Advanced Commands
If you're the control-freak type you can use commands in the body of your email to make Buffer do your bidding from afar:
Command | Shortcut | What it Does |
---|---|---|
@profiles | @p | Only add the post to the specified buffer. You can use this with any of your account names and there is no need to be exact, just part of the name is fine.
To include multiple accounts just separate with commas or spaces. |
@service | @s | Add to all of your accounts connected to a specific social network. You can also use 'facebook' or the shorthand 'fb' to direct posts to Facebook only. |
@link | @l | Attach a link to your post, we will automatically use the first link in the body but sometimes this can catch footer links. Use this command to make sure the right link gets attached if you have any problems! |
@postnow | @now | Include this command anywhere in the body and your posts will be sent instantly instead of being placed in your Buffer. |
@help | Get a copy of these instructions whenever you can't remember a command - or just type 'help' as the subject and we will email you straight back. |
