Mentions and tags
Schedulin's composer accepts @username mentions in caption text. How those mentions render — and whether they trigger a notification on the network — depends on the platform's API.
How each network handles mentions
| Network | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Twitter / X | Live link, notifies the user. Use @handle. |
| Live link to a personal profile or company page. Pick from the autocomplete in the composer to ensure the URN is attached. | |
| Mentions of Pages work and notify; mentions of personal profiles via API do not work. | |
Mentions render as live links in the published caption and notify the mentioned account. They are plain @handle text — no autocomplete needed. | |
| Threads | Live link, notifies the user. |
| Bluesky | Live link if the handle resolves; plain text otherwise. |
| TikTok | Live link, notifies the user. |
| Mentions render as plain text. | |
u/username works for users, r/subreddit for subs. |
Tagging users in Instagram media
Instagram supports tagging accounts directly on the photo or video (separate from caption mentions). In the composer's Instagram panel:
- Click Tag users under the media.
- Search and select the account.
- Tap to place the tag on a single image (carousels: per-item tags supported).
These tags appear when someone taps the image, separately from @mentions in the caption.
Collaborator tags (Instagram)
For Reels and feed posts, Instagram lets you invite up to three collaborators. Collaborated posts appear on the collaborator's profile too. Add collaborators in the Instagram composer panel — they must accept the invite from the Instagram app once the post goes live.
Why a mention didn't notify
- The handle was misspelled. We send what you typed; the network treats unknown handles as plain text.
- The mentioned account has muted notifications from non-followers.
- The platform doesn't support API-driven notifications (Facebook personal profiles).
