Connect a channel
Murmalo publishes through each network’s official API. A connection starts on the provider’s own sign-in page, so your password never reaches Murmalo.
Supported networks
Section titled “Supported networks”The beta supports X, LinkedIn, Facebook Pages, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok and YouTube. Facebook personal profiles are not supported; connect the Page you manage. Instagram requires a professional account linked to a Facebook Page. For YouTube, choose the channel you publish to.
Before you connect
Section titled “Before you connect”- You need permission to manage the account, Page or channel.
- Allow pop-ups for this site, because the provider’s sign-in opens in a window.
- If your organisation restricts app access, an administrator may need to approve the connection first.
Connect
Section titled “Connect”- Open Channels and choose a network.
- Sign in on the provider’s page and approve the requested access.
- Return to Murmalo; the channel appears with its profile name and picture.
- Create a draft and select the channel to test the connection.
What access Murmalo asks for
Section titled “What access Murmalo asks for”Murmalo reads the profile details it shows next to the channel, publishes posts you schedule, and reads the results of the posts it published. Messaging access is requested only when you turn on an Engagement Rule that replies privately.
Reconnect or disconnect
Section titled “Reconnect or disconnect”Access can expire or be withdrawn by the provider. The Channels page shows when a channel needs attention; reconnect from the same page. Disconnecting removes the stored access and stops scheduled posts for that channel. Posts already published stay on the network, where you can remove them with the network’s own tools.
