Stay Ahead of Disconnected Accounts

We've overhauled how posterly notifies you when a social account needs attention. Instead of finding out after a failed post, you'll now be warned early and often.

What's New

Proactive Email Alerts

• Receive an email when your account token is expiring soon, days before it becomes a problem
• Emails are color-coded by urgency: amber for expiring soon, red for expired
• Consolidated emails so you get one message per account, not a flood

In-App Connection Banner

• A new banner appears at the top of the dashboard when any account needs attention
• Red for expired or disconnected accounts, amber for accounts expiring soon
• One-click reconnect button takes you straight to settings

Composer Warnings

• When selecting accounts in the post composer, accounts with token issues now show a warning icon
• Red icon for expired accounts, amber for expiring soon
• Hover for details on what's wrong and how to fix it

Smarter Failure Emails

• When a post fails due to a token issue, you now receive a clear "Account Disconnected" email instead of a generic error code
• The email explains why it happened and how to reconnect
• Includes context about automatic token refresh

About Token Refresh

When you post regularly through posterly, your account tokens refresh automatically. Disconnections typically happen when an account has been idle for an extended period or when you change your password on the social platform. The best way to avoid disconnections is to keep a consistent posting schedule.
