Post to X as a Brand Account
Publish to X as a brand handle rather than the developer account that owns your API keys. Click Connect on the X channel, approve the app in a browser signed in to the account you want, and the tokens stay on this device.

Why you need this
How it changes your marketing workflow
X's developer console hands you an access token for the account that owns the app, which is usually a personal or developer login, not the brand handle you actually want to post from. Getting a token for a different account normally means running an OAuth flow yourself. The X channel's Connect button does that flow for you: sign in to the brand account in your browser, approve the app, and 1MarketingTool stores the resulting tokens locally.
How it works
From open to result in a few steps
Set up the X app
In console.x.com, set App permissions to Read and write and add http://127.0.0.1:53682/callback as a Callback URI.
Paste the consumer keys
Copy Consumer Key and Consumer Key Secret from Keys & Tokens → OAuth 1.0 Keys into the X channel and save. The Access Token fields are optional.
Click Connect
Open the link in a browser already signed in to the account you want to post as, and approve the app.
Test the connection
Test connection should show that account's @handle. To post as the app owner instead, you can still paste a generated access token.
