Troubleshooting parse failures

If Queue parse job fails or returns zero posts, use this checklist. Do not send your ZIP to support—describe the session name, platform (Facebook / X), and the error text from the job panel.

Common causes

  • Wrong file type — Must be an official platform export ZIP, not a folder you zipped yourself.
  • Incomplete download — Re-download if the ZIP is tiny or won’t open locally.
  • Corrupted ZIP — Re-export from Meta or X.
  • Unsupported export layout — Rare format changes; note export date and platform in support.
  • Job already running — Wait for the current job; the app reuses an active job instead of duplicating.

What to try

  1. Refresh job on Import & review.
  2. Confirm upload progress reached 100% for every file.
  3. Upload missing parts if Meta split the export into multiple ZIPs.
  4. Create a new session only if the upload itself is suspect.
  5. Read the job message verbatim when contacting support (paid users: in-app chat).

After a successful parse

Open Parsed posts, pick your upload, and use Included only if you marked posts excluded during review.
