Connecting Platforms
Soku lets you connect your social media accounts so you can publish content to multiple platforms from a single dashboard. All platform connections use secure OAuth authentication — you never share your password with Soku.
How Connections Work
- Go to Settings > Integrations in your Soku dashboard.
- Click Connect next to the platform you want to add.
- You are redirected to the platform’s official authorization page.
- Grant Soku the required permissions.
- You are redirected back to Soku, and the account appears in your integrations list.
Soku securely stores your authorization tokens and automatically refreshes them in the background to keep your connections active.

| Instagram | OAuth via Facebook Login | Image, Video, Carousel | Managed by Meta (long-lived token) | Yes |
| TikTok | OAuth 2.0 | Video, Photo | Automatic | Yes |

| Facebook | OAuth via Facebook Login | Text, Image, Video | Long-lived user token | Yes |
| X (Twitter) | OAuth 2.0 with PKCE | Text, Image, Video | Automatic | Yes |
| Threads | OAuth via Meta | Text, Image | Managed by Meta | Yes |

Plan Limits
Each plan determines how many accounts you can connect per platform.
| Plan | Accounts per Platform |
|---|
| Starter | 1 |
| Pro | 2 |
| Agency | Unlimited |
Where Connection Data Is Stored
Each connected account is stored as an integration record at users/{uid}/integrations/{provider}. Every integration includes:
- The platform provider name (e.g.,
instagram, tiktok)
- Your account identifier on that platform
- Securely encrypted authorization tokens
- An
enabled_for_repost toggle for automation features
Keeping Connections Healthy
Soku runs background token refresh sweeps to keep your connections active. For platforms that support automatic token refresh (X, TikTok, YouTube), Soku handles renewal before tokens expire. For other platforms, long-lived tokens are used and refreshed as needed.
If you change your password on a connected platform or revoke Soku’s access from that platform’s settings, you will need to reconnect your account in Soku.
