Include an @ tag in a post
Tagging other social accounts in your Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn posts creates a link that will take readers to the tagged account. It's a great way to acknowledge other organisations or people in your posts.
- Add a Facebook social profile to your post, then enter the '@' symbol in the text box, and then start typing the handle of the Page you want to tag.
- Once you've entered the Facebook Page's handle, a list will appear beneath it, displaying several handles. Click the one you want to add to your post.
- Add an Instagram profile to your post, then enter the '@' symbol in the text box, and start typing the handle of the Instagram account you want to tag.
-
Once you've entered the Instagram account's handle, a list will appear beneath it. Click the account you want to mention in your post.
X (formerly Twitter)
- Add an X (formerly Twitter) profile to your post, then enter the '@' symbol in the text box, and start typing the handle of the account you want to tag.
- Once you've entered the account's handle, a list will appear beneath it. Click the account you want to tag in your post. You must type the handle exactly to have a successful tag.
LinkedIn Company Pages
Tag LinkedIn Profiles
For posts to LinkedIn Company Pages, you can tag an individual's LinkedIn Profile if they are a follower of your Company Page.
- Add a LinkedIn Company Page to your post, then enter the '@' symbol in the text box, and start typing the handle of the LinkedIn Profile account you want to tag. They must be a follower of your Company Page.
- Once you've entered the account's handle, a list will appear beneath it, displaying both companies and people. Look for one with the icon for a personal account, and click the account you want to tag in your post.
Tag other LinkedIn Company Pages
- To tag a LinkedIn Company Page in your post, select a LinkedIn profile, enter the '@' symbol in the text box, and start typing the handle you'd like to tag.
- Once you've entered that LinkedIn Company Page's handle, a list will appear beneath it. Clicking the one you want to tag will add it to your post.
Multiple profiles
When you have selected multiple profiles, you'll find that you won't be able to add tags for all the profiles in the Original Compose Box tab; only one social profile will be able to be tagged.
When applying tags here, depending on the social profiles you've selected, it will default to pull a tag from 1) Facebook, 2) Instagram (including hashtags), and 3) LinkedIn, in that order.
For example, if you have added a Facebook and a LinkedIn social profile to a post, you'll be able to tag a Facebook Page from the Original tab, and then you'll have to add the LinkedIn tag on the LinkedIn tab.
If you want to create a post that includes multiple profiles and add a tag for each one, you must add the tag individually per social site.
- If a tag isn't in the drop-down list, add spaces or dashes between words. Depending on how the social media site reads each account's tag, this may generate more results.
- Tagging is currently not available from within the Content Library or when scheduling to a Profile List due to tags being specific to each platform.
- You cannot copy and paste a tag into the Compose Box. You must enter the '@' symbol and select the Company Page or Profile from the drop-down list.
