Edit Published Social Post - Birdeye Developer Portal

edit_published_social_post

Description

Edits the text of an already-published social post created through the API. Use it to fix a typo or update the wording of a post that is already public. Only the text can be changed, and only on Facebook, Google Business Profile, and LinkedIn.

This is a write tool — it changes live content on the connected social channel. Confirm the exact post and the new text with the user before calling.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`accountNumber`	string	Yes	—	Account/business number the post belongs to
`trackingId`	string	Yes	—	Tracking ID returned when the post was created through the API
`text`	string	Yes	—	New post text. Character limits: Google 1500, Facebook 5000, LinkedIn 3000
`socialSite`	string	Yes	—	Channel to edit. Valid values: `"FACEBOOK"`, `"GOOGLEMYBUSINESS"`, `"LINKEDIN"`
`subBusinessNumbers`	list[integer]	Yes	—	Location IDs the edit applies to. IDs not part of the original post are ignored

Example Usage

Fix the typo in my published Google post BvgqPRWtObg4jWTKG2wHBg.

Update the text on my published LinkedIn post BvgqPRWtObg4jWTKG2wHBg.

Notes

Returns a success response indicating the post text was updated.
Only the text can be edited, and only on FACEBOOK, GOOGLEMYBUSINESS, and LINKEDIN.
trackingId is supplied by the user (returned when the post was created through the API) — it cannot be resolved from another tool.
To take the post down instead, use delete_social_post.
