# How to tag/mention people or social accounts

|| This feature is available only for [Facebook](/en/article/managing-facebook-accounts-on-publer-5dgqgl/), [LinkedIn](/en/article/managing-linkedin-accounts-on-publer-1c6hrwl/), [Twitter](/en/article/managing-twitter-accounts-on-publer-rtlf87/),  [Instagram](/en/article/managing-instagram-accounts-on-publer-1v5s9gf/), [Threads](/en/article/managing-threads-accounts-1sivtgn/), [Bluesky](/en/article/managing-bluesky-accounts-in-publer-1ivh8zy/), and [Mastodon](/en/article/managing-mastodon-accounts-in-publer-r6pwhl/).

||| For Facebook, you can only tag Pages.

||| For Twitter, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon, you can tag any accounts, including people. You can also tag the LinkedIn Personal Profiles that you have added in Publer or follow your LinkedIn Pages.

# Facebook

||| Due to API limitations, you can only mention other Facebook Pages, not Personal Profiles.

* Select at least one Facebook social account
* Type **@** followed by the **name** of the Facebook Page you want to tag (not the username).

![Tagging Facebook Pages](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eefbebed3e091800/screen-shot-2024-12-30-at-1082_t73cve.png)

* You can also tag a Facebook page by entering their **Page ID**, which you can find under **About -> Page Transparency** on Facebook.

* Select one of the suggestions / results returned by the Facebook API **(important)**

# Twitter

* Select a Twitter account
* Type **@** followed by the specific **name** or the **username** of the Twitter account you would like to tag

![Tagging Twitter accounts](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2023-05-30-at-90807_idp6e.png)

* Select one of the suggestions / results returned by the Twitter API **(important)**

# LinkedIn

|| You can now mention your LinkedIn **connections**, **followers** of your company pages, and other LinkedIn company pages using either their **name** or **vanity name**.

||| When tagging LinkedIn profiles, avoid placing a comma immediately after the name, as it will interrupt the mention search. LinkedIn will stop showing suggestions, including the profile you are trying to tag.
||| Example that won’t work: @Publer, – the comma ends the search and prevents the mention from working.

### Mentioning LinkedIn Company Pages

||| Tagging may take a few moments as Publer gathers data from multiple LinkedIn endpoints (connections, pages, and page followers) to display the most accurate results.

* Select at least one LinkedIn social account.
* Type **@**, followed by the **name** of the LinkedIn Company Page you'd like to tag.

|| Similarly, you can tag the followers of your company page by following the same steps.

* From the dropdown suggestions, choose the correct company page to apply the mention properly.
* Alternatively, if you cannot find the company page by its name, try searching using its **vanity name**, which is the unique username in the page’s LinkedIn URL.

* For example, in this link: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kalemicode/, the vanity name is **kalemicode**. Simply type **@**kalemicode to mention the page.

* Always make sure to select the correct suggestion from the dropdown to ensure the mention is added properly.

### Mentioning LinkedIn Personal Profiles

|| You can mention your LinkedIn connections or other personal profiles with certain restrictions.

||| Due to API limitations and restrictions, you can only mention your 1st-degree connections, other LinkedIn Personal Profiles that are part of your Publer workspace(s), or accounts that follow your LinkedIn Page(s). If the name of the LinkedIn Personal account has changed and the new name [hasn't been synced](/en/article/how-to-sync-info-date-name-profile-picture-and-albumsboardscategories-and-how-to-edit-the-profile-picture-and-name-1m354ug/) in Publer, the tag won't work.

||| Tagging may take a few moments as Publer gathers data from multiple LinkedIn endpoints (connections, pages, and page followers) to display the most accurate results.

||| If the 1st-degree connection [has disabled mentions](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a522861) or chosen not to share their information with third parties [outside of LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/mypreferences/d/settings/profile-visibility-for-partners), they won't show up in the suggestions.

* Select at least one LinkedIn social account
* Type **@**, followed by the name of the LinkedIn profile or connection you want to tag.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/e/e/f/b/eefbebed3e091800/2025-06-17-155852-settings_18vuzk6.png)

* Always make sure to select the correct suggestion from the dropdown to ensure the mention is added properly.

# Instagram

||| Due to API limitations and restrictions, Publer can only return results for the Instagram accounts that you use or have used in Publer. Otherwise, Publer won't return a result. However, you can always manually and correctly type the Instagram handle, and the account will be tagged accordingly once the post is published.

* 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 the Instagram account from the returned suggestions
* Otherwise, you can manually type the rest of the **Instagram handle** (i.e. @instagram)

||| Due to Instagram limitations, Publer can't autocomplete or spellcheck usernames for Personal accounts, only Professional ones. Please double-check the spelling of the username of the Personal accounts before saving.

![Tagging Instagram Accounts](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eefbebed3e091800/instagramtag_rnivep.png)

* In both cases, the accounts will be tagged properly once the post is published

# Threads

||| Due to API limitations and restrictions, Publer can only return results for the Threads accounts that you use or have used in Publer. Otherwise, Publer won't return a result. However, you can always manually and correctly type the Threads handle, and the account will be tagged accordingly once the post is published.

* Select the Threads account where you want to post to
* Type **@** followed by the **name** or the **username** of the Threads account you would like to tag
* If they use / have used Publer, you can simply select the Threads account from the returned suggestions (i.e. @publer)
* Otherwise, you can manually type the rest of the **Threads handle**.

![Tagging Threads Accounts](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eefbebed3e091800/screenshot-2023-12-01-at-51651_3rzcps.png)

* As you can see, Publer will return all the applicable suggestions, from all the respective servers
* Select one of the returned suggestions / results **(important)**

|| Note: You can also type the full correct username (i.e. @ProPublica@newsocial.tech) and the account will be tagged accordingly when the post is shared. As you can see, for accounts that exist on different servers, the tag will look like this: "@usename@server". The "server" won't affect the character limitations.

# Tagging multiple accounts from different social networks

||| 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

![Tagging on multiple accounts](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eefbebed3e091800/multitag_17zvtfu.png)

* Click on the customize icon on the bottom left corner of the post and proceed with the mentioning for each social network

![Customize Tagging](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/eefbebed3e091800/multitahg_1cp615k.png)

* When the posts are published, the tags/mentions will show up accordingly.
