Connecting your social accounts
Postbean publishes through each network’s official API, so what you can do is exactly what that network allows a third-party app to do. Most of the surprises during setup come from those rules, not from Postbean.
What each network needs
Section titled “What each network needs”| Network | Requirement | Publishes to |
|---|---|---|
| Business or Creator account | Feed, Reels, Stories | |
| A Page you own or administer | Pages only — not personal profiles | |
| Threads | The Threads account itself | Your profile |
| TikTok | Any TikTok account | Your profile, directly |
| YouTube | A channel on the Google account | Videos and Shorts |
| Your own personal profile | Your profile — not Company Pages | |
| X (Twitter) | The account itself | Your timeline |
| The account, plus a board to pin to | The board you pick, or the account default | |
| Bluesky | Handle plus an app password | Your feed |
| DEV Community | An API key from DEV settings | Articles on your DEV profile |
