Sending History
View your automated campaign's send history and all its details.
Review the complete history of automation runs, including successful sends, skipped sends, and errors.
The Sending History pop-up is one of the best tools for troubleshooting automation behavior and understanding what happened during a specific automation run.
Access Sending History
To view the history for an automation:
Navigate to the Automations tab in the Feedotter UI.
Locate the automation you want to review.
Click the three-dot menu in the Actions column.
Select View History.
A history window will open displaying all runs associated with the selected automation.
Understanding the History View
Each history record represents a single automation run.
For each run, Feedotter displays:
Preview of the generated email
Date and time of the run
Number of new posts detected
Number of posts included in the email
Link to the generated email in your ESP
Status of the run
New Posts vs Included Posts
The NEW/INC column displays two values:
New Posts The number of articles Feedotter identified as new during the automation run.
Included Posts The number of articles ultimately included in the generated email.
View Emails in Your ESP
If an email was successfully generated, the ESP column includes a link to open the email directly within your connected Email Service Provider.
This can be useful when reviewing generated emails, troubleshooting sending behavior, or verifying content.
Understanding Statuses
The Status column displays the result of each automation run.
Success
A Success status indicates that Feedotter successfully generated the email and completed the automation process.
Problem
A Problem status indicates that Feedotter encountered an issue during the automation run.
When a problem occurs:
Click View Details.
Review the error information provided.
The details window contains specific information about the failure and is often the fastest way to determine what went wrong.
Need help? If you're unsure how to interpret an error message, review the troubleshooting documentation or contact the Feedotter team at success@feedotter.com and include the error details.
Viewing Skipped Runs
By default, skipped automation runs may be hidden from the history view.
To display skipped runs:
Open the Sending History window.
Enable the Skipped checkbox in the upper-right corner.
Feedotter will display runs that were skipped because automation conditions were not met.
Common reasons for skipped runs include:
No new content was found
Require New Content to Send was enabled
Content did not meet filtering requirements
Skipped runs will display a status of Skipped.
Automation Details Page
You can also review automation history from the Automation Details page by clicking the automation name from the Automations table.
The Automation Details page displays a visual history of previous sends, including full email previews (click the eye icon) and quick access to generated emails.
