Save the OAuth credentials

#

In Drumbeat Settings, locate Buffer. Enter the Buffer OAuth Client ID and Client Secret for your app. Copy the exact Buffer OAuth Redirect URI shown by Drumbeat into that app’s allowed callback configuration. Save the settings before connecting.

A button asking you to save the Client ID means the connection flow cannot start with the currently saved configuration.

Authorize and choose profiles

#

Choose Connect Buffer and complete the authorization flow for the correct Buffer account. After returning to Drumbeat, confirm the connected status, select the LinkedIn and X profiles Drumbeat should use, and save again.

Choose destinations in your workflow

#

A connected Buffer account is only the first step. Enable the Social channel in your campaign, communication, or automation and choose the required profiles there. Counts in automation social schedules apply to each selected profile.

If profiles are empty

#

Confirm saved client credentials, callback URL, successful account authorization, and the profile choices in Settings. Reconnect if authorization expired or the available profiles changed. Review the error text before retrying. Buffer controls provider access and downstream processing; Drumbeat cannot create a missing Buffer profile for you.
