Auto-posting and the calendar

When an auto-post goes out

When you join or accept a gig with "Parmo does", each story in the brief is booked on its date. It publishes at the hour the organizer set, or at 18:00 UTC if none was set. You get a notification when it is scheduled and when it posted.

What you can do before it posts

• Post now publishes immediately instead of waiting.
• Change time moves it to another hour on the same day.
• Cancel auto-post takes it off the schedule. The story is still owed; post it yourself from its night in My nights.
• Schedule again puts a cancelled auto-post back.

Reading the calendar

Open the calendar with "Month view" on My nights. It opens on "Next up": the next story Parmo posts for you, with its time and the buttons below. Under it, every event and post is a line with its time and a coloured dot: lime for the event and what Parmo posts for you, amber for what is yours to post, blue once it is posted, red when an auto-post was cancelled or failed. On the web the month sits beside the list; click a day to jump to it. On the phone you flip through weeks and tap a day to jump to it.

Statuses

Why an auto-post is cancelled on its own

• You posted it manually first.
• Instagram is not connected, or the connection expired.
• Your Instagram account hit its daily publishing limit.
• The event or the gig was closed.
