Connect an X account

Connect an X profile to Hootsuite to manage it from the same place as your other social media accounts. When you connect an X account to Hootsuite, you can publish to it, engage with your audience, create reports, and more.

To connect social accounts to Hootsuite organizations, you must be an organization Super Admin, Admin, or have a custom organization permission to Connect social accounts or Manage social accounts. Social accounts can only be connected to one organization, but they can be shared with multiple teams. Learn more about managing your organization's social accounts.
