How to tag/mention other social accounts
This feature is available only for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
Facebook
Due to API limitations, you can only mention other Facebook Pages, not Personal Profiles.

Twitter

LinkedIn
You can mention LinkedIn Pages normally and LinkedIn Profiles with certain restrictions.
Due to API limitations and restrictions, you can only mention LinkedIn Personal Profiles that are part of your Publer workspace(s). If the name of the LinkedIn Personal account has changed and the new name hasn't been synced in Publer, the tag won't work

Instagram
Due to API limitations, we can only suggest Instagram accounts that use / have used Publer. You can always manually and correctly type the Instagram handle, otherwise the tag will not work.
Select at least one Instagram account
Type @ followed by the name or the username of the Instagram account you would like to tag
If they use / have used Publer, you can simply select them from the returned suggestions
Otherwise, you can manually type the rest of the IG handle (i.e. @instagram)
In both cases, the accounts will be tagged properly once the post is published
You can also tag Instagram accounts on the actual photos. Click here to learn more.
Due to API limitations, you cannot mention multiple accounts from different social network with one click. Each social network has their own unique infrastructure for handling mentions.
You will be given a small alert table saying that mentions are channel specific, and you can't mention the same account on multiple social networks at once
Click on the customize icon on the bottom left corner of the post and proceed with the mentioning for each social network
When the posts are published, you will see that the mentions will show up properly as if you used the social network directly.
