New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Buffer and Google Sheets

Typically, text and URLs are most commonly used. However, it's important to ensure any images referred within URLs are accessible online for Buffer to fetch appropriately.

The frequency of syncing depends on how you've set up your triggers. We advise checking your specific settings, as you can configure them for real-time updates or periodic checks.
