View and understand a sent message’s status
A message’s Status page gives you detailed information about the sent message: How many recipients it was sent to, how many recipients received and acknowledged it, and how many recipients it couldn’t be delivered to. You can also view message responses, and publishing statuses for messages published to social media or other end points (such as RSS feeds, XML files and so on).

Understand the Publishing Status view
The Publishing Status view displays information about messages that have been published to a social media service (such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) or to some other end point (such as an RSS feed, a document file or XML file, or your company’s contact portal). It indicates whether they were published successfully or not, or whether they were unpublished by a Whispir user.
Note: If you’re experiencing problems with publishing your message (for example, its status has remained as Publishing for much longer than expected) contact the Whispir Support Team (support@whispir.com).
In the Channel column you can click any entry that has a link to open the message in the relevant medium (for example, Twitter or Facebook).
It may be possible to unpublish messages. See View your messages for more information.
