Botdoor Docs

Social accounts

An account is one connected social profile, for example @acmebakery on Instagram. Your bot posts to accounts by their Botdoor id.

Accounts page listing connected accounts with platform, id and status

Connect

Section titled “Connect”

Click Connect account, pick a network and sign in on that network’s own page. Facebook pages, LinkedIn organisations and Pinterest boards are picked there too. Bluesky uses an app password on a small Botdoor page.

Connect dialog with available networks and Soon networks

A bot can’t sign in for you, but it can fetch the link: GET /api/v1/connect/{platform} returns {url} for you to open. See Connect.

Several accounts on one network

Section titled “Several accounts on one network”

You can connect more than one account per network (the dialog says Add another) until your plan’s account total.

Reconnect

Section titled “Reconnect”

If a network stops accepting posts (expired sign-in, removed permission) the account shows Reconnect and posts to it fail with account_needs_reconnection. Click Reconnect, or use GET /api/v1/connect/{platform}?reconnect={zernioAccountId}. You can also get an email; see Email notifications.

Limits

Section titled “Limits”

Solo 3, +$4 each extra Yes

Common questions

Why is X greyed out?
X needs the Solo plan or higher. On Free, connecting X returns plan_feature_unavailable.
Does Botdoor store my network passwords?
No. You sign in on the network's page; the connection is held by our posting provider, Zernio.
I hit plan_limit_reached.
Your plan's account total is used. Disconnect one or upgrade. See Pricing.
Can my bot choose which Instagram account to post to?
Yes. Each account has its own id; put that id in accountIds.
