Log links to all my social posts in my daily note

Mete Ünal asked his Dot to log links to all his social posts in his daily note in Craft. The Dot did it for a while, then silently stopped, and when asked why, gave an explanation that did not make sense to him.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Watch for the user's social posts
  2. Append each link to the daily note in Craft
  3. Silently stop doing it at some point
  4. Give an unconvincing explanation when asked

Why it’s worth knowing

A recurring job quietly died with no alert; the user only found out by checking.
