Don't have a Repurpose.io account? Sign up for free here!




You can connect your Snapchat account in two ways:


  • Option 1: While creating a workflow (recommended if you're setting up a workflow now)
  • Option 2: From the Connections page (recommended if you're prepping accounts ahead of time)


⚠️ Snapchat Spotlight is only available for users who have a Public Profile under an organization. If you don't have it, click here to create yours now.


Option 1: Connect Snapchat During Workflow Creation


  1. Go to the Workflows page and click Create a new workflow (top right).
  2. Choose your workflow type.
  3. Select Snapchat as the source (left-menu) or destination (right-menu).
  4. After selecting, two things can happen depending on your situation:
  • If this is your first time connecting a Snapchat account, you’ll be redirected to Snapchat’s login page.
  • If you’ve already connected Snapchat accounts to Repurpose, a pop-up will appear with a list of those accounts. Just click Add new Snapchat account to connect another one. You’ll be redirected to Snapchat’s login page.


ℹ️ In both cases, if you’re already logged into a Snapchat account on the Snapchat website, you’ll skip the login page and go straight to the authorization page.


  1. On the authorization screen, click Continue to finish connecting your account.


Option 2: Connect Snapchat from the Connections Page


  1. Go to the Connections page from the left side menu.
  2. Click Add a New Connection (top right).
  3. Select Snapchat from the list.
  4. A pop-up will appear where you can optionally edit the connection.
  5. After clicking Connect, two things can happen depending on your situation:
  • If this is your first time connecting a Snapchat account, you’ll be redirected to Snapchat’s login page.
  • If you’ve already connected Snapchat accounts to Repurpose, a pop-up will appear with a list of those accounts. Just click Add new Snapchat account to connect another one. You’ll be redirected to Snapchat’s login page.


ℹ️ In both cases, if you’re already logged into a Snapchat account on the Snapchat website, you’ll skip the login page and go straight to the authorization page.


  1. On the authorization screen, click Continue to finish connecting your account.


Known limitations imposed by Snapchat


  • Vertical videos only up to 5 minutes
  • Letterboxing is not supported


⚠️ Letterboxing means that at least 70% of the vertical video must be actual video (not graphics, background or text).


⚠️ Videos that use letter boxing will publish but give a warning inside Repurpose. These will be visible by you, but will NOT be visible by your followers.






Troubleshooting


If you can't use your Snapchat connection after adding it, or if it's not the account you want to use, we recommend the following steps:


  1. Open a new incognito window
  2. Log in to Snapchat first
  3. Then, log in to Repurpose
  4. Delete the current Snapchat connection and re-add it



FAQ


How does Auto Publish on a Schedule work for Snapchat workflows?

Snapchat workflows work a little differently with Auto Publish based on a schedule. While other platforms are limited to 5 slots per day and publish one video per slot, Snapchat allows up to 10 time slots per day, with each slot publishing 5 videos. The number of videos is fixed and cannot be changed.
