HCE Marketing Bot

Social media publishing automation for authorized accounts.

HCE Marketing Bot is a social media content management and publishing tool from Helio Centric. It helps users prepare their own video content and publish it to social media accounts that have been explicitly authorized by their owners or administrators. Every account is connected by its owner or administrator through the platform's own sign-in and authorization screens, and authorization can be revoked at any time.

About

What HCE Marketing Bot is

HCE Marketing Bot is a content management and publishing tool for social media. It lets a user prepare a video once and publish it to the accounts they are authorized to manage, instead of repeating the same manual upload steps on every platform.

Authorized accounts only

An account can only be used once its owner or administrator connects it through the platform's official authorization flow. HCE Marketing Bot never asks for, receives, or stores platform passwords.

Your own content

Users publish video content they created or otherwise hold the rights to publish. HCE Marketing Bot does not scrape, download, harvest, or repost other people's content.

Minimum access needed

The application requests only the permissions required to provide its publishing features. It does not request access to private messages, follower data, advertising accounts, or unrelated platform data.

Control stays with the owner

Authorization is granted by the account owner or administrator and can be withdrawn by them at any time, directly on the platform or from within the application.

How it works

Four steps, all initiated by the user

Nothing happens on a user's behalf until they have connected an account and submitted content. The workflow below describes the intended product; some integrations are still being built.

  1. Connect an authorized account

    The user signs in on the platform's own website and grants permission there. HCE Marketing Bot receives an access token from the platform — never a password — and uses it only to carry out the publishing actions the user requests.

  2. Provide your own video content

    The user supplies the video file along with the details that go with it, such as a caption and any publishing options the platform exposes. The user is responsible for holding the rights to everything they submit.

  3. HCE Marketing Bot prepares the content

    The application organizes the video and its accompanying details into the format each connected platform expects, so the same piece of content can be sent to more than one destination without being reassembled by hand.

  4. Publish through official platform integrations

    The user publishes the prepared content through the platform's official API, where such an integration is available and has been approved for use. HCE Marketing Bot does not automate a browser, imitate a mobile app, or work around platform interfaces.

Authorization & control

Revoking access

Authorization can be withdrawn at any time by the account owner or administrator, without needing our involvement.

Revoke on the platform

Each platform provides a settings screen listing the applications connected to an account. Removing HCE Marketing Bot there immediately ends our ability to act on that account.

Disconnect in the application

A connected account can also be disconnected from within HCE Marketing Bot, which discards the stored access token for that account.

Request deletion

Users may ask us to delete the data associated with their account. See the Privacy Policy for how to make that request and what it covers.

Planned integrations

Platforms we intend to support

Each integration below is planned and subject to the relevant platform's review and approval. None of these platforms endorses, certifies, sponsors, or is affiliated with HCE Marketing Bot or Helio Centric.

TikTok
Sign-in and account authorization, and publishing video content to the authorized account through TikTok's official content posting API. Integration is planned and not yet live; this website supports our developer application for that access.
Instagram
Publishing video content to an authorized Instagram account through the official API. Planned.
Facebook Pages
Publishing video content to an authorized Facebook Page through the official API. Planned.
Current status
HCE Marketing Bot is in development. A platform integration is enabled only after that platform has approved our access, and until then no content is published through it.
For platform reviewers

Summary of our use case

This section gathers, in one place, the information a developer platform reviewer typically needs.

What it does
A social media content management and publishing tool. Users prepare their own video content and publish it to accounts explicitly authorized by their owners or administrators.
Why platform authorization is needed
Publishing a video to an account requires an access token issued by the platform after the account owner or administrator signs in and grants permission. Without that authorization the application cannot publish.
