Connect your social accounts
Facebook Pages and Instagram, LinkedIn company pages, YouTube channels, X with your own keys, websites for push notifications, and accounts you post to by hand.
Go to Accounts. Each connected account shows its network, its followers, who linked it and whether it needs attention.
Facebook and Instagram
Click Facebook & Instagram, sign in to Facebook and allow Ellibo to manage your Pages. Back in Ellibo, tick the Pages and Instagram accounts to connect.
- You need to be an admin of the Facebook Page.
- An Instagram account must be a business or creator account linked to a Facebook Page; it appears under that Page.
- Instagram posts always need a picture or a video.
Click LinkedIn, sign in, and tick the company pages you are an admin of. LinkedIn signs Ellibo out after about 60 days unless it can renew the sign-in; Ellibo renews it for you when LinkedIn allows, and tells you if you need to connect again.
YouTube
Click YouTube, sign in with the Google account of your channel and allow access. Posts to YouTube are videos: the first line of your text is the title, the rest the description.
X
X charges for its API, so each business uses its own X developer keys. At developer.x.com make a project and an app with Read and write permission, then copy the API key and secret and the access token and secret of your account into Accounts > X.
A website for push notifications
Click Push notifications and choose one of your Ellibo websites. See Push notifications and visitors. (Business plan.)
Any other network, by hand
Click Any other network and name it, for example "TikTok - @ourshop". Plan posts for it with the others; at the time you get a reminder, copy the text, post it yourself and click Mark posted.
When an account needs attention
- Signed out by the network: click Reconnect. Posts to it wait until then.
- Paused: your plan covers fewer accounts. The oldest accounts keep working; upgrade, or disconnect one.
- Disconnect removes Ellibo's access. Posts that went out and their numbers stay in your reports.
You sign in on each network's own page; Ellibo never sees your password. Prefer your own developer app? See Own developer apps.
