If you’re using an SJP DaaS (Device as a Service) device and struggling to connect your social media accounts to Halio, this is likely due to device-level restrictions rather than an issue with Halio itself.
Some Partners and Advisers find that AI-supported platforms and social media authorisation flows are automatically blocked on DaaS devices for security and compliance reasons. This can prevent social accounts from connecting successfully, even when all login details are correct.
What’s happening?
On SJP DaaS devices:
Certain AI tools and third-party platforms may be restricted
Social media authorisation pop-ups can be blocked
Login redirects required to connect accounts may fail or time out
As a result, Halio may not be able to complete the connection process for your social accounts on that device.
The simple workaround
The good news is this is easy to resolve.
Log in to Halio on a non-SJP device
(for example, a personal laptop, home computer, or non-DaaS work device)Connect your social media account(s) to Halio as normal
Once connected, you can return to your DaaS device and continue using Halio without any issues
You only need to do this once per social account. After the initial connection, everything will continue to work as expected on your DaaS device.
Will this affect scheduled or approved posts?
No.
Once your accounts are connected:
Scheduling works as normal
Approved content will post as expected
You can continue creating, editing, and approving content on your DaaS device
Do I need IT approval?
In most cases, no.
This workaround avoids the need for any changes to your DaaS device settings or permissions.
