Post Message Guidelines: Stories vs Feed Posts

Post Message Guidelines: Stories vs. Feed Posts

Instagram & Facebook Story Posts:

• Story messages (post message copy) are not shown on either platform

• Any inspection time or call-to-action must be included within the template design

Instagram & Facebook Feed Posts:

• Feed post messages do appear on both platforms

• You can tailor the post message content for each platform using simple logic

Conditional Message Formatting (Platform-Specific)

You can use Properti’s platform tags to customise feed post messaging based on where it's being posted:

To show a link in Facebook, but hide it on Instagram:

To show “Visit link in bio” on Instagram, but hide it from Facebook:

This is especially helpful if you use a tool like Linktree, Linkin.bio, or Milkshake for directing Instagram users to a landing page with inspection details.

To show multiple inspection times (Sat & Sun for example) for a single listing but hide if no inspection times are found:

{{streetAddress}}, {{suburb}}

{{headline}}

{% echo "Open for Inspection" | unicode: "bold sans" -%}
{% assign processed_dates = "" %}
