What do you need help with?
Which plan are you on?
Which social networks?
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.
If the request maps to a strategy skill, route:
/sales-social-media-management [question]/sales-social-listening [question]/sales-employee-advocacy [question]/sales-customer-reviews [question]/sales-online-reputation [question]/sales-influencer-marketing [question]Otherwise, answer directly using the platform reference below.
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, data model, integration recipes, code examples.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in references/learnings.md, append it there.
Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.

Symptom: Scheduled posts don't go live but no error notification appears Cause: Profile connection expired, content violates platform policy, or video quality rejected Solution: Reconnect the affected social profile in Settings. Check the activity log for specific errors. For video issues, ensure the file meets platform requirements (resolution, duration, format). Set up the "Post Failed to Publish" Zapier trigger on Advanced+ for real-time alerts.
Symptom: Connecting social accounts throws errors or requires repeated attempts Cause: Browser permissions, cached sessions, or platform-side OAuth issues Solution: Clear browser cache and cookies for the social network. Log into the social network directly first, then connect in Vista Social. Use a private/incognito window if issues persist. For Facebook Pages, ensure you're granting access to all Pages you manage during the permissions flow.
Symptom: AI-generated hashtags or captions don't match your brand or industry Cause: AI doesn't have enough context about your brand, or your business is niche (events, artists, B2B) Solution: On Advanced+ plans, use the AI Training & Knowledge feature to teach the AI your brand voice, industry terms, and preferred hashtags. On Professional, manually curate a hashtag library and saved captions instead of relying on AI suggestions.
