Connect Social Media Accounts

The Social Media Profile Management in Christiani.AI allows you to organize and manage multiple sets of social media accounts. With this feature, you can maintain different social media presences separately – perfect for different brands, clients, or separating business and personal accounts.

Important to know: Each profile can connect a maximum of one account per platform (one Instagram account, one LinkedIn account, one Facebook account, and one Twitter/X account).

Why Social Media is Critical for Your Business Success:

• Build Trust: Regular valuable content positions you as an expert

• Build Relationships: Direct dialogue with potential customers creates personal connections

• Visibility: Algorithms reward active profiles with greater reach

• Lead Generation: Authentic content leads to qualified inquiries

• Brand Building: Consistent presence shapes your professional reputation

Why Use Multiple Profiles?

The ability to create multiple profiles gives you maximum flexibility in your social media management:

Limit: A maximum of 3 profiles can be created per Christiani.AI account.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Access Social Media Profile Management

You can access profile management through multiple paths:

• Dashboard: "Edit Business Settings" → "Social Media Profiles"

• Sidebar: "My Data" → "Social Media Profiles"

• Social Media Expert: Click "Social Media Profiles" in the bottom right

2. Create a New Profile

How to create a new profile:

1. Click "Add New Profile" in the header of the page

2. Enter a descriptive profile name (e.g., "Main Business", "Client XY", or "Personal Brand")

3. Click "Create Profile"

4. After creation, a popup window automatically opens to connect social media platforms

💡 Tip for Profile Names: Choose a name that immediately tells you what this profile is for. This is especially important when switching between different profiles.

Best Practices for Profile Naming:

✅ Good:

Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting

❓ Which platforms should I prioritize?

Decision based on target audience:

*TikTok integration planned

💡 Recommendation for beginners: Start with 1-2 platforms and master these before expanding. Quality over quantity!

❓ Why can't I create a fourth profile?

Problem: The "Add New Profile" button is grayed out or an error message appears.

Solution: Per Christiani.AI account, the number is limited to 3 profiles. If you need more profiles, you must first delete an existing profile.

Background: The limit ensures that profile management remains clear and prevents confusion when switching between profiles.

❓ The popup window for connecting doesn't open

Problem: Nothing happens after clicking "Manage" or when creating a profile.

Solution:

1. Check browser settings:

   • Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Site Settings → Popups

   • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Permissions → Block Popups

   • Safari: Settings → Websites → Popups

2. Allow popups for christiani.ai

3. Alternative browser: Try Chrome, Firefox, or Edge

4. Disable extensions: Temporarily disable adblockers or privacy extensions

5. Clear browser cache: Settings → Clear browsing data

❓ Why don't I see the order buttons?

Problem: The "Move Up" (↑) and "Move Down" (↓) buttons are not displayed.

Solution: These buttons only appear when you have created more than one profile. With only one profile, sorting is not necessary.

❓ Can I delete the last profile?

Problem: The delete button (🗑) is not available.

Solution: You need at least one profile to use social media features. The last remaining profile cannot be deleted for this reason.

Workaround: If you want to start with a "clean slate," disconnect all platform connections in the last profile, but don't delete the profile itself.

❓ What happens to already published posts when I delete a profile?

Answer:

• ✅ Already published posts remain on the respective social media platforms

• ❌ However, you can no longer manage or edit them through Christiani.AI

• ⚠️ Scheduled but not yet published posts are canceled

• 💡 Recommendation: Export or backup important scheduled posts before deleting a profile

❓ Can I connect a social media account to multiple profiles?

Answer: No, each social media account can only be connected to one profile.

Example: If you connected your Instagram account @mybusiness to profile "Main Business," you cannot additionally connect it to profile "Client XY."

Solution for multiple accounts of the same platform:

• Create multiple profiles (max. 3)

• Connect different Instagram/LinkedIn/Facebook accounts to different profiles

• Example: Profile 1 → @business_account, Profile 2 → @personal_brand

❓ How do I change which profile is used as default?

Solution:

1. Use the order buttons (↑ Move Up / ↓ Move Down)

2. Move the desired profile to the first position

3. The top profile automatically becomes the default profile (green [Default] badge)

4. This is automatically preselected for new posts

Tip: Place the profile you use most frequently at the top.

❓ The connection to a platform has expired

Problem: You receive an error message that the connection is no longer valid or see a red status indicator.

Solution steps:

1. Refresh: Click the Refresh icon (⟳) next to the affected profile

2. Reconnect: If that doesn't help:

   • Click Manage (⚙)

   • Disconnect the platform connection

   • Reconnect the platform with your current credentials

3. Check permissions: Verify in the settings of the respective platform whether Christiani.AI still has access

4. Contact support: If the problem persists, use the Live Chat Bubble

Common causes:

• Platform password was changed
