Before WEMASY can publish for you, you connect your social media accounts on the Accounts page of the Social media tool. Each project has its own connections, so the accounts of one website never post for another.
Where to find it
Open Social media from the product switcher and click Accounts in the left menu. You see a card for each platform: Bluesky, X (Twitter), LinkedIn Page, LinkedIn Profile, Facebook Page, Instagram, Threads, Pinterest, Google Business and YouTube.
Connect an account
- Click Connect on the card of the platform.
- Sign in on the platform in the window that opens.
- Allow WEMASY to publish for you.
- Wait until you are back on the Accounts page and see the message that the platform connected successfully.
Pick the page, account or board
For Facebook Page, Instagram, LinkedIn Page, Pinterest and Google Business you sign in with your personal login, and then choose what WEMASY posts as. The card shows No account selected yet until you do this.
- Open the list under Almost done, pick which account to post as.
- Choose the page, account, board or location.
- Click Save selection.
Notes per platform
- Instagram connects through Facebook Login. Your Instagram account must be a professional account linked to one of your Facebook pages.
- LinkedIn Profile posts from your own LinkedIn profile. Use LinkedIn Page to post as a company page.
- Threads posts from your own Threads account.
- YouTube uploads one video per post to your channel. Sign in with the Google account that owns the channel.
- Bluesky does not use a sign in window. Enter your handle and an app password, then click Connect. You create an app password in Bluesky under Settings, App Passwords.
Connect more than one account
You can connect several accounts of the same platform, for example a company channel and a personal channel. Click Add another account on the card and sign in with the other account. In the composer, each account gets its own chip, so you choose exactly where a post goes.
Set the language of an account
Each connected account has a Language list. Leave it on Project language, or pick another language when that account posts for an audience in another language. The composer then shows a tab where you write the text for that language. See Create and schedule a social media post.
Reconnect or disconnect
- Click Reconnect when a platform asks you to sign in again, or when posts fail because access expired. See Fix a failed social media post. Your selected page stays when the new login still has access to it.
- Click Disconnect to remove an account. Scheduled posts to that account will fail, so move or cancel them first.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my Instagram account not show up?
Instagram only lists professional accounts that are linked to a Facebook page you manage. Switch the account to a professional account in Instagram, link it to your page, and click Reconnect.
The card says Connection failed. What now?
Click Connect again and finish the sign in on the platform without closing the window. Make sure you allow every permission the platform asks for, because WEMASY needs them to publish.
Can I write posts before I connect an account?
Yes. In the composer, a platform without an account shows as a chip that waits for an account. The post goes out once you connect exactly one account of that platform.
Tip: Connect accounts with a login that has admin rights on the page or channel, so WEMASY can post as the page and not only as you.
