How Integrations Work
OAuth Authentication
Integrations use OAuth, an industry-standard authentication method:
- You click "Connect" on a platform
- A popup opens to the platform's login page
- You authorize the connection with your credentials
- The platform sends a secure token to our system
- We use that token to publish on your behalf
Your password is never shared with us. OAuth ensures you maintain control and can revoke access anytime.
What We Can Access
When you connect a platform, we can:
- Post content on your behalf
- Schedule posts for future publishing
- Read basic profile info (name, profile picture)
- View post metrics (if permitted by platform)
We cannot:
- Access your private messages
- Change your account settings
- Access your password
- Connect to other accounts without your permission
Token Security
- Tokens are encrypted at rest
- Tokens are refreshed automatically
- You can revoke access at any time
- We only request necessary permissions
Integration Types
Main Account
Each platform can have one "Main" account per workspace:
- Used as the default for campaigns
- Automatically selected when creating content
- Indicated by a star badge
Additional Accounts
Connect multiple accounts per platform:
- Manage different brands
- Handle multiple regions
- Separate business units
Plan limits may apply to the number of connected accounts. Check your billing settings for details.
