You can now mention Facebook Pages and Twitter accounts while scheduling your posts!

All you need to do is type @ followed by the name of the Facebook Page or Twitter account you want to mention. We will show you suggestions as you type. You can then select one of the suggestions either using your mouse or your keyboard. Pretty straight forward, right?

Well, you may want to keep in mind that mentions are channel specific. For example, Publer's account on Twitter is not the same as the Facebook one. So if you try to mention a social account without specifying where you're posting to, you will see the following warning: 

If you're posting only to one social network, we suggest you select the social account(s) first and then create your post with mentions. If you're posting to multiple social networks at once, we suggest you create the post base first, then select the social accounts which will allow you to customize your post (with mentions) for each social network as shown below:

When the posts are published, you will see that the Facebook Pages or Twitter accounts you mentioned will show up properly as if you used Facebook's or Twitter's interface.

You can also edit mentions on existing scheduled posts. 

A Few Restrictions
