FAQ

Why aren't connected networks saving after being authorized?
All authorized accounts must be saved after authorization is granted. Please scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes before exiting. 
Why does EveryoneSocial need so many permissions to connect accounts?
Great question! EveryoneSocial use OAuth for authorization and we are considered a vendor of each network. Networks group vendor permissions and levels of access to take actions within an account. EveryoneSocial uses a permission level that allows everyone to share content and receive data accordingly. Please check out how we authenticate networks and use the granted permissions.

Can Facebook be connected to share posts from EveryoneSocial?

LinkedIn and X are the only platforms that allow continual connection to their platforms.

Facebook prohibits this type of always-on connection, but you can still share to Facebook. Each time you want to share a post from EveryoneSocial to Facebook, start the external share process and toggle on Facebook. A separate tab will open to begin the process. Learn more here.

Instagram sharing is only available via the mobile app. You can share EveryoneSocial posts to Instagram, but you’ll need to do so using EveryoneSocial’s mobile app. Learn more here.
