Updating a post

The updatePost mutation changes an existing post: not yet published, scheduled, a draft, or already published (with the limits below). It requires a token with write access and an active plan.

mutation {
  updatePost(
    id: "post_id"
    post: { fields: { text: "Updated post text" } }
  ) {
    id
    status
  }
}

Parameters

Argument	Type	Description
`id`	ID!	Post ID
`post`	PostUpdate!	Data to change (all fields are optional)

PostUpdate fields:

Field	Type	Description
`fields`	PostFieldsInput	Content — the same fields as in `createPost`
`networks`	PostNetworksInput	Accounts to publish to
`publishAt`	DateTime	New publishing time (UTC)
`draft`	Boolean	`false` — move a draft to publishing
`draftParams`	DraftParamsInput	Draft schedule. If omitted, it stays as it was. When moving a draft to publishing (`draft: false`), pass a schedule so it is resolved into a publishing time
`fieldOverrides`	PostFieldOverridesInput	Per-network and per-account changes. If omitted, they stay as they were; empty `bySocialType` and `byAccount` clear them

Unlike createPost, there is no publishDelayMinutes here: use publishAt to change the time.

Response

The mutation returns the updated Post object.

Limits

You cannot update a published post if more than a day has passed since it was published.
You cannot change the publishing time (publishAt) of an already published post.
While a post is being processed (publishing or updating), the update is rejected — retry later.
Changing images and the link in an already published post is not supported by all social networks: in some of them such changes will not be applied. Operations that are not available for a particular publication are listed in results[].notAllowed (see the Post object).

Error codes are described in Errors.
