Post History and Status

After publishing or scheduling posts, you can track their progress and outcomes from the Posts section. Soku provides detailed status information for every post across every platform.

The Posts Section

The Posts section is organized into three tabs:

1. Published Tab

The Published tab shows all posts that have been successfully dispatched to your connected platforms.
  • View all published posts with their captions, platforms, and timestamps.
  • A performance graph is displayed showing engagement metrics for your published posts.
  • Each published post displays a status string reported by the platform, reflecting its current state.
The published post status is a freeform string provided by each platform. The exact wording may vary depending on the platform.

2. Scheduled Tab

The Scheduled tab shows posts that are waiting to be published at a future date and time.
  • View all upcoming scheduled posts with their captions, platforms, and scheduled times.
  • Post Now button — Publish a scheduled post immediately without waiting for its scheduled time.
  • Cancel button — Cancel a scheduled post to prevent it from being published.
Cancelling a scheduled post cannot be undone. If you cancel a post, you will need to create a new one to publish that content.

3. Calendar Tab

The Calendar tab provides a monthly calendar view of your scheduled content.
  • See all scheduled posts mapped to their dates on a traditional monthly grid.
  • Click on any day to view the posts scheduled for that date.
  • Navigate between months using forward and back arrows.
  • Use this view to spot gaps, avoid overlap, and plan your content strategy.

Post Submission Statuses

Every post moves through a series of statuses as it is processed. These statuses apply to the post submission as a whole.
StatusMeaning
QueuedThe post has been submitted and is waiting to be processed.
ScheduledThe post is saved and will be published at the specified date and time.
OrchestratingThe post is being prepared and sent to the selected platforms.
DispatchedThe post has been successfully sent to all selected platforms.
CancelledThe post was cancelled before it could be published.

Published Post Status

Once a post has been dispatched and is live on a platform, its status is a freeform string reported by the platform. This status reflects the current state of the post as the platform sees it, and the exact text may vary by platform.

Post Groups

When you publish a post to multiple platforms at once, all of the individual platform posts are grouped together under a single post submission. Each group shares a post submission ID. On the Posts page, posts are displayed as groups. You can expand a group to see the per-platform breakdown. Example: You publish a video to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. This creates one post group containing three individual platform posts, all sharing the same post submission ID.

Post Lifecycle

Here is the typical lifecycle of a post from creation to publication:
  1. Create — You compose your post on the Create Post page and click Publish or Schedule.
  2. Queued — The post enters the queue for processing.
  3. Scheduled (if scheduled) — The post waits until its scheduled time arrives.
  4. Orchestrating — Soku prepares and sends the post to each selected platform.
  5. Dispatched — The post has been successfully sent to all platforms.
  6. Published — The post appears in the Published tab with its platform-reported status.
If you cancel a post before it reaches the Orchestrating stage, it moves to Cancelled status and is not published.

Tips

  • Check the Published tab regularly to review the performance graph and confirm posts went live successfully.
  • Use the Calendar tab to get a bird’s-eye view of your content schedule and identify gaps in your posting cadence.
  • Use Post Now on the Scheduled tab if you decide to publish a scheduled post ahead of its planned time.
  • Expand post groups to see the individual status for each platform when you publish to multiple networks at once.
