Possible problems
Unable to update a post
The Update a post action does not allow to edit a draft (a post that’s in progress). You can only update published posts.
The Watch posts trigger failed to download a post
The Blogger interface enables to download posts only assigned to one specific status. Blogger distinguishes three post statuses:
-
Post in progress (draft status)
-
Published post (live status)
-
Scheduled post (scheduled status)
If you’d like to monitor posts in more statuses, you’ll need to create a separate scenario for each status.
