Auto-Schedule on Approval Timing Check

Check that a post auto-scheduled on approval went out only after the final approval time. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Final approval timestamp, scheduled publish time and actual publish time for each post.

How it works

1. Record the final approval timestamp.
2. Record the scheduled and actual publish times.
3. Flag any publish time earlier than the final approval.
4. Return the timing check without changing the schedule.

The output

post | final_approval_at | scheduled_at | published_at | minutes_after_approval | violation

Worked fictional example

Fictional post had final approval at 3:15 PM and was published at 2:30 PM: 45 minutes before approval, so 1 timing violation; the correct 4:00 PM slot was 45 minutes after approval.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
