Connect your social media accounts to Ivorey™
Important note: Ivorey™ supports connecting multiple social accounts for managing your own business and personal brand. It’s not designed for managing social media on behalf of external clients, as all connected accounts and DMs live inside one shared workspace. Adding clients as members can expose sensitive business data. Features like post approvals are intended for internal collaboration only, such as reviewing content created by your own team.
Connecting Your Social Accounts
Connecting your social accounts inside of Ivorey allows you to post across multiple channels, engage directly with your audience and assess statistics all in one place.
