The problem
A token expires quietly, a platform refuses a post at 9:00, and you learn about it from a reader at noon.
How it runs
- 1Create an alert: a Telegram, Slack or Discord bot, an ntfy topic or an SMTP account.
- 2By default it tells about post.published, post.failed and channel.needs_reconnect.
- 3Add schedule.posts_requested to hear when a collection runs dry, or post.scheduled for every new entry on the calendar.
- 4Each message links to the post in the dashboard; batch them with a digest window when a schedule publishes a lot.
Result
You find out before your readers do, and fix it from your phone.
