Getting started
Connect your first social account
Link a Facebook Page, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, X or Google Business Profile to the brand: you sign in on the network itself, JustCaster never sees your password.
Before you start
- Choose the brand in the header first: the account is added to that brand.
- You must manage the Page, profile, channel or location you connect (each network’s page below says the role needed).
- Your plan gives a number of social profiles shared by all your brands. Each Facebook Page, Instagram account, LinkedIn Page, Pinterest board or Google location is one profile.
Connect an account
- Open Social Accounts (Workspace group). The card What Le Petit Café can connect shows the profiles left on your plan. On the network’s card, select Connect (or Add another account when one is already there).
- The network’s own page opens in the same browser tab. Sign in there with the account to connect (or check the account shown is the right one).
- Approve every permission asked (the button may read Allow, Continue or Authorize). Each permission unlocks a part of JustCaster: publishing, figures, comments. You have 10 minutes to finish.
- When the network gives several accounts (Facebook Pages, a LinkedIn profile and its Pages, Pinterest boards, Google locations), the card Which … accounts? appears: tick the ones for this brand. An account already used in another brand is locked.
- Select Connect. The green line confirms how many accounts were connected; they now show Connected and appear in Create post.
The choice of accounts expires after 10 minutes: if it does, select Connect on the network again.
Account states
| Pill | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Connected | Publishing and reading work. | Nothing. |
| Reconnect | The network ended the access (password changed, permission removed, LinkedIn after 60 days). | Select Reconnect on the card. Scheduled posts are kept. |
| Error | The network refused the last call. | Reconnect the account. |
| Paused | Your plan allows fewer profiles than you have: not used for posts, nothing deleted. | Choose what stays active in Plan usage, or move to a bigger plan. |
Disconnect under an account asks “Disconnect? Its scheduled posts will not go out.” and frees its profile. Reconnecting the same account later adds it back.
Network by network
Each network has its own sign-in page, requirements and publishing rules:
- Facebook Pages · Instagram · Threads · TikTok · LinkedIn
- YouTube · Pinterest · X · Google Business Profile
