|
| 16 |
Social Media Auto Poster connects your WordPress site to Buffer, enabling automatic social media publishing whenever you create or update content. Share your blog posts, pages, and custom post types to multiple social networks without manual posting. |

|
| 18 |
=== Why Choose This Social Media Automation Plugin? === |
| 19 |

| 26 |
**Compatible Social Networks** - Auto post to Facebook Pages, Twitter (X), LinkedIn Pages and Profiles, Threads, Google Business Profile, Mastodon, Bluesky, and TikTok. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |

Our [API](https://www.wpzinc.com/documentation/wordpress-buffer-pro/data/) connects your website to [Buffer](https://buffer.com/join/6392aeec568614de895ed38fafa7784b8718c77dc7800419bdfbbacaaaa793d8). An account with Buffer is required. |
| 128 |

We connect directly to your Buffer (buffer.com) account, via their API, to: |
| 130 |
- Fetch your social media profile names and IDs, |
| 131 |
- Send your WordPress Posts to one or more of your social media profiles. The profiles and content sent will depend on the plugin settings you have configured. |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
We connect to our own [API](https://www.wpzinc.com/documentation/wordpress-buffer-pro/data/) to pass the following requests through to Buffer: |
| 134 |
- Connect our Plugin to Buffer, when you click the Authorize button (this obtains an access token from Buffer, once you have approved authorization) |
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
Both of these are done via our own API, to ensure that no secret data (such as oAuth client secret keys) are included in this Plugin's code or made public. |
| 137 |
|
| 138 |
We **never** store any information on our web site or API during this process. |
