For many of you managing a thriving Bluesky presence, it’s not always a one-person show. Whether you’re a brand working with a social media manager, a creator collaborating with a team member, or an agency handling multiple client accounts, the need for seamless, secure collaboration has always been clear.
Today, we're incredibly excited to announce a powerful new feature designed to make teamwork on Bluesky easier and safer than ever before: SkyPilot Assistant Accounts!
This highly-requested feature is now available for all Premium SkyPilot subscribers, fundamentally changing how you can delegate tasks and share access without ever compromising your security.
What Are Assistant Accounts?
In a nutshell, Assistant Accounts allow Premium users to grant specific permissions to other SkyPilot users, enabling them to:
-
Post on behalf of your connected Bluesky accounts: Your team members or collaborators can draft, schedule, and publish content to your chosen Bluesky profiles.
-
View your account analytics: Give them access to the insights they need to understand performance and inform their content strategy.
-
Maintain complete security: Crucially, your main Bluesky credentials (even your app passwords) remain private and secure. Your assistants never see or need your actual login details.
Imagine empowering your social media manager to handle all your scheduling, or giving a client a view into their Bluesky performance, all within a secure, controlled environment. That's the power of Assistant Accounts.
How It Works: Simple & Secure Collaboration
Setting up an Assistant Account is straightforward and designed with security at its core:
-
Grant Access: As the Premium account holder, you'll generate an invitation link on your Bluesky Accounts page. Each link is associated with one particular account.
-
Share Link: You'll then share this link with your assistant, using email, SMS, Bluesky DM, or another method of your choice.
-
Accept Invitation: Your assistant then clicks the link and signs in to SkyPilot in order to accept the invitation.
-
No Credential Sharing: The magic is that the assistant uses their own SkyPilot login. They never need to know your username or password. This eliminates the risks associated with sharing sensitive login information.
-
Full Control: You retain full control. You can revoke an assistant's access at any time with just a few clicks.
Who Benefits from Assistant Accounts?
-
Brands & Businesses: Empower your marketing team or external agencies to manage your official Bluesky presence without handing over your main login.
-
Content Creators: Work with a VA, editor, or community manager to keep your posting consistent and on-brand.
-
Social Media Agencies: Streamline client management by allowing team members to work on client accounts through SkyPilot, while clients can securely view their own analytics.
-
Collaborators: Easily share posting responsibilities for a joint project or community account.
We built Assistant Accounts because we believe in the power of collaboration, and we know that secure, efficient teamwork is key to sustained growth on social media. This feature adds another layer of professionalism and flexibility to your SkyPilot Premium experience.
