Get a notification when Buffer publishes a post
How this automation works
This applet helps podcasters automatically create and schedule a promotional social post in Buffer whenever a new Buzzsprout episode is published. It runs when Buzzsprout triggers "New episode published" and uses Buffer's "Schedule a post" action to queue the episode link and message to your connected social profiles. Perfect for podcasters who want to automate podcast promotion, this podcast social media scheduler turns each release into a ready-to-go post so you can focus on recording.
