Reconnect a social account to Impact
Trouble with your Impact data? This may happen when a social or website analytics account disconnects. To fix this, reconnect your accounts.
Hootsuite Impact connects to social and website analytics accounts using access tokens granted by each platform. These tokens may expire or require reconnection for different reasons such as software updates or password changes. Learn more about why accounts disconnect.
When an account disconnects, a banner will appear to let you know that there are connections you need to resolve. The last user who connected the account to Impact will also receive an email directing them to sign in to Impact and resolve the connection.
