hiccups we retry, and if an account needs attention you hear about it before the post is due, not after.

- Reconnect warnings before posts are due
Published, not reminded
Some tools still send a push notification at post time and expect you to finish in the app. Sociolark publishes directly through each network's official API: the Pages and Instagram APIs for Meta, the YouTube Data API, TikTok's Content Posting API and the equivalent APIs for the other networks. At 9:00 the post is live, whether or not you are awake.
A publishing worker checks for due posts every minute. Video uploads that networks process asynchronously are tracked until the network confirms them, and the post's status in the planner changes from publishing to published with a link to the live post.
Built for the bad days
Networks have outages, rate limits and expired tokens. Temporary errors are retried with increasing delays. Errors that need a human, such as a revoked permission or a rejected file, stop immediately and mark the post as failed with an explanation, so you are not left guessing.
Because the most common cause of a missed post is an expired connection, Sociolark checks the accounts behind upcoming posts and warns you ahead of time when one needs reconnecting.
- Retries with backoff for transient network errors
- Clear failure reasons in the planner
- Email alerts when a scheduled post fails
- Account health on the Connections page
Questions
Do I need to keep my browser open?
No. Publishing runs on our servers. You can schedule a month of posts and close your laptop.
Can a post be cancelled once it starts publishing?
Posts can be edited or unscheduled right up until they start publishing. Once a network has accepted the upload, cancelling could leave a half-published post, so Sociolark blocks it and shows the post as publishing.
Will posts published by Sociolark get less reach?
Posts published through official APIs are regular posts. The networks have said they do not penalize content based on the publishing tool.
