FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Improvado connect to Buffer?

Improvado connects to Buffer through scheduled exports: your team exports Buffer post, channel, and content idea data, and the files reach Improvado automatically by email, SFTP or S3. Improvado loads your scheduled posts, channels, content ideas, and account metadata from each export, refreshed on your export schedule.

What Buffer data does Improvado pull?

Improvado extracts Posts/Updates (text, image/video URLs, draft status, scheduled times, first comment for Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn, TikTok title), Channels/Profiles (ID, service type, icons, metadata for 11 networks: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, YouTube, Google Business Profile, Mastodon), Content Ideas (text-only), and Accounts/Organizations (team membership, settings). Comments, DMs, ads, and analytics metrics like engagement or impressions are not included. Data refreshes on your export schedule.

How often does Buffer data refresh?

Buffer data refreshes on your export schedule. Each time a scheduled Buffer export runs, the files reach Improvado by email, SFTP or S3 and load automatically, so newly scheduled posts and channel updates are as current as your latest export.

Can the AI agent write data back to Buffer?

No. Improvado receives Buffer data as scheduled file exports, so the agent does not create, edit, or publish anything in Buffer. It can report on posts across 11 social channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, YouTube, Google Business Profile, Mastodon), check scheduled times and first comments (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), track drafts and content ideas, send digests to Slack or email, and flag posts for your team to fix in Buffer. Every query is logged in Improvado's audit trail with timestamp and agent identity. Role-based access controls let you govern which agents can access scheduled content data.

Is Buffer data secure with Improvado?

Yes. Improvado is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA-compliant, and GDPR-ready. All Buffer data — posts, channel metadata, content ideas, and account settings — is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). SFTP and S3 delivery credentials are stored in a secure vault with role-based access controls. Improvado does not need your social media credentials, and you can configure data residency and retention policies per workspace.

How does Buffer connect with other platforms in Improvado?

Improvado maps Buffer Posts, Channels, and Content Ideas to a Common Data Model shared across 1,400+ data sources. Your AI agent can join Buffer scheduled posts with Google Analytics traffic spikes, correlate TikTok publishing cadence with ad spend in Meta Ads Manager, or compare LinkedIn post volume in Buffer vs. engagement metrics from native LinkedIn analytics — all in a single query. Cross-platform analysis includes social publishing schedules vs. campaign performance, multi-channel content calendars, and post timing optimization across paid and organic channels.
