How do I connect my social media accounts?

Connect the right channel, Page, or profile and avoid the most common authorization mistakes.

Open Accounts, choose Connect account, then select a platform. Complete the authorization on that platform and return to Solnk to confirm the account you want to add.

Platform-specific instructions

Instagram — You need an Instagram Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page. Personal accounts are not supported. During authorization, grant the requested publishing and analytics permissions.

Facebook — Only Facebook Pages can be connected, not personal profiles. You'll select which Pages to authorize during the OAuth flow. Make sure you're an admin of the Page.

TikTok — You'll be redirected to TikTok to authorize solnk. Available publishing modes and privacy choices are loaded from TikTok after connection.

YouTube — Sign in with your Google account and select the YouTube channel you want to connect. You must have a YouTube channel created before connecting.

LinkedIn — Both personal profiles and Company Pages are supported. For Company Pages, you need admin access to the page.

Pinterest — You'll authorize solnk to access your boards. After connecting, you can select which board to pin to when creating a post.

X / Twitter — Sign in with your X account to authorize solnk. If X revokes or expires the authorization, use Reconnect on that account. X publishing also uses the plan allowance described in X publishing limits and allowances.

Threads — Connects through your Instagram account. You need an Instagram Business or Creator account with Threads enabled.

Bluesky — Enter your handle (e.g., yourname.bsky.social) and an App Password — not your regular login password. To create an App Password, go to Bluesky Settings > App Passwords > Add App Password.

After connecting

  • Confirm that the account name and username in Solnk match the channel, Page, or profile you intended to connect.
  • For supported platforms, Solnk starts a read-only history import in the background. Use the account's History action to check it.
  • Create a draft before your first live post so you can review the selected destination and platform settings.

Common issues

  • "Permission denied" error — Make sure you granted all requested permissions, then use Reconnect on the existing account.
  • Account not appearing after auth — Check that your account meets the platform's requirements (Business account for Instagram, admin access for Facebook Pages, etc.)
  • Token expired — Solnk refreshes supported tokens in the background. If an account is marked Need reconnect, use Reconnect on that specific account. Do not remove it first; reconnecting preserves its imported history and analytics relationship.
