Four publication formats
Post, single photo, photo album, and story. The format is selected in the project; each has its own platform method.
Autoposting to VKontakte
Posts, photo albums, and stories in communities
The VKontakte platform publishes via a community access key that you create yourself in the group settings. Wall posts, photos, albums, and stories are available — to a community or a personal page.
Platform capabilities for this channel
Bulk community connection
Keys can be pasted as a list — twenty to thirty groups at a time. The community name and avatar are fetched immediately; this is the key verification.
Long posts
The post limit is 16,384 characters: more than enough for news and in-depth materials.
Photo caption
The post title goes into the photo caption, not a text excerpt: the text itself is published as a post.
Community or personal page
The same project can publish to a group or a personal page — the platform methods for this are different, and the platform selects the appropriate one.
Platform limits
- Post length
- 16,384 characters
- Title
- 220 characters
- Images per post
- up to 10
- Text markup
- plain text
- Image formats
- JPG, PNG, GIF
Limits are based on the platform requirements. The platform does not truncate text beyond the limit: the post is rejected before publication with a clear reason, so an incomplete thought never reaches the channel.
Connection requirements
- A community access key created in your group settings. The platform does not request access to your personal page.
- For stories — a vertical image 1080×1920 and short text: the platform accepts no more than 200 characters.
Connection steps
- 1Open your group settings and create a community access key.
- 2Paste the key in the "Accounts" section — you can paste several lines at once.
- 3Make sure the community name appears below the field.
- 4Create a project, select the publication format, and set a schedule.
FAQ
How many communities can be connected?
As many as needed: one key per community, the number of connected communities is not limited by the plan.
Community key or VK ID login?
Publishing works via a community key, which you create yourself. VK ID login is a separate way to obtain keys programmatically; it is not required.
What should I do if the key stops working?
Click "Check" in the account card: the platform will re-query the site and update the name, avatar, and subscriber count, or show the reason for refusal.
Set up autoposting to VKontakte
