Connecting social accounts
To connect an account
- Go to My Accounts.
- Click "Connect a new account".
- Choose the social network.
- Log in on the network's own page and grant the permissions it asks for.
- You are returned to Ignix and the account appears in your list.
You can connect several accounts of the same network. Each connected account counts against your plan's account allowance.
If a connection fails or connects the wrong profile: log out of that social network in your browser first, then connect again. The network reuses whichever session is already open in your browser.
Instagram requires a Business or Creator account. Personal Instagram accounts cannot post through any API, including Ignix.
Facebook connects PAGES, not your personal profile. You log in with your own Facebook account, but what gets connected is the Page (or Pages) you administer. If your account manages several Pages, they all connect, and in the composer you pick which one each post goes to. LinkedIn works the same way with company pages: choose which one to publish as.
Telegram is connected differently, with a code
- Go to My Accounts and choose Telegram.
- Click to generate an access code.
- Open the bot link shown on screen.
- Send the bot the access code.
- Return to Ignix and click "Check connection".
Bluesky is connected with your handle and an app password (not your normal password). Create the app password in your Bluesky settings, then enter your handle and that app password in Ignix.
To disconnect an account, open My Accounts and remove it from the account's menu. Removing an account frees its slot in your plan.
