Connecting YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram
Go to Channels → Add channel and pick a platform. You'll be sent to that platform's official login page to grant access — CreatorTrend never sees your password.
What each connection enables
- Sync your content so the AI learns your topics and style.
- Publish scheduled posts from the calendar automatically.
- Measure performance of published posts (views, likes, engagement) where the platform allows it.
Platform notes
- Instagram requires a Business or Creator account (not Personal). You can switch the account type in the Instagram app, then reconnect.
- TikTok posts may go to your TikTok inbox as drafts depending on the app's current permissions — open TikTok to finish posting if so.
- YouTube uploads default to private until you review them.
Fixing an expired connection
Tokens occasionally expire or get revoked when you change your password on the platform. If a channel shows as expired, just click connect again — reconnecting refreshes access without losing any data.
