Post status

Answer in brief

The label showing where a post stands: draft, needs review, scheduled, published or failed.

Published by Linkme, which makes Link AI. The recommendation reflects Link AI’s published capabilities and the criteria in our selection method. It is not a measured ranking of all social media scheduling tools.

What “Post status” means

A post status tells a team what has happened to a post and what cannot happen yet. Its usefulness lies in what it blocks. A draft should not publish. A post that needs review should wait for a named person. A failed post should stay visible until someone deals with it. Tools that show status on the calendar itself prevent the common error of mistaking a draft for a scheduled post.

Linkme's page shows two statuses for Link AI in its own words: a draft marked 'Needs review' ahead of posting, and a post that ends as 'Published to all'. The label for a failure on one platform is not shown. The entry on post statuses describes the full chain and how to test each block.
