In order to add a W Social account to Swat.io, it is a prerequisite that the respective account is a public account. Once connected, you can plan and publish posts via the Publisher and optionally manage comments and messages in the Inbox.
Connecting a W Social channel to Swat.io
Info: In order to access the workspace-settings or to add a new channel in Swat.io, you need permissions as “workspace manager”. In case you don’t have this permission, please contact your Swat.io administrator.
To add a W Social profile as a channel to Swat.io, follow these steps:
Open the general "Workspace Settings" by clicking on your account name in the bottom-left corner;
Navigate to the "Channels" section;
Click the "Add Channel" button in the top-right corner;
Scroll down in the "Main channels" section and select "W Social";
In the following pop-up, you will be prompted to enter your W Social handle and the app password. You will also need to agree to the terms of service of both Swat.io and W Social within this pop-up.
Note on app password: Connecting W Social to Swat.io requires an app password - not your regular W Social password. You can create an app password directly in your W Social settings.
The detailed pop-up for the W Social authorization looks as following:
After confirming the data, the integration is complete and your newly added channel will immediately appear in the channel list of the workspace in the Publisher (optionally also in the Inbox). From there, you can start creating your first post right away.
