Once you have enrolled as a Yozobi Inbox customer you will be sent a unique link that will enable you to connect your social media accounts.
You must await an email from us with the subject Yozobi Inbox Social Activation Link.
Example link: https://oauth.yozobi.com/?id=1a2b3c4d5e6f7a8b9c0
It is recommended that you paste the link that we email you in to a Private Browsing or Incognito browser window, so that you are not logged in to any social media accounts before the next step.

You can revoke Yozobi Inbox's access to your Twitter account at any time by visiting https://twitter.com/settings/sessions
