How to connect a social account
Open Channels, press Connect an account, pick the platform and sign in to it in the window that opens.
Buzzmark never sees your password, and an account you connect once can post for any of your social sets.
Instagram and Threads only connect Business and Creator accounts, and Facebook only posts to Pages you admin.
Connect the account
1. Open Channels in the menu, or press c.
2. Press Connect an account. The social set in the top bar opens on Accounts.
3. Under Connect a new account, pick the platform.
4. Read what the platform needs, then press the button that continues to it, such as Continue to LinkedIn.
5. Sign in to the platform in the window that opens, and allow Buzzmark there.
When the window closes, Buzzmark checks the connection for up to 30 seconds and tells you whether the account is live. A connection that didn't finish stays under Accounts with Try again beside it.
Note: Only the owner or an editor can connect accounts.
What each platform needs
| Platform | What connects |
|---|---|
| A Business or Creator account. Switch a personal one in the Instagram app first. | |
| Threads | A Threads profile linked to an Instagram Business or Creator account. |
| A Page you admin. Pick the Page after you sign in. | |
| Your profile or a page you manage. To post as both, connect LinkedIn twice. | |
| X and TikTok | A personal or business account. |
| Google Business | A verified location you own or manage. Each location connects on its own. |
Add it to another social set
An account you connected for one set can post for another without signing in again. Open the other set's Accounts, tick the account under Already in your workspace, and press Add 1 account.
Questions
Why won't my Instagram connect?
Instagram lets only Business and Creator accounts post from other apps. Switch the account type in the Instagram app, under Settings, Account type and tools, then connect again.
