Why Did My X, Threads, LinkedIn or Pinterest Repost Fail?

Updated Oct 22, 2026

Start with the reason shown in View Content on the workflow, then find it below.

All four apps

What you see Likely cause What to do
Failed straight away Connection expired or was revoked Reconnect the app in Connections
Wrong account posted Browser was signed in to another account when connecting Sign out in your browser, reconnect. See why your browser matters
Stuck in processing Large file or app delay See items stuck in processing

X

  • Video too long: standard X accounts accept up to 2 minutes 20 seconds.
  • Caption too long: 280 characters on standard accounts.
  • Duplicate post: X rejects posts identical to one you just published.

Threads

  • Access expired: Threads access lasts a limited time; check “Token expires” in Connections and reconnect.
  • Text too long: 500 characters.
  • Video too long: 5 minutes maximum.

LinkedIn

  • Company page posts fail: you need an admin role on the page. Ask a page admin to add you, then reconnect.
  • Access expired: LinkedIn access expires periodically; reconnect from Connections.
  • Posted to the profile instead of the page: check which LinkedIn account the workflow uses (Member profile or company page).

Pinterest

  • No board to choose: create a board in Pinterest first, then reconnect so Repostit sees it.
  • Board was deleted or renamed: edit the workflow and pick a board again.
  • Access expired: reconnect from Connections.
