Tumblr is a blogging platform. Connecting it lets PostDelegate publish scheduled posts to one of your blogs.
What you need
- A Tumblr account with at least one blog.
Connect
- On the calendar page choose Add Channel, then Tumblr.
- Sign in with Tumblr and approve the permissions. PostDelegate asks to post to your blogs and to stay signed in.
- Choose the blog to connect. To post to another blog on the same account, add it as a second channel.
What gets published
- Each post is published straight away on the blog, not queued or saved as a draft on Tumblr.
- Post text can be up to 32,768 characters.
- Add up to 30 images, or one MP4 video, to a post.
- Tumblr posts are single posts. Follow-up entries are not available.
Post settings
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Title | Optional. Shown as a heading at the top of the post. |
| Link URL | Optional. Added to the post as a link. |
| Source URL | Optional. Credits where the content came from. |
| Tags | Optional. Separate tags with commas. |
Troubleshooting
- The channel asks to reconnect. Tumblr stopped accepting the saved sign-in. Use Reconnect channel and sign in with Tumblr again. See Reconnecting a channel.
- Daily limit reached. Tumblr caps how many posts, uploads and videos a blog can publish each day. The post fails with Tumblr’s reason; schedule it for the next day.
