Managing Social Media Account Connections

This is a tutorial for managing the social media accounts that are connected to your school's Bound account for auto-posts.

Updated over a week ago

You can manage which social media accounts you have connected to Bound by following these instructions:

Step 1: From your school's homepage, click on the Promote tab on the left sidebar.

Step 2: Click on Social from the left side drawer

Step 3: You will now see any Posting Setups that you have created. Click Social Media Accounts from the menu bar.

Step 4: You will now see a list of all social media accounts you have connected to Bound.

  • Manage Twitter Accounts

Twitter accounts can have 1 Posting Setup per account. If you select the Twitter account from the Social Media Accounts screen it will take you to the Posting Setup that is connected to your Twitter Account.

To Delete the Twitter Account simply delete the Posting Setup and the account connection will be removed from Bound.

  • Manage Facebook Accounts

Due to changes made to Facebook, Instagram, and Meta (company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and other services), Facebook accounts work differently than Twitter.

From the Social Media Accounts screen you can click on an existing Facebook account (also known as a Facebook Business Account).

This will take you to a page where you can edit the title you want to give to this Facebook Business Account, review existing Facebook pages that are tied to this Facebook Business Account, review or create a Posting Setup for a Facebook Page, or delete the social media account connection to Bound. If you delete the account from bound this will also delete any existing Posting Setups tied to this Facebook Business Account.
