SocialHistorySealingNotification

On the free edition, finished posts older than the 90-day history window are sealed: their content is encrypted and blanked until a licence restores it. This notification is published before each batch (up to 200 posts) is sealed, for information only.

The following properties are available within the notification

Property Name Type Use
PostIds IReadOnlyList<int> The ids of the posts about to be sealed. Read-only.

Sealing can’t be cancelled or postponed. The free edition’s history is always sealed once the window has passed, so there is no Cancel and nothing a handler does stops the batch: it is sealed on the same run. Likewise there is no setting or service to replace that switches sealing off. To keep your whole history readable, use a licence.

  • It is published only on the free edition. A licensed site seals nothing.
  • It runs on the background server that sends posts, outside any request.
  • A handler that throws is logged (with the post ids) and ignored: the batch is still sealed.

SocialHistorySealedNotification is published after each batch is saved.
