How to check your third-party apps
Before using the platform, your social accounts will need to be linked.
Your social accounts login information or passwords are safer because they are 'tokenized' allowing InfoAlerts to send posts to your account securely. InfoAlerts is considered a Third-Party App. So, what is a third-party app? In the most literal sense, it’s anything you’ve given permission to connect to, access or collect data from your social media accounts.
Remain vigilant about your entire landscape of social media.
If your social media accounts are managed by more than one person, you should regularly audit your channels and check on these settings. Find out how to check your third-party apps on each of the major platforms:
