Testing the Integration
Before wiring it into your full workflow, test the API directly. A basic curl call to the channels query confirms your token works and shows you the IDs you need:
curl -s -X POST https://api.bufferapp.com/graphql \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $BUFFER_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-d '{"query":"{ currentUser { channels { id name service } } }"}'If that returns your channels, you’re ready. If it returns an auth error, check that the token is exported and that you copied it correctly from Buffer’s settings.
The next module covers the content extraction pattern — how to turn work sessions into queued posts without switching context.
