Buffer for AI agents
Agents read Buffer at once. Changes and sends are held for a person's approval by default.
About Buffer
Buffer is a social media management platform for planning, creating, scheduling, and publishing content across connected channels.
What an agent can do in Buffer
Every Buffer action is classed by the platform as a read, a change or a send. Reads run at once. Changes and sends are held for a person by default.
Runs at once (reads)
Looks things up in Buffer without asking first. 5 actions.
- Get Account ContextReturn the connected Buffer account, its organizations, and the accessible social channels in each organization so an agent can discover the IDs required by other tools.
- List Idea GroupsList the idea workflow groups in a Buffer organization so an agent can discover group IDs for filtering or idea creation.
- List IdeasList content ideas in a Buffer organization, optionally filtering by explicit idea groups or grouped versus ungrouped workflow membership.
- List PostsList and filter posts in a Buffer organization without requesting OAuth-inaccessible analytics fields.
- List Post TemplatesList Buffer public templates and templates visible to the connected user in an organization, optionally filtered by visibility.
Held for approval by default (changes and sends)
Held for a person's approval by default. The approval is recorded and the action is sent once, never twice, with 10 seconds to undo. 6 actions.
- Create IdeaCreate a persistent content idea in a Buffer organization. Buffer's public API provides no operation to update or delete an idea after creation, so this action cannot be undone through the API.
- Create Post DraftCreate an internal text-post draft for exactly one Buffer channel. This action always saves a draft and does not queue, schedule, or publish it.
- Delete PostPermanently delete a Buffer post by ID, including a draft created for cleanup. This operation cannot be undone.
- Delete Post TemplateDelete a writable private Buffer template, or an internal template when the connected user is an organization admin or owner. This operation cannot be undone.
- Publish PostsQueue, schedule, or immediately publish the same text post to one to 10 Buffer channels. The 10-channel cap bounds external side effects and provider requests in one invocation. Calls are non-atomic:
- Save Post TemplateCreate a private or internal Buffer post template, or update an existing writable template when template_id is supplied.
