Tagging & Mentions

Tag people and brands with confidence

Add mentions from Post Preview, keep your workflow consistent across supported platforms, and publish with confidence knowing exactly what tagging is supported.

How tagging works in Post Preview

Draft your post as usual, then open Post Preview to add mentions. For supported platforms like Instagram, enter @usernames as a comma-separated list, make sure the usernames are correct, then choose your post format. Postly applies tags based on each platform’s supported behavior.

Accuracy matters

For Instagram tagging to work properly, make sure each username is valid and spelled correctly before selecting the final post format.
