PostozoHow to connect VK to Postozo
Sign in with VK and start scheduling. This guide shows each screen in Postozo, what VK asks for, and how to fix common errors.
What you need before you start
- A VK account.
- To post as a community: admin rights in that community. You enter the community ID per post in the editor, or as a default in Preferences.
VK uses a sign-in button (called OAuth). You never share your VK password with Postozo.
Connect VK 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 VK tile and press it. Each tile also has a How to connect link that opens this guide.
If the tile says Coming soon on this server, the server you use has not added its VK app keys yet. Ask the person who runs your Postozo server. On postozo.com this is done for you.
Step 2. Sign in on VK
Postozo sends you to VK to sign in. This screen belongs to VK, so we cannot show it here. What you will see:
- VK ID opens and asks you to sign in.
- VK lists the permissions (your wall and photos). Press Allow.
You never type your VK password into Postozo. VK sends you back with a sign-in that Postozo stores encrypted.
VK 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 VK 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 Community ID), edit time slots, move the channel to a customer, reconnect, turn it off or delete it.
Common errors and how to fix them
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| "VK sign-in did not include a device id" | This is a server setup issue. Ask the server admin to check the VK redirect address in Admin, Networks. |
| VK asks for a captcha | Post once by hand on vk.com, wait a few minutes, then retry. |
| "You cancelled the sign-in, or did not allow access" | You pressed Cancel or closed the VK screen. Press Try again and choose Allow. |
| "VK did not give Postozo every permission it needs" | A permission was turned off on the VK screen. The message names it. Press Try again and leave everything turned on. |
| "This sign-in link has expired" | Sign-in links last 1 hour. Start again from Add Channel. |
| "Your plan allows N channels" | You reached the channel limit of your plan. Remove a channel you do not use, or upgrade in Billing. |
How to reconnect
A sign-in can stop working, for example when you change your VK password, remove the app on VK, or lose access to a account. Postozo then marks the channel with a warning, pauses its posts, and tells you by notification and email.
- Press the 3 dots next to the channel.
- Press Reconnect channel.
- Sign in on VK again with the same account.
- 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 VK
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 VK. You need the admin or owner role in your workspace to delete a channel.
To also remove Postozo from your VK account, open the connected apps settings on VK and remove it there. See VK ID documentation.
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 VK

Questions
Can I post in a VK community?
Yes. Add the community ID in the post settings, or set it once in Preferences so every post goes there.
Can I post video?
Not yet. VK posts can have text and up to 10 photos.
Does connecting VK cost extra?
No. There is no extra charge per network. Each connected account counts as 1 channel toward the channel limit of your plan.
What if the VK tile says Coming soon on this server?
The server you use has no VK app keys yet. The server admin adds them in Admin, Networks.
