More on Buffer and Dozens
About Buffer
Buffer is a social media management tool for scheduling, publishing, and analyzing posts across X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Pinterest, YouTube, and Google Business Profile. A Buffer "channel" is one connected social account, and posts are queued to one channel at a time. Use Buffer on IFTTT to automatically fill your queue from any source, publish posts instantly, or get notified when scheduled content goes live.
