Reauthorize an integration when it asks for permissions again

Updated 2026-08-03

In two lines: if an integration shows Pending permissions, it's resolved with Update permissions; if access has expired (Connection expired), with Reconnect. In both cases you reauthorize in one step and lose nothing of your configuration.

What does "Pending permissions" mean?

When MB Suite adds a new capability to a platform (for example, publishing to a type of account it didn't support before), that feature needs a permission your connection doesn't have yet. Everything you were already using keeps working; only the new feature stays on hold until you reauthorize.

The same applies if access to the platform expired over time: the connection stops bringing in data until you renew it.

How do I recognize it?

  • A Pending permissions chip (in amber) on the platform's card, in Settings > Integrations: new permissions are missing.
  • The card marked as Connection expired: access has expired and needs to be renewed.
  • A notice when you try to use a feature that requires the new permission.

You don't have to spot it on your own. When an expired connection makes a scheduled post fail, we notify the owners and admins of the account: we tell them which network is affected and that upcoming publications will also fail until it's reconnected. We don't repeat it with every failed post, and the notice stops as soon as the reconnected account publishes correctly again. See My post wasn't published.

How do I resolve it?

  • Go to Settings > Integrations and find the platform's card with the notice.
  • If it says Pending permissions, click Update permissions. If it says Connection expired, click Reconnect. The platform's window opens with the permissions that are needed.
  • Confirm the permissions. When you return, your connection is renewed.

Your data sources, the accounts already linked, and the rest of the configuration are kept: renewing access doesn't reset anything.

Google and Meta renew access on their own; LinkedIn and TikTok don't, and can expire over time. If you use those platforms, review their connections every so often. Reauthorizing is always safe: it never erases your configuration.
The use of the integrations and the handling of the data you connect are governed by the Terms and Conditions, which always hold the current version.
