The Operations journal: did your reposts actually run?

5 steps

Did the repost you started last night actually go through? How many items made it, which ones failed, and why? The Operations journal answers all of that: it's the history of each account's automation tasks — reposts, publications, price changes, deletions, backups — with their status, the item-by-item detail and the reason for every failure.

1

Where to find the Operations journal

Open the Publish page of your dashboard, then click the "Journal" button at the top. A drawer opens with two views: Listings (your drafts, schedules and publications created in Bleam) and Operations — the latter is the one we're covering here.

The journal is per Vinted account: it shows the tasks of the account displayed at the top of the Publish page. If you have several connected accounts, switch accounts with the "Publish on:" picker before opening the Journal.

Four filters sort the list: All, Upcoming, Done, Failures (which includes cancelled tasks). While a task is running, the list updates on its own.

What shows up in the journal

Each row is a task, with its type, item count, date and status:

- Repost — started or scheduled from the Wardrobe, or by auto-restock;
- Publication — scheduled publications, transfers to another account;
- Price change;
- Deletion — and the post-transfer cleanup (deleting the original listing after a transfer);
- Backup.

Possible statuses: Scheduled, Running…, Done, Done with errors, Failed, Interrupted, Cancelled, Suspended — plus two waiting states that explain why nothing is leaving: "Deferred — update required" (your extension needs an update; the task will leave on its own afterwards) and "Waiting for the extension" (no browser with the connected extension is running right now).

One operation's detail, item by item

Click a row to expand it. You'll find the numbers ("18/20 items processed", "2 failed") and one thumbnail per item, with its outcome:

- Processed successfully (green check);
- Left as a Vinted draft (the "Leave as draft" option was on);
- Skipped (item sold or already deleted, for instance);
- Failed (red dot) — hover the thumbnail to read the reason; on mobile, reasons are listed in plain text under the grid;
- Not attempted (the batch stopped before reaching this item).

Each thumbnail links to the listing on Vinted — after a successful repost, to the new listing. On tasks executed by an old extension version, the per-item detail can be missing: the journal then says so explicitly rather than inventing green checks.

Understanding failures and interrupted batches

When a batch stops early, the journal states the cause along with the number of items never attempted:

- "batch stopped after 5 failures in a row" — a lasting problem (session, restriction) rather than bad luck;
- "Vinted had a transient problem" — if the "retry later" option was on, unprocessed items leave again automatically;
- "Vinted anti-robot check triggered" — a captcha blocked the session (see Unblock a Vinted captcha);
- "listing temporarily restricted by Vinted" or "Vinted account blocked or suspended";
- "Bleam session expired during the batch", "unsupported browser", or a stop at your request.

"Interrupted" means the extension didn't confirm the end of the run (server watchdog): some items may have been processed anyway — the per-item detail is the source of truth.

If you have the mobile app, the "Scheduled tasks" push notification sends you each batch's outcome without opening the dashboard.

5

Cancelling or rescheduling an upcoming task

Cancelling doesn't happen in the journal, but from the Wardrobe: every item covered by a scheduled task carries a pill (type + execution date) with a cancel cross. Careful: cancelling removes the task for all the items in the batch, not just the one on the card. A task that is already running can no longer be cancelled.

To reschedule, go through the Wardrobe selection again (Repost → Schedule…).
