How to disable an existing queue?

In SocialBu, queues are a powerful way to automate and recycle your content. However, when a post fails to publish—whether due to a missing attachment, disconnected account, or another error—it can be helpful to stop the entire queue temporarily. SocialBu allows you to automatically disable a queue in such scenarios to prevent repeated failures.

What Happens When a Post Fails?

When a post scheduled in a queue fails to publish—such as missing media for Instagram, an expired token, or platform-specific limitations—it may disrupt your planned content flow. To help manage this, SocialBu offers a feature to automatically disable the entire queue, giving you time to resolve the issue before any additional posts are attempted.

How to Enable “Disable Queue on Post Failure”

To enable this feature, begin by logging in to your SocialBu account. From your dashboard, navigate to the Queues section and select the queue you want to update. Open the Settings for that queue.

Inside the settings panel, look for the option labeled “Disable queue on post failure.” Simply check this box to activate the feature. Once selected, click Save to confirm your changes.

After this setting is enabled, your queue will automatically be paused if a post fails to publish. This prevents further disruptions and gives you the opportunity to troubleshoot and reactivate the queue when you're ready.

Result

By enabling this setting, you gain better control over your posting schedule. Instead of allowing continuous failures, SocialBu will stop the queue until you review and resolve the issue. This helps ensure that your audience only sees successfully published, error-free content.

FAQs

• What types of failures trigger the queue to stop?

Any error that prevents a post from publishing, such as missing media, disconnected accounts, or API issues with the platform, can trigger the queue to stop.

• Can I restart the queue after fixing the issue?

A: Yes, once you've resolved the issue, you can manually resume the queue from your dashboard.

• Will this setting affect other queues?

No, this setting applies individually to each queue. You must enable it for each queue separately if needed.
