Before you begin

Treat each selected account as a separate external destination. Confirm the account identity and intended visibility before submission.

Follow these steps

  1. Select the connected destinations you intend to use; review any Select all choice carefully.
  2. Inspect each account’s caption variation and preview, then check the displayed platform limits.
  3. Complete required title, media and network-specific visibility or consent fields.
  4. Submit only when at least one selected destination is eligible. Read preflight skips or errors rather than assuming every network will receive the content.
  5. Open the resulting receipt and inspect all destinations, including any skipped before dispatch.

Fields and options

Selection
1–25 connected destination IDs per request.
Text limits
Instagram 2,200; Threads 500; LinkedIn 3,000; Pinterest 500; Bluesky 300; Mastodon 500. YouTube uses up to 5,000; TikTok photo 4,000 or video 2,200. The main-caption field itself remains capped at 5,000.
Compatibility
A destination can be skipped for unsupported format or invalid content while another eligible destination proceeds.

Rules and limits

  • At least one eligible destination is required to create a publishing request.
  • An all-skipped result does not overwrite an existing saved draft.
  • Facebook’s larger provider text allowance does not expand this composer’s 5,000-character main-caption field.

Check the result

  • Compare the receipt’s selected and eligible destinations with your intended list.
  • Check that each skipped reason is understood before preparing any replacement request.

If something does not look right

  • For mixed-format destinations, create separate appropriately formatted posts rather than expecting the module to transcode media.
  • For missing connections, verify or reconnect them before a new deliberate submission.

Common questions

Will one unsupported network block every other account?

Not necessarily. Eligible destinations may proceed while incompatible destinations receive a skipped receipt.

Can the module automatically convert a video into a Pinterest image?

No. Prepare a supported image and submit it deliberately.
