Why Instagram/Facebook Account Connections Are Needed in Juicer
When setting up a social feed in Juicer, you might notice that posts can appear even before connecting your Instagram or Facebook account. That initial preview is intentional: it helps you quickly visualize how your feed will look and speeds up the onboarding process.
However, to continue fetching and reliably displaying posts over time, connecting your Instagram and/or Facebook account is required. Here’s why:
API access and permissions: Instagram and Facebook restrict how third-party tools fetch content. A connected account grants the necessary permissions for ongoing, compliant access.
Stability and continuity: Previews are a one-time snapshot. A connection enables regular refreshes so your feed stays current without manual intervention.
Content scope and accuracy: Account connections ensure Juicer retrieves posts from the correct profiles, pages, and hashtags, reducing mismatches or missing content.
Compliance and security: Using authenticated connections aligns with platform policies, protects user data, and avoids disruptions due to rate limits or policy changes.
In short, previews make setup fast, but ongoing, dependable fetching requires linking your IG/FB account. Once connected, Juicer can keep your feed up to date automatically and securely.
