Tagging colleagues, clients, or partners is a powerful way to boost your online reach and engagement. Apostle supports two ways of tagging:
In the web dashboard: Tag team members’ LinkedIn accounts and business pages for LinkedIn and Facebook
In the mobile app: Tag anyone directly while sharing your post
Tagging in the web dashboard
In the admin web dashboard, you can tag any connected personal LinkedIn profile of your team members. For LinkedIn and Facebook, you can also tag external business pages by searching directly from within the platform.
Please note: Instagram tagging works differently. It is not possible to search for or select Instagram business pages in the dashboard. However, if you manually type @[pageslug] (the Instagram handle of the page) in Apostle, Instagram will automatically convert this into a clickable tag after publishing.
How to tag in the web dashboard
Go to Create Post
Click the @ icon in the text field
Choose:
Search in Team to tag a team member
Search Facebook Pages or Search LinkedIn Pages to tag business pages
Click the name to insert the tag into your post
Your team members will see the tag when the post is suggested via the mobile app or by email.
⚠️ Important:
Due to platform limitations, tagging personal accounts via the web dashboard only works for LinkedIn and only for connected accounts in your platform. We're researching ways to enable external and cross-platform tagging. Instagram tagging for business pages is coming soon.
Tags won't work for business pages whose Facebook or LinkedIn names include emojis or punctuation marks.
Business page tags added in the web dashboard won’t work for posts shared to personal Facebook or Instagram accounts via the mobile app. These tags will appear as plain text. Team members must manually re-tag when posting.
Tagging Facebook and LinkedIn pages in one post variant
You can tag both Facebook and LinkedIn business pages in a single post variant. This is helpful when you're publishing the same post to both platforms.
How to tag both platforms
Go to Create Post
Select both Facebook and LinkedIn as platforms
Click the @ icon in the text field
Click Search Facebook Pages and select the correct page
In the Composer, click the tag (not the @ icon), then search and select a LinkedIn page
You’ll now see both platform icons appear behind the tag
Complete and schedule your post
⚠️ Important: Only use this when creating a single post variant for both platforms. The correct tag will appear based on the channel the post is shared to. For example, if shared on Facebook, only the Facebook tag will display.
Tagging in the mobile app
With the Apostle app, you can tag people while sharing posts. Tagging works differently for each platform:
Facebook & Instagram
Open the Apostle app, find the post, and tap Share
Tap the Facebook or Instagram icon
A message confirms your text has been copied to your clipboard
The relevant app opens automatically
Paste the text and type @name to add your tag
Tap Post to publish
Note: For Instagram, you’ll go through screens like filters before seeing the caption field. Make sure the Instagram and Facebook apps are installed on your phone.
Open the Apostle app, find the post, and tap Share
Tap the LinkedIn icon, then tap Share
A message appears asking if you want to tag someone
Tap Yes to open the post in LinkedIn
Tap the menu in the top-right and select Edit post
Add your tag using @name
Tap Save
Note: You need the LinkedIn app installed on your phone to tag successfully through Apostle.
⚠️ Important: Tags for business pages added via the web dashboard do not require manual tagging. The steps above apply only to tagging external personal accounts.
