Reconnect A Social Profile
Connections between Statusbrew and your social profiles require access tokens which can expire, and you will need to reconnect your account under the following usual circumstances:
If the username or password of the social account is changed
Changing your social account username or the password will result in that social network removing Statusbrew's access to your account because the original credentials that were used to authenticate the account no longer exist. Always reconnect your profiles/pages to Statusbrew immediately after you make any updates to your username or password.
If the life span of the access token expires
The access tokens usually have a lifetime of about 60 days for most social media networks. If the life span of the access token expires, it will result in the loss of the access token, and your account will need to be reconnected at that point.
If Statusbrew's access to the social network has been revoked
Each social network has settings where third-party apps can be granted authorization to access your account. If Statusbrew's access is revoked or altered, this will result in the loss of the access token, and your account is disconnected.
Below you will find links to the area within each social network where third-party apps can be granted authorization:
If a social media profile gets disconnected, any queued and scheduled posts will fail to publish until the page is reconnected.
