Post to social media on behalf of clients, auth examples?

How To

Social media posts on behalf of a customer?

Has anybody got something like this working? How does auth happen? LinkedIn, FB,TW and Instagram are the platforms I’m trying to post to for clients.

Easiest way is your client sets up their Make organization, invites you to it.

Then, you provide instructions for them on how to setup a connection for each of their social media accounts.

Or, your client installs Buffer which can already post to multiple accounts. You create a new team for each separate client to connect their Buffer accounts in.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

P.S.: Did you know, the concepts of about 70% of questions asked on this forum are already covered in the Make Academy. Investing some effort into it will save you lots of time and frustration using Make later!

Thanks. I want to do what Buffer does, post on behalf of. I don’t want to require them to have to get another account too (make or buffer).

If buffer can do it, we should be able to do it. Seems like an enormous amount of use cases for automation businesses would become easier.

I understand that you have to register an app with each platform to do this. I’ve done that with LinkedIn so far and apparently, I’m getting permission using an http module. To your point I’m running the scenario and then choosing one of my different accounts to log in when presented with the login choices.

Could I email a url and run it to a web hook then the http module? I don’t know what to do after that…thinking…Maybe I can find a way to do this and store credentials in Firebase and get them from there?

Thanks for your time!
