👣 Steps to connect your social media accounts

  1. Go to the project where you want to connect your profiles, or create a new one.

  2. Click the "+" button in the top right corner and select Data source, or go to the Integrations section in the side menu.

  3. Choose the data source corresponding to the profile you wish to connect.​

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to authorise Welov to access these profiles.​

  5. Repeat this process for any additional profiles you wish to connect.

When connecting a new profile to Welov, an initial data load is performed for the months included in your plan, depending on the data history available for each social network.​

This data load takes time; therefore, we recommend waiting at least 1 hour before extracting data or generating reports. The time may vary depending on the number of profiles connected and the volume of publications, and data may initially appear incomplete.

🔧 Special connection: X (formerly Twitter)

Connecting X (formerly Twitter) profiles to Welov requires additional steps due to the platform’s specific authentication policies. Once you’ve completed the general steps to connect profiles, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to Installed apps and locate the X profiles in the list.

  2. Right-click on the red button that says “Connect via Metricool” and select “Open in incognito window.”

  3. In the new window, log in using the credentials of the X profile you want to connect. Once you see the confirmation message, simply close the Metricool tab.

If you need to connect more profiles, open twitter.com in a new tab, log out of the current session, and repeat the process by logging in with the next profile.

🚀 Start viewing data in Welov
