In instances when the social connections you want to monitor in Meltwater are not managed by a Meltwater user, share a secure link that streamlines the authentication process.
This is great for agencies that need to monitor or run specific social accounts that do not have ownership over them. Send a shareable link and have the social accounts connected instantly.
