How-to

Connect your social channels

Link Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, LinkedIn, X, or Google Business to Tention so the scheduler can publish your takes automatically.

Link the accounts where Tention will publish your takes. Channels can be personal (yours alone) or organisation-owned (shared across a Business account). This guide covers both.

Before you start

  • You have a Tention account and have finished onboarding.
  • Use the web app at tention.app. Channel management lives here, not in the mobile app.
  • Have the social account you want to connect open in the same browser, or be ready to sign in.

Connect a personal channel (Solo or Pro creators)

  1. Go to tention.app and sign in.
  2. Click Settings in the left nav.
  3. Click Channels in the settings sidebar.
  4. Under Recommended, find the platform you want: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, Threads, LinkedIn, X, or Google Business.
  5. Click Connect. A new browser tab opens with that platform's sign-in screen.
  6. Sign in and tap Allow (or Grant access) when prompted.
  7. The tab closes and you return to Tention. A confirmation toast appears.
  8. The platform now shows in the Connected list with your account handle.
  9. Repeat for any other platforms you want.

Connect an organisation channel (Business admins)

  1. Go to tention.app and sign in as the admin of your Business account.
  2. Click Settings in the left nav.
  3. Click Organisation > Channels in the settings sidebar.
  4. Under Recommended, find the platform you want to add for the organisation.
  5. Click Connect. A new tab opens. Sign in to the business or brand account for that platform, not your personal account.
  6. Tap Allow when prompted.
  7. The tab closes. The platform appears in the organisation's Connected list.
  8. Repeat for each platform the organisation publishes to.

Reconnect or disconnect a channel

  1. Go to Settings > Channels (personal) or Settings > Organisation > Channels (admin).
  2. Find the channel row and click Manage.
  3. Choose Reconnect and follow the sign-in steps again, or choose Disconnect to remove it.

You'll know it worked when

Personal channel: the platform row appears in the Connected list with your handle, and it shows up as an option when you schedule a take.

Organisation channel: the channel appears in the organisation Connected list. When creators submit takes for approval, the admin can route approved takes to these channels.

The thinking's done. Your turn to talk.

One question a day. Filmed with you, checked against your guidelines, posted everywhere.
