Delivery receipts

Don't take our word. Take the receipt.

After publishing, we read each post back from the platform and record what we found beside what you asked for. Every observation is dated. When a platform can't be read back, the receipt says so.

Four ways a post can come back.

A receipt never disappears and never pretends. Each outcome keeps its evidence, and tells you the one thing to do next.

The "may have published" case

A video upload times out. Now what?

One well-known scheduler's own help page says a timed-out YouTube upload "may have published" and asks you to go and check your channel (Buffer, YouTube error library, read 2026-10-29).

Here, that post is marked Unconfirmed. We check the platform again on a schedule. We do not re-send it, because a retry could post it twice. You can run a probe yourself, or decide to force a retry knowing a duplicate is possible.

A record of what we saw, and when.

The record doesn't stop at delivery. Later checks add new dated observations; they never overwrite the earlier ones.

The return line: the post goes out, the observation comes back, the stamp lands only on a verified receipt. Sample
  1. Scheduled → dispatched
    Handed to YouTube's upload API.
  2. Read back: verified live
    Title, visibility and media matched. The stamp lands here, once.
  3. Rechecked: still live
    Same title, same visibility.
  4. Post no longer available
    Recorded as a new observation. The earlier ones stay.
