How to connect Dribbble to Postozo

Sign in with Dribbble and start scheduling. This guide shows each screen in Postozo, what Dribbble asks for, and how to fix common errors.

Part of the connection guides. Screenshots show Postozo with placeholder names like "Your Page". The Dribbble screens themselves are described in words.

What you need before you start

  • A Dribbble account that can upload shots.
  • Shot images of exactly 400 x 300 or 800 x 600 pixels.

Dribbble uses a sign-in button (called OAuth). You never share your Dribbble password with Postozo.

Connect Dribbble step by step

Step 1. Open Add Channel

Sign in to Postozo. On the Calendar, press Add Channel at the top of the channel list. A window opens with a tile for every network. Find the Dribbble tile and press it. Each tile also has a How to connect link that opens this guide.

The Add Channel window. The Dribbble tile is marked.

If the tile says Coming soon on this server, the server you use has not added its Dribbble app keys yet. Ask the person who runs your Postozo server. On postozo.com this is done for you.

Step 2. Sign in on Dribbble

Postozo sends you to Dribbble to sign in. This screen belongs to Dribbble, so we cannot show it here. What you will see:

  1. Dribbble opens and asks you to sign in.
  2. Dribbble asks if Postozo may upload shots for you. Press Authorize.

You never type your Dribbble password into Postozo. Dribbble sends you back with a sign-in that Postozo stores encrypted.

Dribbble connects 1 account per sign-in, so there is no list to pick from. You go straight back to the Calendar.

Step 3. Check the new channel

Back on the Calendar, the new channel shows in the channel list on the left, with a small Dribbble badge on its picture. A message at the bottom says it is connected. You can now pick it in the post editor.

Step 4. Set your preferences

Press the 3 dots next to the channel to open its menu. From here you can set Preferences (default settings for every new post on this channel, like Shot title, Tags, Low profile), edit time slots, move the channel to a customer, reconnect, turn it off or delete it.

How to reconnect

A sign-in can stop working, for example when you change your Dribbble password, remove the app on Dribbble, or lose access to a account. Postozo then marks the channel with a warning, pauses its posts, and tells you by notification and email.

  1. Press the 3 dots next to the channel.
  2. Press Reconnect channel.
  3. Sign in on Dribbble again with the same account.
  4. You are back on the Calendar and the warning is gone.

Reconnect keeps the channel, its posts, time slots and preferences. If you sign in with a different account, Postozo stops and tells you, so posts never go to the wrong account.

How to disconnect Dribbble

Press the 3 dots next to the channel, then Delete. Postozo removes the channel and deletes its stored sign-in right away. Upcoming and draft posts for that channel are removed too. Posts that are already live stay on Dribbble. You need the admin or owner role in your workspace to delete a channel.

To also remove Postozo from your Dribbble account, open the connected apps settings on Dribbble and remove it there. See Dribbble help center.

Want to pause instead? Choose Disable Channel in the same menu. Its posts wait until you turn it back on.

What you can post on Dribbble
