Channels & Integrations

Connecting social accounts, organizing them into groups, and managing them from Settings

Channels & Integrations

A channel in ReplyNodes is a connected account on one of the supported networks (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more) that you can schedule posts to. We won't list all 28+ networks here — the connection flow and management options below are the same regardless of which one you're connecting.

Connecting a channel

From the Calendar, click Add Channel. ReplyNodes generates an authorization link for the network you pick and redirects you through that network's own login/consent screen (standard OAuth). Once you approve access, the account comes back as a connected integration and shows up in your calendar sidebar with its profile picture and name.

If a connection needs to be refreshed later (a token expired, permissions changed, etc.), the integration is flagged in the UI so you know to reconnect it rather than losing it silently.

Inviting a customer to connect their own channel

If you manage channels on behalf of clients, there's a separate invite link flow: instead of connecting the account yourself, you send a link that lets someone else authorize their own channel into your workspace.

Enabling, disabling, and removing

Each connected channel can be disabled (paused, without disconnecting it) or re-enabled. Deleting a channel entirely also removes any posts that were scheduled to it.

Groups and customers

Channels can be organized in two ways:

• Groups — you can drag a channel into a named group in the calendar sidebar to organize channels however makes sense for you (e.g. by brand or project).
• Customer — if you're an agency, a channel can be assigned to a specific customer, which is a separate concept from groups and is intended for keeping different clients' channels distinct.

Per-channel settings

Individual channels have their own settings, accessible from the channel itself:

• Posting times — default times of day the channel prefers to post at (used when auto-finding a free slot).
• Additional settings — channel-specific options that vary by network (for example, some networks support extra fields the base post editor doesn't have).
• Some networks also let you change the connected account's display name or profile picture directly from ReplyNodes.

Where this lives in Settings

Channel-related account settings (like your API key for programmatic access) live under Settings → Public API. General channel connection and day-to-day management, however, happens from the Calendar rather than Settings.
