Connect X

What you need before connecting your X account.

Preview. Integrations are in early access. Approved actions are rehearsed and nothing is posted to a live account yet.

Before you start

  • An X developer account with a project and app. Turn on OAuth 2.0 as a confidential client.
  • The callback URL shown in WakeHand's connect screen, added to the app's settings.
  • A small credit balance on the X developer account. X bills API use by credits, so set a cycle cap and leave auto-recharge off.
  • If a person assists with the posts, mark the brand account as an automated account in X settings.

What WakeHand asks for

For publishing: read and write posts, read users, and offline access so the connection can refresh. Direct messages are requested only if you turn them on.

How long a connection lasts

Access tokens last about two hours and refresh on their own. If a refresh ever fails, the connection shows as expired and you reconnect.

Ads

The X Ads API is a separate programme that X allow-lists. It is off until X approves your app.
