Actions
What your agents can do in Buffer
Schedule, queue, draft, edit and delete social posts on every channel connected to Buffer (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok, Pinterest and more), list what is scheduled or sent with its performance, and save ideas.
Read 6
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Get the account and its organizations
Reads the Buffer account the key belongs to and its organizations.
List channels
Lists the social channels (connected profiles and pages) of an organization.
List posts
Lists an organization's posts, filtered by status (draft, needs_approval, scheduled, sending, sent, error), channels, tags or a date window, sorted by scheduled time or creation time.
Get a post
Reads one post by its ID: id, text, status, dueAt, sentAt, channelId, channelService, shareMode, schedulingType, externalLink (the post on the network, once sent), error.message.
List ideas
Lists an organization's saved ideas.
Get a performance summary
Adds up the performance of an organization's sent posts over a window of up to 365 days, optionally for some channels only.
Write 4
Create, change or send.
Create a post
Creates a post for one channel (for several channels, call it once per channel).
Edit a post
Changes a post that has not gone out yet, by its ID: its text, its schedule (mode and due_at), or turns it back into a draft.
Delete a postDeletes data
Deletes a post by its ID: a draft or a queued post is removed before it goes out; a sent post is removed from Buffer only (the post stays on the network).
Save an idea
Saves a content idea in an organization (Buffer's Create space), not yet tied to a channel or a time, with a title and/or text, the networks it is meant for and an optional target date.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste an API key from your Buffer account.
What you enter
- API key
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Buffer data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can get the account and its organizations, list channels or list posts in Buffer, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Buffer
Have the agent create a post or save an idea in Buffer as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Buffer and Slack: it can get the account and its organizations in Buffer and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
