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.
