Mastodon is a federated, open-source microblogging platform. Automate your Mastodon presence by posting statuses, managing follows, and monitoring your notifications and timeline.
Paperform connects to Mastodon directly through Stepper workflows.
Each lead, sign-up or response can go to Mastodon, where your campaigns, ads and social channels run.
