Use each platform authorization flow instead of sharing social passwords or copying credentials into an operational document.
Social account connection guide
Connect your social accounts before you automate the workflow.
A reliable publishing system starts with the right account, destination and permissions. Use this guide to prepare each connection and avoid preventable publication failures.
Connect Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube
Treat account connection as part of the publishing system
A connected logo is not enough. Confirm ownership, destination access and supported publishing actions before content reaches the queue.
Confirm the Instagram profile, Facebook Page, TikTok profile or YouTube channel that should receive approved content.
Check account roles and platform permissions early so the team knows which formats and actions are available.
Connection requirements by social network
Use this table before authorization and whenever a connection stops working. It reflects the destinations and permission flows used by VixAI.
| Network | Account or destination | Authorization used by VixAI | What to check if it fails |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional Instagram account: Business or Creator | Instagram authorization, or approved Meta access when Instagram is linked through a Facebook Page | Confirm the professional account type, selected profile and granted permissions; reconnect after role or security changes | |
| Facebook Page managed by the person authorizing access | Meta authorization and Page selection | Confirm the correct Page, Page access and requested permissions; personal profiles are not publishing destinations | |
| TikTok | TikTok account selected during consent | TikTok OAuth with user.info.basic and video.publish | Confirm the account and granted scopes, then reconnect if consent or token access changed |
| YouTube | YouTube channel managed by the selected Google Account | Google OAuth with the YouTube upload permission | Confirm the Google Account, target channel and upload consent; reconnect after access is revoked |
Platform interfaces and policies can change. The final authorization screen shown by the social network is the authoritative list of access being requested.
A four-step connection checklist
Complete the same checks for every channel before building a recurring schedule.
Prepare the correct account and admin access
Authorize the platform connection
Verify profile, Page or channel destination
Publish a controlled test and record the result
Connection quality affects every later step
Start by identifying who owns the account and who can approve access. For Facebook and Instagram, Page access and account type can affect available publishing actions. TikTok and YouTube also return settings and destinations for the authorized creator or channel.
VixAI connects through platform authorization flows. The social platform grants the permission and can later expire, revoke or limit it. Keep a named account owner and reconnect promptly when the workspace reports that attention is required.
If authorization succeeds but publishing fails, separate the connection check from the content check. First verify the destination and permission; then verify that the selected format is supported and that any platform-specific settings have been completed. This prevents a media-format error from being mistaken for an account problem.
After connection, use a small controlled publication to validate the destination, format and final platform response. Record the connected account, test date and result so another team member can diagnose a future change without starting from zero.

Frequently asked questions
Which social networks can I connect to VixAI?
VixAI provides publishing connections for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. Available formats depend on the connected account and platform permissions.
Do I give VixAI my social media password?
No. Connections use the authorization screen provided for the platform, where the account owner reviews and grants the requested access.
Why might a connected account need attention later?
Platform access can expire, be revoked by an account owner or change when roles and security settings are updated. Reauthorizing restores the connection when allowed.
What should I check when authorization works but a post fails?
Verify the exact destination, account permissions, supported media format and required platform settings. A successful connection does not make every format valid for every network.
Can I replace the connected profile, Page or channel?
Yes. Disconnect the current destination and complete authorization again with the account that manages the intended profile, Page or channel. Run a controlled test before resuming the schedule.
