Connections belong to a brand
Settings → Social Accounts lists your personal account first, then one section per business brand. Each section holds its own connections, and the networks on offer differ:
Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn company pages only appear under a business brand — you won’t
find them under Personal. X appears in both, and is connected separately for each brand.
Each section header shows how many accounts are connected, and turns amber with a count of how
many need attention when one of them needs reconnecting.
Other platforms are coming soon. Under the accounts you can connect, each section has a
Coming soon row: Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon on a personal account, and Threads, Bluesky,
Mastodon, Pinterest, TikTok and YouTube Shorts on a business brand. None of them can be
connected. If you connected Bluesky, Mastodon or Pinterest before, that account keeps its card
so you can still see and disconnect it.
How to connect an account
1
Open Settings → Social Accounts
From the sidebar, open Settings, then Social Accounts.
2
Pick the right brand
Pick your personal account, or the business brand this account belongs to.
3
Select Connect
Rheos takes you to that network’s sign-in page and brings you back when you’re done.
4
Confirm it's live
The card shows the account name with a green dot — hover it and it reads Connected. You
can now pick that network for a post.
Platform notes
Instagram
Rheos connects to Instagram directly, not through a Facebook Page. You need an Instagram
Business or Creator account — personal accounts can’t publish through the API. If you’re
switching from personal, do that in the Instagram app first, then connect.
LinkedIn
Two separate cards. Personal Profile lives under your personal account; Company Pages
lives under a business brand.Connecting company pages authorises every page you administer, but only one page publishes
for that brand. If you admin more than one, the card reads No page chosen yet until you
pick one — and until you do, company-page posts for that brand can’t go out. Use the page
picker on the card to choose, and change it any time from the same place.If no pages appear, check you’re a Super Admin or Content Admin of the page on LinkedIn, then
reconnect.
Facebook
You connect a Facebook Page, not your personal profile. Make sure you’re a Page admin first.When you connect, Rheos asks which Page to publish to instead of taking the first one. Until
you choose, the card reads No Page chosen yet. Use the page picker on the card to change
it later.
X
X
X reuses whatever X session your browser already has, so it can quietly connect the wrong
account. Rheos shows a short dialog before sending you over: Open X logout, sign out,
come back, then Continue to X and sign into the account you actually want.
When a connection expires
Most networks issue credentials that expire. Rheos renews what it can, and asks you to reconnect only where the network makes that unavoidable.When a connection needs attention
Every account shows one status, and the section header agrees with it:- A green dot, Connected — nothing to do.
- Expires in N days — from 14 days before a connection Rheos can’t renew for you runs out. That means Facebook, and LinkedIn without a refresh token. The section header goes amber with a count, such as “1 needs attention”.
- Expired or Reconnect needed — publishing to that account has stopped until you reconnect.
