How AdaptlyPost connects to your social media accounts

AdaptlyPost relies on secure OAuth authentication to link to your social media accounts, eliminating the need for you to share your passwords.

Understanding OAuth authentication

OAuth is a secure authorization protocol offered by each social media platform. When you link an account to AdaptlyPost, you are redirected to the platform's official login page where you authorize AdaptlyPost to access your account.

AdaptlyPost never views or stores your social media passwords. The entire authentication process takes place directly through each platform's secure infrastructure.

How the connection process functions

When linking a social media account:

1. You select the option to connect an account in AdaptlyPost
2. You are redirected to the platform's official login page
3. You sign in using your existing credentials on that platform
4. You authorize AdaptlyPost to publish on your behalf
5. You are sent back to AdaptlyPost with the connection active

Your security and control over connections

You retain full control over all your account connections:

• No password sharing: AdaptlyPost never has access to your login credentials
• Revoke access at any time: You can disconnect accounts from AdaptlyPost or remove access directly from each platform
• Platform-level management: Each social media platform lets you control which applications have access to your account

You can revoke AdaptlyPost's access to any platform whenever you choose through that platform's security settings, ensuring you always have complete control.

Exclusively using official APIs

AdaptlyPost connects to social media accounts through official OAuth APIs supplied by each platform. This guarantees the highest standard of security and compliance with each platform's terms of service.
