Will using Postly get my account banned?

Short answer: No. Postly publishes through official, platform-approved APIs (e.g., Instagram Graph API by Meta, LinkedIn Marketing API, X API v2, YouTube Data API, TikTok Business APIs, etc.). We never ask for your password or use unofficial methods.

If an account is ever flagged, common causes are:

  • It was previously connected to an unofficial tool or automation app.
  • There were rapid bursts of actions (posting/liking/following) across tools or devices.
  • A recent password, role/page, or token change caused a temporary session conflict.
  • Platform policy requirements weren’t met (e.g., Instagram requires a Business/Creator account connected to a Facebook Page for API publishing).

To stay safe:

  1. Use Postly as your only scheduler; disconnect other apps or browser extensions that ask for credentials.
  2. Reconnect accounts via the official OAuth flow if you change passwords, page roles, or permissions.
  3. Avoid running multiple tools on the same account simultaneously.
  4. Match the platform's required account type (e.g., Instagram Business/Creator + Facebook Page).

If you were flagged:

  1. Remove any unofficial apps from your account settings.
  2. Wait a short window (often 24–48 hours) for sessions to normalize.
  3. Reconnect in Postly using the official OAuth prompt.
  4. Resume with normal posting cadence and avoid rapid bursts of activity.
