Connect your channels

There are two lists, they do different jobs, and connecting one never connects the other. This is the single most common confusion in the whole product.

1. 1
   Connect the required data sources

   The required list is short and marked. Everything else can wait, and you can add sources months later without redoing anything.

2. 2
   Authorise in the tab that opens

   Each connection opens that service's own authorisation in a new tab. Come back afterwards and the checklist updates.

3. 3
   Grant publishing permission on socials

   This is the one to get right. A social account connected without publishing permission looks connected and then fails at the publish step, which you only discover the first time you try to post.

4. 4
   Continue, or skip

   Continue to dashboard appears once the required sources are connected. Skip for now works regardless and loses nothing.
