Choose the first job
Use the first idea as your brief: Collect approved posts, owners, and publishing status in a workspace built around your editorial process. Name the person responsible and the information they need to act.
- 02
Confirm access before connecting
Connect the intended social channels and test with a draft. Keep publishing behind editorial approval.

Shape the app with Scout
Use the starter prompt below. Ask Scout to propose the records, source field mapping, views, and access rules. Preview sample data before connecting Buffer; keep source IDs so records stay traceable.
- 04
Pilot, then expand
Test with a small approved dataset and a least-privileged user. Check missing records, revoked access, repeated events, and failed requests. Enable live writes or messages only after the responsible owner approves the workflow.

Create this app with Buffer: Social publishing desk. Collect approved posts, owners, and publishing status in a workspace built around your editorial process. Start with sample data and a small, approved set of records. Before connecting live data: Connect the intended social channels and test with a draft. Keep publishing behind editorial approval. Propose the data model, access rules, and source-to-app field mapping before implementation. Add source links, a last-updated time, and clear empty and connection-error states. Keep credentials out of client code. Require human approval for external messages, source changes, or money movement. Test duplicate events, revoked access, and recovery before publishing.
Make it work your way.
