Connecting Accounts
Link your social media accounts so Viraly can publish content on your behalf.
Supported Networks
X (Twitter)
Post tweets and threads to your X account.
Publish professional content to your LinkedIn profile or page.
Share visual content to your Instagram business account.
YouTube
Upload videos and shorts to your YouTube channel.
How to Connect
- Go to Settings > Accounts in your Viraly dashboard (or navigate to
/app/accounts). - Click "Connect" next to the network you want to add.
- You'll be redirected to the social platform's OAuth authorization page. Grant Viraly the permissions it needs (posting, reading profile info).
- After authorizing, you'll be redirected back to Viraly. The account will appear as "Connected" with your handle and avatar.
Note: Viraly only requests the minimum permissions needed to publish content. We never read your DMs, followers lists, or analytics data.
Managing Connected Accounts
From the Accounts page, you can:
- See which accounts are active and their current status
- Check when the access token expires
- Disconnect an account if you no longer want Viraly to publish to it
- Reconnect an account if the token has expired
Token Expiration
Social platform access tokens expire periodically for security. When this happens:
- Scheduled posts for that account will fail with an authentication error
- The account will show as "Token Expired" in your Accounts page
- Click "Reconnect" to re-authorize and get a fresh token
Tip: Check your connected accounts regularly, especially if you have posts scheduled far in advance. Re-authorizing takes just a few seconds.
