Connect Buffer

Let people send social posts from IdeaLine to Buffer as drafts, queued or scheduled posts.

Owners and admins1 min read

Once Buffer is connected, anyone who can edit a Content, Social media or Email project can send its text to Buffer. IdeaLine sends only what you choose and does not read your Buffer analytics.

  1. Open Settings, then Calendar & integrations and scroll to Buffer
  2. Choose Connect Buffer

    You are taken to Buffer to approve the connection.

  3. Approve, then return to IdeaLine

    The section shows “Buffer” with your organization name and how many channels it found.

  4. Choose Refresh channels after you add a channel in Buffer

Other actions#

  • Use this one switches Buffer organization, if you have several.
  • Reconnect appears if Buffer needs to be reconnected.
  • Disconnect makes IdeaLine forget the connection. Posts already in Buffer stay. You can also remove IdeaLine in your Buffer account settings.
Good to know

If the section says Buffer is not set up for this IdeaLine yet, contact us. See Contact support. To send a post, see Send a post to Buffer.
