Connect accountsFAQUpdated · 2 min read

How do I connect my social accounts?

Go to Settings and click Connect next to a platform. A popup walks you through the platform's own login. We only ask for what sprkly uses: posting, analytics and Instagram DM replies. We never post anything you didn't schedule yourself, and your tokens are encrypted (AES-256). You can disconnect anytime.

TikTok and YouTube: instant

Both are fully approved and connect immediately.

Instagram, Threads and Facebook

  • Instagram needs a professional account (Business or Creator).
  • Threads connects with the same Meta login.
  • Facebook connects a Page you manage. You pick the Page during connect.

Bluesky, X, LinkedIn and Telegram

  • Bluesky connects with your handle. You sign in on Bluesky.
  • X is on every paid plan. It is not on Free or the trial.
  • LinkedIn connects your own profile, on every plan. You sign in on LinkedIn.
  • Telegram connects a channel, on every plan. You add the sprkly bot to it as an admin. No popup.

Account requirements

  • Instagram: must be a Business or Creator account (switch in the Instagram app under Settings → Account type).
  • Facebook: you need a Facebook Page (not just a profile) and admin access to it.
  • YouTube: posts publish as Shorts (vertical 9:16 video).

How many accounts can I connect?

An account is one handle on one platform: @yourbrand on Instagram is one account, @yourbrand on TikTok is another. The free trial includes 5 accounts. Creator is US$29 a month for 5 accounts. Bigger plans hold 10, 30 or 100.

Step by step for each platform: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Threads, Facebook, Bluesky, X, LinkedIn, Telegram.

Still will not connect?

  • Check the account type first. Instagram must be Business or Creator.
  • For Facebook, check that you manage the Page.
  • Then email support@sprkly.app. We reply within one business day.
