 * Hello,
 * Where can I find the available post variables for the auto-post template?
 * Also, is there a way to limit the number of characters when using %post_content%?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@osully](https://wordpress.org/support/users/osully/),
 * You can find a full list of available variables [here](https://tycoonmedia.net/blog/using-the-quick-publish-feature/).
 * Posts will be automatically cut to a maximum of 1500 characters (which is the
   character limit for GMB posts).
 * But if you want to limit the number of characters for the %post_content% variable
   itself, you could use the %post_excerpt% variable.
 * Its also possible to add custom variables, so you could add a custom variable
   that cuts the post content to a certain length. If that’s what you’re after, 
   let me know and I can create a code snippet for you.
