# Recap

# Recap

Recap is an add-on on a feed automation: a ranked summary of the posts it announced, sent into the group at set times of day, Eastern time.

## What recap is

> **Warning**
>
> Recap is not available on following trackers.

Every post the automation announces is added to its recap list.

The list survives a pause and a bot restart. Changing the automation's source — the handle — clears it.

## Schedule and fields

*Recap fields*

| Field | Accepted | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Enabled | on / off | off |
| Times | Up to 3 `HH:MM` times, Eastern (America/New_York) | `00:00` |
| Rank by | Likes, Views, Comments, Bookmarks, or Followers | Likes |
| Row template | Up to 500 characters | the built-in row, below |
| Header | Up to 500 characters | none |

The frequency dropdown — **Once a day**, **Twice a day**, **3× a day** — sets how many times you can enter.

## When recap sends, and when it doesn't

Before each slot, the bot refreshes each post's counts, then sends the ranked list. A missed recap is never sent late, and a slot with nothing queued sends nothing.

Recap goes to the automation's alerts topic when one is set (see 2.8), otherwise the group's General.

## Row and header placeholders

*Row tokens*

| Token | Renders to |
| --- | --- |
| `{rank}` | Position after ranking, from 1. |
| `{account}` | A link reading `@handle`. |
| `{handle}` | `@handle` as plain text. |
| `{followers}` | The author's follower count, compacted (e.g. `24.1K`). |
| `{likes}` | Likes, compacted. |
| `{replies}` | Replies, compacted. |
| `{views}` | Views, compacted. |
| `{bookmarks}` | Bookmarks, compacted. |
| `{tweet}` | A link whose visible text is the word "post". |
| `{url}` | The raw post URL, as plain text. |

The header supports one token: `{count}`, the number of posts in that recap.

#### The built-in row template, rendered

| Input | Output |
| --- | --- |
| Template | `{rank}. {account} · {followers} · {likes} · {views} {tweet}` |
| Rendered (rank 1) | `1. @kindachic · 24.1K · 1.2K · 41.8K post` |
| Header with `{count}`, 3 posts | `→ 3` |

*`@kindachic` links to the profile; "post" links to the post.*

Long recaps split into several messages; the header appears on the first only.
