Getting started
How it works
- Register in the personal account — or install the WordPress plugin / 1C-Bitrix module and sign in there: it is the same account.
- Connect your social network accounts in the "Accounts" section. Instructions for every platform are in Accounts.
- Publish — manually (Posts) or automatically (Automation): entries from your website or an RSS feed go to the selected networks on their own.

Choose how to work
| Way | Choose it if | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Personal account | You need manual posts, a calendar, RSS automation; a CMS is not required | Below on this page |
| WordPress plugin | Your site runs WordPress; you want to publish from the admin panel and automatically | WordPress plugin |
| 1C-Bitrix module | Your site runs "1C-Bitrix: Site Management" | 1C-Bitrix module |
| API | You want to embed publishing in your own service or script | API |
Registration and login in the account
- Open parrotposter.com and go to the login page.
- Click "Signup", enter your name, email and a password (at least 6 characters), tick the consent to the data processing rules and click "Sign up". Or click "Continue with Google" — no separate registration is needed.
- To log in, enter your email and password and click "Log in", or use Google.
- If you forgot your password, click "Forgot password?" — a reset link will be sent to your email.
The same account works in the web app, the plugins and the API.

Integrations
The "Integrations" page has two tabs:
- Sites — sites where the plugin is installed and signed in: they appear here automatically. For each site you can see its status ("Active" or "Disabled") and last activity: "Requests from site" and "Requests to the site". You can disconnect a site (autoposting from it stops, automations are not deleted) or delete it. A disabled site can only be enabled again from the plugin on the site itself — see WordPress. The "Connect site" button starts connecting a new site.
- AI models — your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic or an OpenAI-compatible provider, used for AI-assisted post text.
Settings
"Settings" is split into groups:
- Account — "Profile" (your name) and "Change password".
- Security — "Sessions" (active logins: the web app and plugins on sites; you can end other sessions) and "API tokens" (tokens for scripts and your own integrations; the secret is shown only once — see API: authentication).
- Application — "Posts" (minimum interval between posts in seconds; it does not affect Automation, where the interval is set in the publishing rules) and "Notifications" (email addresses and email types: system, news and promotions, publication errors, support replies).
Plugins vs. the account
The WordPress and 1C-Bitrix plugins show the same interface as the account right inside the site's admin panel: the "Posts", "Accounts", "Tariffs" and (in WordPress) "Automation" pages are the account in an embedded frame. That is why the instructions in this documentation are written once — for the account — and apply to the plugins too.
Only the plugins have:
- installation, sign-in and connecting the site to ParrotPoster;
- the plugin's own settings;
- classic autoposting — WordPress, 1C-Bitrix;
- publishing an entry right from the posts list and the edit screen (WordPress).
Only the account has: ParrotAI, "Support", "Integrations" and the account "Settings" (profile, sessions, API tokens, notifications). If you need one of these, open parrotposter.com and sign in with the same account.
