Troubleshooting and FAQ

First checks: Buffer key + Social media toggles → matrix row on → DNA saved.

Nothing publishes / “manual”

  • Valid key on this business.
  • Configure → business → Social media: right profiles on.
  • Matrix: row on for that platform.
  • Buffer queue/history for network errors.

Wrong account received the post

Fix Social media mapping (off wrong / on right); matrix if needed. Channels

After a new Buffer key, things broke

Expected once—mappings clear. Full pass: Change Buffer key.

“Channel already connected to another business”

One profile → one business. Unassign elsewhere first. Channels

Empty queue

  • All matrix rows off, or next due is far out.
  • Plan limits throttling automation—wait for next window.
  • Rich/video jobs slower than text—give it time.

Generic captions

Enrich Brand DNA (facts, audience, offers, tone). Thin DNA → thin copy.

Buffer works; Prometheus cannot connect

  • Open https://publish.buffer.com/settings/api New / Create API → copy it (password-like). Paste with no extra spaces.
  • Paste → Save key on Social media.
  • Not revoked in Buffer; retry after ~1 min for transient API errors.

Still stuck
