Browser blocking the connect account window? Allow pop-ups for Repostit

If you click Connect for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, or another social account and nothing opens, your browser may be blocking the authorization window.

Repostit uses a secure window or tab to send you to the social platform’s official login and permission screen. If that window is blocked, the connection cannot finish.

The fix is to allow pop-ups and redirects for Repostit, then try connecting your account again.

Most customers should allow pop-ups for https://app.repostit.io, which is where the Repostit app runs. If your address bar shows https://repostit.io, allow that address too.

1. Go back to Repostit and click Connect again.
2. If you see a blocked pop-up icon in the browser address bar, click it.
3. Choose Always allow pop-ups and redirects from Repostit or Allow for this site.

Only allow pop-ups for Repostit. You do not need to allow pop-ups for every website.

• Try connecting from a private or incognito window with extensions disabled.
• Make sure your browser is up to date.

Quality bar before you rely on this #

Before you treat this as a live Repostit workflow, publish one low-risk test and inspect the result on the connected platforms. A workflow is ready only when the correct source account, destination account, video format, and permission path all match what you expected.

If this is for a client or brand account, write down the source, destination, approval owner, and reason for the workflow. That small note prevents confusion later if someone asks why a post appeared on a specific channel, Page, or profile.
