Failed Post Help
Scroll down or use Command/Control + f to find your failed post error message, and how to fix the problem
NOTE FOR REPEATING POSTS: If you have a repeating post and it fails to publish, then you will need to address the failure reason, then reschedule the post. Once the failed post is rescheduled and publishes, the future instances of the repeating post will occur. If you do not reschedule the failed post, the future instances of the repeating post will NOT occur.
Google Business Profile posts
Some error occured.
This was a temporary issue. However, your post still published successfully to Google and no action is needed (unless it was a repeating post).
NOTE: If your post was a repeating post, you will need to reschedule the failed post for the repeat instances to occur.
Requested entity was not found.
This means that the GMB location was not found.
In many cases, the person who originally connected these Google Business Profile locations to OneUp may have been removed from the Google Business Profile.
If that is the case, you will need to go to the Accounts page of OneUp and connect the Google Business Profile locations again, and then remove the old duplicate Google Business Profile locations.
Other times, it is a duplicate listing that is not verified. Try connecting the other GBP location with the same exact name (or check if it's already connected), and then try your post to that GMB location instead.
Request contains an invalid argument
This error is either because:
1) You have more than the maximum 1500 characters allowed in a Google My Business post.
2) Your image is too portrait-oriented (tall and skinny), such as this image. Try to keep images as close to a 4:3 aspect ratio as possible (for example, 800x600 pixels)
3) You are using a GIF. GIFs are not allowed on GMB.
4) You will also get this error if you put anything other than a link in the Call-To-Action button section (I.e. putting non-link text in the CTA button link section)
5) You have used a Webp image, which GMB does not support. Try again with a PNG or JPG instead.
You can convert Webp images to PNG or JPG with this free tool: https://cloudconvert.com/webp-to-jpg
Creating/Updating a local post is not authorized for this location.
Make sure that your Google My Business location has been verified. We have seen some cases where businesses have duplicate listings of the same location, and accidentally connect the wrong one to OneUp. If you have duplicate listings, make sure the correct one is connected.
Some industries such as Tobacco and Hotels are not allowed by Google My Business to publish posts.
Request is missing required authentication credential. Expected OAuth 2 access token, login cookie or other valid authentication credential. See https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/web/devconsole-project
This error means your Google My Business account needs to be reconnected. On the Accounts page of OneUp, click the "Refresh Connection" button next to the GMB account (must be on a computer, not a phone). This will not affect any of your posts.
If you had previously connected your Google My Business account(s) to another OneUp account, that could also be the reason for getting this error. Reach out to support if you need to have the Google My Business account(s) removed from a previously created OneUp account.
Internal error encountered.
This is a temporary error from GMB's end. Try rescheduling your post after some time.
In some cases, your post might have actually published as well. We recommend checking the Published folder in your OneUp.
refresh token must be passed in or set as part of setAccessToken
If you get this error, try removing this location from OneUp, then connecting it again.

The request post info is empty or incorrect.
This can happen if you are on the Free Plan and the "Posted by OneUp" takes your post's caption over 150 characters (which is TikTok API's limit).
We will be adding a fix for this, but in the meantime, try your post again with 132 or fewer characters, and it should publish fine.
Twitter/X posts
You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints (e.g. media post, oauth) only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/product

One or more parameters to your request was invalid.
This usually means that your post was over Twitter's 280 character limit.
Tweet needs to be a bit shorter
Make sure you are under Twitter's 280 character limit.
Not valid video
This means your video is longer than Twitter's video length limit of 2:20, or it was an invalid video format.
User is over daily status update limit
This happens when you post too often, and Twitter stops your posts. It's a way that Twitter controls spam.
Invalid or expired token
This either means either:
Your image was too large. Images posted through Twitter's API cannot be larger than 5 MB.
You need to refresh the connection of your Twitter account on the Accounts page of OneUp. This will not affect any scheduled posts.
If you had previously connected your Twitter account(s) to another OneUp account, that could also be the reason for getting this error. Reach out to support if you need to have the Twitter account(s) removed from a previously created OneUp account.
Unsupported video format
This error message means your video did not meet Twitter's video requirements:
Minimum resolution: 32 x 32

Pinterest posts
Invalid request body
This means that there is something in your Pinterest post's caption that is causing it to get blocked by Pinterest. Try changing your caption.

Instagram posts
### Some error occurred. Please retry.
DEC 11, 2024 UPDATE: Both Instagram and Facebook's websites are completely down, causing posts to fail. We are awaiting a fix from the Meta team. Try rescheduling the failed post in a bit once you can access Instagram and Facebook's websites again.
(#2) Service temporarily unavailable
SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 UPDATE: Instagram's API is experiencing issues with carousel posts right now: https://developers.facebook.com/community/threads/964967135387300/
We are monitoring the situation and awaiting the Meta team to announce a fix.
The media could not be fetched from this uri: https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/xyzxyzxyz

Update from Meta: https://metastatus.com/graph-api
### The following user(s) cannot be accessed: _

Invalid appsecret_proof provided in the API argument
This means the Instagram account needs to be removed, and then reconnected. After doing so, Instagram posts will publish correctly.
The video file you selected is in a format that we don't support.
Fatal
This is normally a temporary issue from Instagram's API. You can reschedule your failed post and it should publish.
Other issues could be if your video's aspect ratio is not within Instagram's requirements:
Minimum aspect ratio [cols / rows]: 4 / 5
Maximum aspect ratio [cols / rows]: 16 / 9
If you need to resize your video, you can do so with tools such as Clideo
If you are getting a "Fatal" error message and your video meets all the guidelines above, it can also mean that Instagram's anti-spam mechanism is stimulated. Instagram has not provided information on exactly what causes it and how you can prevent it (there are no further details given along with the error message). Instagram purposely does not share the specifics to stop people from trying to bypass or play around with their framework. Our suggestion is to modify the post – change the copy/text, change the picture (if attached), etc., and try to publish again.
(#10) The user is not an Instagram Business
This publishing error can happen when try to post an Instagram Story to a Creator Account. Publishing Stories on a Creator Account is ONLY supported via Instagram's API if you choose this connection option:
Alternatively you can switch your Instagram account to a Business Account and then your Stories will post directly.
User is performing too many actions
Application request limit reached
These usually mean you are posting too often on Instagram. Instagram limits accounts to no more than 25 post via direct publishing in a 24-hour period.
If you are posting less then that, this error can also occur when you have a link in your Instagram post that Instagram/Facebook have blocked.
If you are using a URL that redirects to another URL, this can be the cause of it. Instead, just use the final destination URL in your post.
The use cannot be tagged on this media
This error comes from Instagram's end, and normally means the account you are trying to tag as a Collaborator is either private, age-restricted, or the account is less than 30 days old.
Due to API limitation from Instagram, private or age restricted accounts are not eligible as collaborators.
(#10) Application does not have permission for this action
This usually means you did not grant OneUp the proper permissions for publishing first comments on your Instagram posts.
You can go to the Accounts page of OneUp and click the "Refresh Connection" text next to your Instagram account. After, click "Edit Settings" and make sure all permissions are granted to OneUp.
After, your posts should successfully publish with the first comment.
You may also get this error if the personal Facebook profile used to connect your Instagram account is not an Admin of the Facebook Page that your Instagram account is linked to. Please make sure you are an Admin of the Facebook Page your Instagram account is linked to, and then try connecting again.
This API call does not support the requested response format
This usually means that your First Comment on your Instagram post is being seen as spam by the Instagram's automated systems.
To avoid this error, make sure you do not give repetitive First Comments:
- Avoid replying in the same manner to multiple comments, Instagram will red flag it as spam
- be creative with your comments: add more words, rephrase, say it differently each time
- Avoid using short replies or using emoticons or smileys as your only response
In some cases, this error can also mean that you have more than 30 hashtags in your Instagram first comment.
Unsupported post request. Object with ID 'XXXXXXXXXX' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api
This means that your Instagram account is no longer connected to a Facebook Page.
To fix, access your Facebook account, navigate to your Facebook Page and click 'Settings' from the left-hand menu on your screen.
Select 'Instagram', then add an Instagram account by clicking 'Connect Account'.
User access is restricted
The error is triggered by a security checkpoint from Instagram's end.
To fix, log in to Instagram FROM A COMPUTER and complete the verification.
After verifying, you can reschedule your failed post.
IMPORTANT NOTE - the error cannot be resolved by logging into the mobile app on a phone or other device!

If you get an Invalid parameter error message on an Instagram post, it usually means you have to reestablish your authorizations for your Instagram account connection by following these steps.
It could also be if you have more than 30 hashtags in your Instagram post.
An unexpected error has occurred. Please retry your request later.
DEC 11, 2024 UPDATE: Both Instagram and Facebook's websites are completely down, causing posts to fail. We are awaiting a fix from the Meta team. Try rescheduling the failed post in a bit once you can access Instagram and Facebook's websites again.

If the post did not actually get published, you can try rescheduling your post. If it still doesn't work, wait a few hours and try again.
Your message couldn't be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive.

All
The same post cannot be repeated more than 100 times.
If you repeat the same post more than 100 times, it will end up in the failed post section. This is to prevent your accounts from being flagged as spamming by the social networks.
You have exceeded the maximum number of daily published posts for this account. Please slow down.
Social networks will sometimes block accounts due to the frequency of posting, or the duplication of content, and we want to avoid that as much as possible. We've built great relationships with the social networks that we integrate with, and in order to keep OneUp and our users in good standing, we err on the side of caution when it comes to posting limits. We want to promote an environment of authentic sharing, and avoid spamming as much as we can.
Here are the posting limits for each individual social account:
Social account | Posts per 24 hours |
---|---|
50 | |
25 | |
25 | |
50 | |
25 | |
TikTok | 25 |
YouTube | 10 |
Please note, these limits are per 24 hour period, rather than per calendar day.
