Connecting your social channels to publish automatically

Answer

Want generated posts to appear on your social media automatically? Connect your channels on the Publishing Channels page. Go to Settings > Publishing Channels. You connect Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok there through bundle.social, and you connect X and YouTube directly from Identity First Media.

Connecting Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok

These four channels run through bundle.social, a secure connection service that handles the login for you.

1. Go to Settings > Publishing Channels.
2. Under Connect your social accounts, click Connect. If you have already connected an account, the button is labeled Add channel.
3. You are taken to bundle.social. Sign in to the channel you want to connect and grant permission.
4. Once approved, you return automatically. The account appears with a green checkmark and your username.

Connecting X and YouTube

You publish to X and YouTube directly from Identity First Media.

1. On the same page, go to the Direct connections block.
2. Click Connect next to X or YouTube.
3. Sign in to the platform and grant access. The channel is now connected.

Having posts published automatically

Connecting alone does not post anything yet. You decide per post what happens:

1. Go to Social Posts in the sidebar.
2. Click Schedule on a post and pick a date and time.
3. Under Publishing, choose Automatic. bundle.social then posts it for you at the chosen time. This option is only available for connected channels: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
4. Posting to X or YouTube, or is the channel not connected yet? Choose Manual. You get a reminder with ready-made text and media, and post it yourself.

Disconnecting a channel

On Publishing Channels, click the disconnect icon next to a connected channel. Confirm in the Disconnect channel? dialog. Scheduled posts to that channel are cancelled. You can reconnect the channel at any time.

Tips

• At the top of the Social Posts page, the Connected channels: row shows at a glance what is connected. Click that row to jump straight to Publishing Channels.
• Just want your profile links in your website footer? That is set up separately under Settings > Social Media, and is unrelated to connecting for publishing.
