Allowing anyone to Add Social Accounts

With SocialBu, you can now allow anyone—clients, teammates, or even people who don’t use SocialBu—to securely connect social media accounts to your SocialBu workspace.

In this article, you will learn:

1. How to generate account connection links
2. How others can use the links to add accounts
3. What happens after the accounts are connected
4. FAQs

Step 1: Go to Social Accounts

1. Log in to your SocialBu account.
2. Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
3. Select “Social Accounts” from the dropdown.

Step 2: Generate the Connection Link

1. Click on the “+ Add Account” button.
2. A list of supported platforms will appear.
3. At the top, click “Let someone else connect the accounts”.

Step 3: Choose the Platform

1. You’ll see a list of platforms for which you can generate unique connection links.
2. Click on a platform (e.g., Facebook) to generate the secure link.
3. Copy the generated link.

You can repeat this step for each platform where you want someone else to connect an account.

Step 4: Share the Link

1. Share the copied link with your client, teammate, or external contact.
2. When they open the link, they’ll be redirected to the platform's login page.
3. Once logged in and access is granted, the social account will be added directly to your SocialBu workspace.

What Happens Next?

• The added account appears in your SocialBu account under Social Accounts.
• Admins can then assign these accounts to teams as needed.
• The person adding the account doesn’t need a SocialBu subscription or account themselves.

FAQs

• Can the person I share the link with see my other accounts?

No. The shared link only allows them to connect their account. They cannot access your existing accounts or data.

• Can the person revoke access later?

Yes. They can revoke access from their social media platform settings at any time.

• Are there any platform limitations?

The feature works with all platforms supported by SocialBu, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and more.
