Connecting networks

Planned networks, their limits, and demo channels you can use today. Live posting is coming soon.

Overview

Live posting is coming soon. No network is switched on yet, so today every channel is a demo channel: posts are scheduled and "published" to a simulator, with sample stats and comments.

When a network goes live, SocialPostScheduler will use only its official API. Open Channels → Connect, pick a network and follow the sign-in. Most networks use OAuth; Bluesky uses an app password; WhatsApp uses the Meta Cloud API.

If a token expires or is revoked, the channel shows a reconnect banner and failed posts are retried up to 3 times.
