• For any mentions added to Instagram and X posts, you have to write the exact handle name of the profile you want to mention.

  

• You can only mention Business and Creator accounts in Instagram posts. Private accounts can't be mentioned due to platform-specific restrictions.

• For LinkedIn posts, you can only mention accounts that follow your organization's page.
