It's possible to mention a Facebook page, Instagram account, Twitter account, LinkedIn company page and LinkedIn personal profile in your posts.
How do I mention an account in a post?
To mention an account in a post scheduled on a single social network:
Type @ and type the name of the account
The list of existing accounts that match your search appears
Click on the account you want to mention
Please note that the Instagram, Twitter & TikTok API won't allow us to show a list of accounts matching your search. To make sure the mention is correct, click Verify the account exists on Instagram/TikTok/Twitter*: you'll be taken to the corresponding profile.
*The ability to search for usernames on Twitter was removed from the Twitter API on September 2023
How do I mention an account on multiple social networks?
To mention an account in a post scheduled on multiple social networks:
Type @ and type the mentioned name (The mentioned name is only a placeholder: it will not appear in your posts, it's just a way for you to see that you've included a mention in the text box)
Click Add mentions
The Add mention dialog box appears
For each social network you are publishing on, type the name of the account to see the list of accounts that match your search and click on the one you want to mention
Once you're done setting mentions for all social networks, click Add

Tip: For LinkedIn mentions, we recommend:
To search for the page using keywords, instead of the exact page name - this will work better.
Not to use special characters or letters with "accent", such as "é" or "ó" - use "e" or "o" instead.
