unsupported_content

Content problem — one of 20 documented failure codes the publishing engine can emit, rendered from the same catalog the publishing service uses.

What it means
This platform does not support the requested post or media combination. Change the content before retrying.
Is it retryable?
Only after you change the content. The platform rejected what was sent, so retrying it unchanged will fail the same way every time.
What Publishly does
  • Records the failure against the post with the code unsupported_content.
  • Fires a signed post.failure webhook carrying the class, code, reason & whether Publishly will retry.
  • Surfaces the reason above directly on the post, so you never have to guess what happened.
What you should do
  • Open the post and compare it against the reason above.
  • Edit the media, caption, or settings the platform rejected.
  • Save your changes and retry.

This code is one layer — receipts, retries & webhooks are the rest.
