Text
Only has text copy and no other attachments. The text can include clickable hyperlinks. If a link generates a link preview card filled with metadata about the link, the post is rather considered a 'Link Post' as described below.
Single-image
Has one image file attached.
Multi-image
Has more than one image file attached.
Album
Has multiple images that get added to an Album on Facebook.
GIF
Has an animated GIF file attached.
Video
Has a video file attached.
Link post
Has a link preview card filled with metadata about the attached link. Bear in mind that links can also be added in the text of a post, without generating a link preview card. Only posts with a link preview are considered link posts.
Link-carousel
A Carousel post consisting of links with link preview cards. Users can flip through the cards like a carousel.
Image-carousel
A Carousel post that consists of images, instead of link preview cards. Users can flip through the images like a carousel. This format is currently not supported in Flowbox due to API restrictions.
Story
