# Onboarding Step 6: Connect Socials (/docs/projects/onboarding-social)



This step has exactly two connect buttons: **TikTok** and **Instagram**.
YouTube, X, and LinkedIn are not wired up in this flow.

## Flow [#flow]

1. Click **TikTok** or **Instagram** — an OAuth popup opens.
2. Grant the requested scopes; pick the account if the platform exposes
   multiple.
3. 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`).
4. Connect another if you want (e.g. a second IG handle). When ready,
   click **Continue**.

## Skipping [#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](/docs/projects/settings-social-accounts).

## Instagram requirements [#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 [#managed-accounts]

Separate from this OAuth flow, Layers also supports
[managed accounts](/docs/projects/settings-managed-accounts) — handles
Layers operates for you — but those are provisioned by a Layers CSM,
not via this wizard step.
