Sign-in and permissions

How sign-in works

OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration. Your AI app never gets your Ghostedit or social media passwords. Ghostedit signs in to each platform through the platform's own official login.

What you allow

Two permissions, shown on the Allow page: read (see your accounts, queued posts, post stats and automation stats, and check a post before it goes out) and schedule (schedule, plan, move and cancel posts, and set up and pause Instagram DM automations). You also tick which of your accounts this AI app may use. It can't see or post to the others.

Approvals

Set any account to "Approve AI posts" and everything an AI schedules there waits for your OK in Ghostedit. No tool can approve a post: only you can, in the app.

Confirmations in Claude

Tools that only read run without asking. Tools that post, move, cancel or change an automation are marked as changes, so Claude asks you before each one.

Removing access

In Ghostedit, open Settings, then Connections, and press Disconnect next to the AI app. Or remove Ghostedit from your AI app's connector settings.

Tools

Reads only looks. Changes posts or changes something, so Claude asks first.

Limits

Plans

Free covers 1 account per platform and 30 posts a month. Paid plans start at $19 a month. See pricing.

Platforms

Instagram (business and creator accounts), TikTok, YouTube, Threads, LinkedIn (personal profiles), Bluesky and Mastodon. DM automations are Instagram only.

Videos

Your AI passes a public link to the video. Every post is checked against the platform's length, size, shape and caption limits first, and a post that would fail is not queued.

Privacy defaults

New TikTok and YouTube posts go out as private unless you ask for public, so nothing goes live by surprise.

Troubleshooting

Your AI says it can't post

Ghostedit isn't on in this chat. Turn it on from the chat's tools menu.

"Needs authentication" or "Connect" in your AI app

Click it and press Allow again. Sign in with the same login you use on ghostedit.ai.

A platform signed you out

Instagram, TikTok and the others end app sessions now and then for security, like after a password change. Open Accounts in Ghostedit and press Reconnect.

"Not queued, duplicate"

That video was already sent to that account. Ask again and say you want it posted again.

"Not queued, this post would fail"

The check found a problem the platform would reject, like a video that's too long. The message says what to fix.
