Connect your social accounts to Loopi — and disconnect them anytime.

Connecting a platform is a one-time login you do yourself — Loopi never sees your password. This walks you through connecting TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Bluesky, and how to disconnect cleanly when you switch accounts or leave an agency.

The play

Four steps. Each one is quick. The only one that requires your personal attention is step three — the login on the platform itself.

Loopi supports TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and Bluesky. Connect as many or as few as you need. Each platform is independent — connecting one does not affect the others.

Why you connect these yourself

The credential is yours. An agency or teammate can build your content calendar, write every caption, and schedule every post — but the OAuth grant that authorizes posting must come from the account owner. The platforms enforce this. It is not a Loopi policy; it is how platform APIs work. Nobody can grant access to a TikTok or Instagram account they do not own, and no one should be able to. This playbook is the companion to the agency setup flow: your agency handles everything up to this step, then hands you a connect link and waits.

What Loopi handles for you

• Stores the token, not your password. Loopi holds the OAuth access token the platform issues after you approve. Your password never touches Loopi's systems.
• Refreshes expiring tokens automatically. Most platform tokens expire after a few weeks. Loopi refreshes them in the background so scheduled posts keep going without you re-connecting.
• Shows live connection status. Connected Apps in your profile settings shows each platform as live or needs connecting at a glance. You can see what is ready before your agent tries to schedule anything.
• Stops posting on revoke. Disconnecting a platform removes Loopi's stored token, so Loopi can no longer post to that account — pending posts to it won't go out. Reconnect later and you're live again.

How to do it with Loopi

If you have an AI agent connected to Loopi over MCP, you can ask it to check your current connection status and return ready-to-click links for anything still missing. The agent cannot log in for you — that step stays in your browser. But it can fetch the exact URL you need so you do not have to navigate the settings yourself.

Paste this prompt to your agent once Loopi MCP is connected:

Use content.getSettings to check which social platforms I have
connected to my Loopi profile.

For each platform that is NOT connected yet (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube,
LinkedIn, Bluesky), call content.getConnectionsUrl and return the
connection link so I can click it and log in.

List the already-connected platforms first so I can confirm they look right,
then list the missing ones with their connect links.

The agent calls content.getSettings to list connected platforms, then calls content.getConnectionsUrl for each missing one and returns the links. You click each link, complete the OAuth login on the platform, and come back. Run the prompt again and the agent confirms everything is live.

Disconnecting

Revoking access is a two-step process if you want a full clean cut. Loopi's revoke is enough to stop all posting. The second step removes the underlying OAuth grant from the platform itself.

1. Revoke in Loopi's Connected Apps. This immediately cancels all posts queued for that platform and removes Loopi's stored token. Loopi stops posting to the account right away. Do this first — it is the fastest way to shut down posting.
2. Remove Loopi from the platform's own security settings. For a complete revoke — for example when leaving an agency relationship — also remove the OAuth grant on the platform side. On Google (for YouTube): myaccount.google.com → Security → Third-party access. On Meta (for Instagram): Business settings → Integrations → Connected apps. On TikTok: Profile → Settings → Manage account → Apps & permissions. This removes the grant at the source so no other system can reuse the token.

Disconnecting does not delete posts that are already published. Content that went live before you revoked stays on the platform as normal. Only future scheduled posts are cancelled.

Switching to a different account

If you want to connect a different TikTok or Instagram account on the same Loopi profile, disconnect the current one first, then reconnect. The OAuth flow always asks you to log in fresh, so you can authorize the new account in the same browser session.
