just saw something interesting about how anthony revamped the qajobs setup. instead of sticking with the old way, he built out a custom workflow by tapping directly into the buffer api. it sounds like it reallyy changed the game for their reach because they managed to triple their x impressions without much extra manual effort. i always thought buffer was just for scheduling posts, but using the api for a
custom automation is actually pretty clever.
>the secret was all in the workflow integrationit makes me wonder if anyone else here has experimented with
building custom scripts instead of paying for expensive third-party tools . i have been trying to automate my own posting schedule but usually end up stuck on the part of the api setup. does anyone know if his specific method works well for high-frequency accounts or if it risks getting flagged? i am still trying to figure out if this is
worth the development time worth the effort for a small project.
