Character Count Limits for publishing

Updated 

Publishing to social channels often involves considering a variety of character count limitations. Sprinklr's Publisher takes the guesswork out of how many characters you have left in your message: when publishing through Sprinklr, the Publisher will display the character limit of your message in the bottom right corner, based on native capabilities by channel and best practices for channel performance.

Character Limitations

Below, you'll find the character count limitations for channels that have specific character limitations displayed in the Publisher within Sprinklr. When publishing, these limitations will apply to the character count of your outbound messages' text. The current character count remaining will display below the message content field.
