How to Mention/Tag in Posts on Nuelink.
Nuelink makes it simple to mention other social media accounts in your posts, helping you connect directly with brands, influencers, and followers. You can tag accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), BlueSky, and Telegram. However, tagging is not supported on Pinterest or YouTube.
To tag an account, type “@” followed by the account’s exact username. For Facebook and LinkedIn specifically, you’ll need to create a custom caption—just click the “+” above the caption box, select the platform, and adjust the caption as needed.
Please note that you can only tag pages (not personal profiles or groups) on Facebook and LinkedIn due to platform-specific restrictions. Additionally, while searching for accounts is available on these two platforms, it is not supported on the others.

What is The Difference Between Tags And Mentions?
Mentions and tags can often be confused as the same thing, but they are different from one platform to another.
What is a Mention?
A mention is when you write someone’s username using “@username” in a caption or comment. It’s a way to get their attention or include them in the conversation.
Example: If you write, “Had fun with @username!” in your caption, you are mentioning them. They’ll get a notification, but it only shows in the text—it doesn’t link them to the photo or post.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to mention someone using Nuelink.
What is a Tag?
A tag is when you add someone to a photo or post to show they are part of the content.
Example: If you share a picture with a friend, you can tag them so others know they are in it. They’ll get a notification, get invited to accept the tag, and the content might also appear on their page.
Tags are available on Instagram and are sometimes called Collabs or Collaborations. With Nuelink, you can easily use the Instagram Collabs feature to tag users.

Tags and mentions are how you can speak of other social media accounts in your post caption, but are used in different situations. Usually starts with “@” and is followed by the full name or username of the account you would like to call out.
What did my post with the tag fail?
The post will fail due to an incorrect username, make sure to insert the full username after ‘@’ correctly.
Can I tag Facebook profiles or groups?
Due to API limitations we only support tagging of Facebook pages, make sure you type and full page name correctly after ‘@’ and select it.
Why the tag does not work?
Make sure you are creating a custom caption for each social media post tag, click the ‘+’ sign above the caption in the Post Editor, select your social channel, click on the social channel icon, type ‘@’, and proceed to type the full name or username f the account you want to add and select the account from the dropdown.
