Connecting Social Channels
Link your social accounts so you can publish content straight from AEO.
The Connections page is where you link your social media accounts to AEO. Once a channel is connected, you can push generated content to it with Share to Social, no copy-pasting between tabs. Open it from the sidebar at Settings → Connections.
Available Channels
We are rolling channels out gradually. You can connect these today; the rest are on the way and appear with a Soon badge.
- Available now: Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn (both personal profiles and company pages).
- Coming soon: X, Threads, Zalo, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, Medium, WordPress, Blogger, Slack, and Wikipedia.
Managing Connected Accounts
Each connected account shows its live status and how recently it published. AEO watches the access token the platform gave us and warns you before it lapses.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Connected | The account is healthy and ready to publish. |
| Expires in N days | The platform token is about to lapse. Click the channel tile again to re-authorize and refresh it before it stops working. |
| Token expired | Publishing is paused for that account until you reconnect. Re-authorize from the same tile to restore it. |
| Disconnect | Use the trash icon on an account row. You can reconnect anytime by re-authorizing, but you will need to grant permissions again. |
Posting Limits
Every platform has its own healthy posting rate, and AEO protects your account by spacing posts out and capping how many go live per day. Each connected account shows a quota bar with how many posts it has used today. When you're near the limit, AEO tells you when the next post can safely go out. This keeps your accounts from being flagged for spammy behavior.
Publishing Queue & Recent Activity
Below your channels, the Connections page tracks what is happening with your posts. The Publishing Queue lists posts waiting to go out (and any that failed, with the error), while Recent Activity shows everything that has already been published.
Open Connections
Go to Settings → Connections from the sidebar. The Channels section at the top shows every platform as a tile, each with a Connected or Not connected status.
Pick a channel
Click the tile for the platform you want to link: Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn (personal profile or company page). Tiles marked Soon are not available yet; clicking one just tells you it is coming soon.
Confirm it connected
After you approve, the platform sends you back to AEO and the new account appears under Connected accounts with a green Connected status. That account is now ready to publish to.
Publish to it
Open any finished article or social post from your Content Library and use Share to Social to push it to the connected channel. Published posts show up under Recent Activity on the Connections page.
Connect the account you actually want to post from. For a brand Page, log in with the profile that manages it during the authorization step.
If publishing suddenly stops, check the account status first. An expired token is the most common cause and is fixed by re-authorizing the channel.
