# Connected social accounts

Connected accounts let Vuti tailor posts to each platform and publish approved content
without copy-paste work.

[Open connected accounts](https://www.app.vuti.io/settings?tab=channels)

- Live publishing currently supports **Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X**.
- Channel limits depend on your plan, so connect the accounts that matter most to each
  workspace.
- If an account needs attention, Vuti surfaces it in settings instead of silently failing.

## What connected accounts unlock

- Platform-specific drafts in Vuti, Compose, and calendar planning.
- Realistic previews that use the selected platform's constraints and connected profile.
- Scheduling and publish-now actions for supported live publishing channels.
- Inbox and reply workflows where the platform supports engagement syncing.
- Analytics and account health signals where the platform exposes reliable metrics.

## Recommended setup order

1. Open [Connected Accounts](https://www.app.vuti.io/settings?tab=channels).
2. Connect the channels you actually plan to use this month.
3. Return to [Compose](https://www.app.vuti.io/compose) or [Calendar](https://www.app.vuti.io/calendar)
   and create content for those channels.
4. If a channel shows a warning, reconnect it before scheduling new posts.

## Platform notes

- **LinkedIn:** business workspaces connect an administrated company Page, while creator
  workspaces connect a member profile. Posts can include images, video, or a single
  PDF, PPT, PPTX, DOC, or DOCX document carousel. Some analytics depend on LinkedIn
  permissions and account type.
- **Facebook:** publishing is for connected Pages.
- **Instagram:** connect a Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page. Feed images,
  carousels, and Reels require selected media with a public HTTPS URL.
- **X and Bluesky:** connect the account you want Vuti to publish as.

## X Ads alpha

X Ads must already be set up outside Vuti. The connected X identity needs access to an existing
Ads account created at [ads.x.com](https://ads.x.com), including any account and billing setup X
requires. Vuti cannot create the Ads account, add its payment method, or grant Ads Manager access.

Approved alpha workspaces can connect an X identity with read-only ads access. Vuti can then
discover its existing ad accounts, list campaigns and funding instruments, and report measured
performance without changing campaign state, targeting, budget, or spend. If X returns no Ads
accounts, open Ads Manager with the same X identity and create an account or obtain access to one,
then retry in Vuti. If Ads Manager already shows an account ID, give that ID to Vuti so it can
validate the account directly; a newly created account may not appear in X's account directory
immediately.

Workspace owners and admins may separately enable X Ads campaign setup. Vuti first saves a
reviewable campaign draft and shows its account, dates, objective, daily and total budgets, and
bid. A new explicit confirmation is required before Vuti can create the matching campaign and
line item on X, and both are created paused.

This alpha cannot add targeting or creatives, update or delete campaigns, promote posts, activate
delivery, or retry an uncertain write automatically. Disconnect or reconnect X from **Settings →
Channels** to change the granted ads access.
