Connecting your first social account

Connecting a social account links Flikly to the profile, page, or channel you publish from. Once connected, you can prepare posts, schedule content, and publish to supported platforms depending on your plan.

Before you connect

Make sure you are signed in to the social account you want to connect. Use the correct account, page, or workspace when a platform gives you multiple choices.

Some platforms may require a professional, business, or creator account, page admin access, or platform-side approval before publishing features are available.

Your available platform count and features may depend on your Flikly plan. Not every plan includes every supported platform.

Connect your first account

1Sign in to Flikly.
2Open Integrations or the connection step shown during setup.
3Choose the platform you want to connect.
4Review the permissions requested by the platform.
5Approve the connection.
6Return to Flikly and confirm the connected account appears.

Choosing the right account

For personal creator accounts, connect the account you publish from.
For brand or team pages, select the page, channel, or account you manage.
If you manage multiple client accounts, connect the one you plan to use first and add more later if your plan allows.
If the wrong account is selected, disconnect it and reconnect the correct one.

Permissions explained

Only what is needed

Flikly asks for permissions needed to prepare, schedule, publish, or measure content on each platform. The exact options depend on the platform and your plan.

You stay in control

The platform shows its own permission screen. You decide what to approve before the connection is completed.

Easy to change later

You can disconnect an account in Flikly or revoke access from the platform’s own account settings whenever you need to.

Publishing may take an extra step

Some platforms require a specific account type, additional permissions, or platform-side approval before publishing is available.

Common issues

I connected the wrong account

Disconnect it from Flikly and reconnect using the correct platform login. Choose the right page, channel, or profile when the platform asks.

The platform says I do not have permission

Confirm you have the right role on the page, business, channel, or workspace you are trying to connect. Admin or manager access is often required.

My page or channel is not showing

Check that the platform account has admin or manager access and that you selected the right profile during authorization.

The connection failed or expired

Try again in a new browser tab, disable popup blockers temporarily, and make sure you complete the platform approval screen.

I connected an account but cannot publish yet

Some platforms require a creator, business, or professional account type, additional permissions, or platform-side approval before publishing is available.
