Connect Bluesky

Post straight to Bluesky with an app password: links, @mentions, hashtags, images with alt text, long text as a thread.

Updated:

Bluesky needs no sign-in window: you enter your handle and an app password created in Bluesky. Never enter your account's real password – Sayweek refuses it anyway.

Create an app password

In the Bluesky app or on bsky.app: Settings → Privacy and security → App passwords → Add App Password. Name it “Sayweek”, click Create and copy the xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx password. Don't allow access to direct messages.

Connect

  1. Open Settings → Brands & channels.
  2. In the How Sayweek publishes – connected accounts area, click + Connect account.
  3. In the Which account do you want to connect? window, choose Bluesky.
  4. In the Connect a Bluesky account window, enter your handle (e.g. name.bsky.social) under Handle and the password under App password.
  5. Click Connect.
  6. On the Bluesky card, click Put to use (1) and add the account to a new or existing brand.

What Sayweek can do with Bluesky

  • 300 characters per post; longer text goes out as a thread of up to 10 parts – the post editor shows a preview.
  • Working links, @mentions and #hashtags; images can get alt text.
  • Likes, reposts and replies on the Analytics page.
  • Delete a published post in the post editor with Delete from the platform.

Disconnect

  1. Open Settings → Brands & channels and expand the How Sayweek publishes – connected accounts area.
  2. On the Bluesky card, click Remove under the account and confirm. Its channels then stop posting.
