Troubleshoot & Retry: Fix Stuck or Incomplete Boosts

πŸ”§ Troubleshoot & Retry: Fix Stuck or Incomplete Boosts

πŸ“ Overview

Troubleshoot & Retry is your safety net when a boost gets stuck or encounters issues.

➑️ It creates a new boost with only the missing tasks, ensuring you always receive 100% of the engagement you paid for.


⏰ When to Use Troubleshoot & Retry

The button shows up automatically if all conditions are met:

  • βœ… Boost was created more than 1 hour ago
  • βœ… Less than 75% of tasks have been completed
  • βœ… The boost has never been retried

Typical scenarios:

πŸ”΄ Boost stuck at a certain %

πŸ”΄ No progress for several hours

πŸ”΄ Some reactions/comments failed

πŸ”΄ Temporary LinkedIn issues


βš™οΈ How It Works

1️⃣ Locate the Button

Go to app.podawaa.com

Got to My Posts

The button appears in the action area of affected boost cards. Look for the πŸ”§ icon.

2️⃣ What Happens When You Click

  • Analysis β†’ system finds all undelivered tasks
  • New boost β†’ created with only the missing reactions/comments
  • Original boost β†’ marked as β€œforce recreated”
  • Cleanup β†’ pending tasks from the old boost are cancelled

3️⃣ Confirmation

A dialog explains:

βœ”οΈ β€œA new boost will be created with only the missing tasks”

βœ”οΈ β€œYour existing progress will be preserved”

➑️ Click β€œYes, Retry Boost” to confirm.

4️⃣ Results

  • βœ… Success message shows number of retried tasks
  • βœ… New boost appears in your queue
  • βœ… Original boost marked as β€œretried”
  • βœ… You keep all original progress


πŸ“¦ What Gets Preserved vs Recreated

Preserved:

  • βœ… Delivered reactions
  • βœ… Posted comments
  • βœ… Boost history & analytics
  • βœ… Original boost record

Recreated:

  • πŸ”„ Undelivered reactions
  • πŸ”„ Failed/pending comments
  • πŸ”„ New queue position for faster delivery

πŸ’° Cost: No extra charges. Retry uses the credits from your original boost.


πŸ“Š Example Scenario

Original Boost:

  • 100 reactions ordered
  • 20 comments ordered
  • Stuck at 60% (72 reactions + 12 comments delivered)

After Retry:

  • New boost = 28 reactions + 8 comments
  • Original 72 + 12 preserved
  • βœ… Final result = Full 100 reactions + 20 comments


πŸ’‘ Best Practices

⏰ Wait 1 hour before retrying – delays are normal during peak times

πŸ“Š Check progress – if >75%, the boost is nearly complete

πŸ”„ One retry only – prevents duplicates & abuse
