lucette is in private beta. These limits are the current defaults and may change as the product evolves.

Solutions:

  1. Check the Failed tab for error messages
  2. Click retry on failed posts
  3. Check your connected account is still connected
  4. Verify the post content is valid (not too long, etc.)

Note: lucette automatically retries failed posts, but you can also retry manually.

Wrong timezone

  2. Verify your timezone is correct

  2. Verify length: Each post must be within your platform's character limit
  3. Check file: Make sure it's a valid CSV file
