Use this when the main post landed fine but the follow-up first comment failed on its own — usually because of a rate limit, a missing permission, or because comments were turned off on the post at the moment we tried. Postbreeze re-runs just the first-comment step against the post that already went out, so we don't double-publish the main post. For this to work, all of the following need to be true: 1. The account on the post has to be in the published state — the main post landed. 2. Postbreeze has a record of the platform's id for that published post, so it knows what to comment on. 3. You saved first-comment text on the post when you created it. 4. There's a recorded error from the previous first-comment attempt — if it already succeeded, there's nothing to retry. There's a 30-second cooldown between retries on the same account, so a quick double-click doesn't keep hammering an already-throttled platform. Only workspace **owners**, **admins**, and **editors** can retry first comments. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /posts/{postId}/targets/{targetId}/retry-first-comment openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Postbreeze API description: >- Public REST API for scheduling and managing social posts.
