Enabling & Disabling Accounts

How toggling works

Each connected social account has an enabled/disabled toggle in your Social Accounts settings. When an account is disabled, SocialWhisper will not publish to it, but the connection remains intact. This means you do not need to go through the OAuth flow again when you want to re-enable it.

When to disable an account

Disabling is useful when you want to temporarily pause publishing to a specific platform. For example, you might disable your LinkedIn account while running a campaign focused on Instagram and X. Or you might disable a platform while you update its profile before resuming. Disabling does not affect your other connected accounts.

Effect on content generation

When you generate content, the AI only creates platform-specific text for your enabled accounts. If you disable Instagram, the next post you generate will not include Instagram-optimized text. When you re-enable it, future generations will include Instagram again.

Disabling vs disconnecting

Disabling an account keeps the OAuth connection alive. Disconnecting removes the connection entirely and you would need to re-authorize through OAuth to reconnect. Use disable when you want a temporary pause. Use disconnect only when you no longer need the account at all.
