Onboarding Step 6: Connect Socials
Connect Instagram and TikTok. Optional; skippable.
This step has exactly two connect buttons: TikTok and Instagram. YouTube, X, and LinkedIn are not wired up in this flow.
Flow
- Click TikTok or Instagram — an OAuth popup opens.
- Grant the requested scopes; pick the account if the platform exposes multiple.
- The connected account appears in the list below. Internally, the
wizard also provisions the per-account onboarding layer (Social
Distribution, Social Engagement, Account Health Monitor, plus a
Social Content layer wired through
LAYER_TEMPLATE_IDS.SOCIAL_ACCOUNT_ONBOARDING_SYSTEM). - Connect another if you want (e.g. a second IG handle). When ready, click Continue.
Skipping
If no account is connected, the Continue button reads Skip for now and opens a confirmation dialog before advancing. You can connect social accounts later from Project settings → Social accounts.
Instagram requirements
Your Instagram needs to be a Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page. You sign in via Meta Login and grant access to the Page
- Instagram.
Managed accounts
Separate from this OAuth flow, Layers also supports managed accounts — handles Layers operates for you — but those are provisioned by a Layers CSM, not via this wizard step.
