Connect

Snapchat

SocialOAuthSnapchat developer docs ↗

Snapchat connects through the Snap Marketing API. You authorize Modiva to manage Stories and Snaps on your behalf.

Before you start

A Snapchat account with access to the features you intend to manage.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Modiva
Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.
The Modiva dashboard — your home for connections, posts and analytics.
2
Open Connections → New connection
In the left sidebar choose Connections, then click New connection. You'll see the full catalogue of platforms grouped by category (Social and Ads).
The connection picker. Use the search box or category filter to find your platform.
3
Select Snapchat
Click the Snapchat card. Modiva redirects you to Snapchat's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on Snapchat, never on Modiva.
Click Connect on the Snapchat card to start the secure OAuth flow.
4
Authorize Modiva on Snapchat
Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.
Snapchat's consent screen. Approve the requested scopes to continue.
5
You're connected
Snapchat now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.
A healthy connection shows a green dot and the connected account name.

Permissions Modiva requests

When you connect Snapchat, Modiva asks only for the access it needs to run the tools you use. You can revoke it any time from Snapchat or by disconnecting in Modiva.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Where is my Snapchat password stored?

Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.

My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?

Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.

How do I disconnect?

Open Connections, click the Snapchat row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside Snapchat's own app settings.
