Connecting your channels
Channels are where your posts go. Each project has its own channels. Confirm your email address first — connecting is switched on after that.
- In your project, open Channels → Add channel → LinkedIn profile or page.
- Sign in to LinkedIn and allow Postastory to post for you.
- Choose your profile, the company pages you manage, or both.
LinkedIn asks you to reconnect about every two months; we email you a week before.
Facebook and Instagram
- Add channel → Facebook page & Instagram.
- Sign in to Facebook and choose the pages Postastory may use. Instagram accounts linked to those pages appear too.
- Pick the pages and Instagram accounts to connect.
Instagram needs a business or creator account linked to a Facebook page, and every Instagram post needs an image — turn on images in the request or add one to the post.
WordPress
- In WordPress, go to Users → Profile → Application passwords, enter “Postastory” and clickAdd new application password. Copy the password (it’s shown once).
- In Postastory: Add channel → WordPress, enter your site address, your WordPress username and that password.
- Choose whether articles are published or saved as drafts, and the default categories.
Your site needs HTTPS and the WordPress REST API switched on (it is by default). A security plugin can block it — if the test fails, check that plugin first.
Webhook
For your own website or system. See Webhooks.
When a channel needs attention
Connections can expire or be removed on the network’s side. The channel then shows Expired orError, posts to it are held, and we email you. Click Reconnect and they continue.
