Integrate Chat33
with your stack.

Tracking pixel, webhook events, MMP install postbacks, and revenue tracking. Everything you need to connect Chat33 to your website or app.

Getting Started

To use the Chat33 developer integrations, you need an MMP Token. Find it in your dashboard at Settings → Integrations.

1. Get your token

Go to Settings → Integrations → MMP Token. Click "Generate Token" if you don't have one.

2. Choose your integration

Website / Web App

Use the Tracking Pixel to track page views, signups, and purchases.

Mobile App

Use MMP Postbacks (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, Tenjin, Singular) to track installs.

Tracking Pixel

Track website events and attribute them to DM conversations

Installation

Add this script tag to your website's <head> or before </body>. Replace YOUR_PIXEL_KEY with the pixel key from Settings, Integrations. Never use your MMP token here: it is a secret.

html
<script src="https://chat33.io/pixel.js" data-token="YOUR_PIXEL_KEY"></script>

Track Events

The pixel auto-tracks page views. To track custom events (purchases, signups, etc.), use the chat33.track() method:

javascript
// Track a purchase with value
chat33.track("purchase", {
  value: 49.99,
  currency: "USD",
  product: "Pro Plan"
});

// Track a signup
chat33.track("signup");

// Track a lead
chat33.track("lead", { source: "landing_page" });

// Track any custom event
chat33.track("tutorial_complete", { step: 5 });

How it works

Smart Links

Chat33 appends ?cid=xxx to tracked links in DMs

Auto-Attribution

The pixel reads the contact ID from the URL and persists it across pages

Auto-Tagging

Events like 'purchase' automatically tag the contact in your CRM

API Reference

MethodParametersDescription

Social Posting API

Schedule and publish content to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Threads

Authentication

Generate an API key in Settings → API Keys. Include it as the x-api-key header in all requests.

bash
# All API requests require this header:
x-api-key: sk_live_your_api_key_here

Supported Platforms

Instagram

Photos, reels, carousels (via IG Graph API)

Facebook

Text, photos, videos with native scheduling

TikTok

Videos and photo posts via Content Posting API

YouTube

Video uploads with native scheduled publishing

X (Twitter)

Text, photos, video, and threads via X API v2 (uses Credits)

LinkedIn

Text, link cards, up to 9 images, or video, posted to the member's own profile

Bluesky

Text, link cards, up to 4 images, or video, via the AT Protocol

Threads

Text, images, video, carousels up to 20, polls and topic tags

Create a Post

bash
curl -X POST "https://chat33.io/api/v1/posts" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "accountIds": ["channel_id_here"],
    "text": "Check out our new product! #launch",
    "mediaUrls": ["https://your-blob-url.com/image.jpg"],
    "mediaType": "image"
  }'

Platform options (platformConfig)

Per-platform settings go under a key named after the platform. Only the keys for platforms in accountIds are read, so one request can carry options for several at once. Every platform takes a text override, so a single post can read differently on each network.

Two behaviours worth knowing before your first call: youtube.madeForKids is rejected if missing rather than defaulted, because YouTube requires the declaration on every upload. And a TikTok post with no consent object lands in the account's drafts instead of publishing.

json
{
  "instagram": {
    "text": "...",                     // caption for this platform only
    "firstComment": "#tags #here"      // posted right after publish
  },
  "facebook": {
    "text": "..."
  },
  "linkedin": {
    "text": "...",
    "visibility": "PUBLIC",            // or "CONNECTIONS" (1st-degree only)

  }
}

LinkedIn specifics

  • Posts publish to the authenticated member's own profile. Company Pages need LinkedIn's Community Management API, which is a separate review, not supported yet.
  • One post carries up to 9 images or 1 video, never both. Over the limit is rejected rather than silently trimmed.
  • Caption caps at 3,000 characters. Video 200MB, images 10MB each.
  • articleUrl only applies to text posts. Media takes precedence and the link is ignored.
  • Access expires after 60 days and LinkedIn issues no refresh token, so the account must be reconnected manually. Publishing returns a clear reconnect error once it lapses.
  • LinkedIn throttles 150 API requests per member per day, and each image costs an extra two calls, so the cap is on requests, not post count.

Schedule a Post

bash
curl -X POST "https://chat33.io/api/v1/posts" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "accountIds": ["ig_channel_id", "fb_channel_id"],
    "text": "Coming soon!",
    "mediaUrls": ["https://your-blob-url.com/video.mp4"],
    "mediaType": "video",
    "scheduledAt": "2026-04-15T14:00:00Z",
    "callbackUrl": "https://your-server.com/webhook"
  }'

Upload Media

Multipart upload is hard-capped at 4.5MB. Larger bodies are rejected with 413 FUNCTION_PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE before reaching the API. For anything bigger, ingest from a public URL, or get a presigned URL and upload straight to storage.

bash
# Small files (< 4.5MB): multipart upload
curl -X POST "https://chat33.io/api/v1/media/upload" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg"

# Large files, already on a public URL: URL ingestion (up to 4GB)
curl -X POST "https://chat33.io/api/v1/media/upload" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/large-video.mp4", "filename": "video.mp4"}'

# Large LOCAL file: presigned direct upload (up to 500MB per PUT)
# 1. ask for an upload URL
curl -X POST "https://chat33.io/api/v1/media/upload-url" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"filename": "video.mp4", "contentType": "video/mp4", "size": 16352652}'
# -> {"uploadUrl": "https://...", "headers": {"content-type": "video/mp4"}, ...}

# 2. PUT the bytes straight to storage (never touches the API)
curl -X PUT "<uploadUrl>" \
  -H "Content-Type: video/mp4" \
  --data-binary @video.mp4
# -> {"url": "https://....public.blob.vercel-storage.com/...", ...}
#    pass that url in mediaUrls when creating the post

Connect your users' accounts

Let your own users connect their Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, or Threads accounts through Chat33, then publish for them via the API

The developer connect API issues a one-time link that sends one of your users to the platform's own OAuth consent screen, on your behalf, without ever touching their password. Once they approve, the connected account behaves like any other in the Social Posting API above — you post to it, read its analytics where the platform provides them, and disconnect it — scoped to the end user ("profile") it belongs to.

How it works

  1. Create a profile for the user (POST /v1/profiles) — or reuse one, keyed on your own externalId.
  2. Request a connect link for that profile and a platform (POST /v1/connect). It's valid once, for 15 minutes.
  3. Send the user to the returned url. They approve on the platform's own screen, which names Chat33 as the app requesting access — that's expected, and nobody sees their password.
  4. They land back on your redirectUrl with status, profileId, and accountIds (or status=error&code=… if they cancelled or something went wrong — a cancelled consent does not spend the link).

Create a profile

bash
curl -X POST "https://chat33.io/api/v1/profiles" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Acme Fitness",
    "externalId": "user_482"
  }'

Create a connect link

bash
curl -X POST "https://chat33.io/api/v1/connect" \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_live_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "profileId": "prof_abc123",
    "platform": "instagram",
    "redirectUrl": "https://yourapp.com/oauth/done",
    "skipIntro": false
  }'
# -> {"url": "https://chat33.io/connect/...", "expiresAt": "...", "platform": "instagram", "profileId": "prof_abc123"}
# send your user to that url
# skipIntro: true returns a url that goes straight to the platform's consent screen

What your user sees

A Chat33-hosted page naming your app, followed by the platform's own login and consent screen — which names Chat33 as the app asking for access, not your app. That's how the underlying OAuth works and is expected. They can revoke access from the platform itself at any time.

To skip the intro page and send your user straight to the platform's consent screen, pass "skipIntro": true when creating the link. The link is then an immediate redirect: the same token, the same 15-minute expiry, the same return to your redirectUrl. If you skip it, tell your user on your own screen that the consent page will name Chat33, and prefer sending them by a button click rather than a link in an email — mail clients and chat apps prefetch links, and a prefetch of a skipIntro link opens the platform's dialog in the scanner (it does not spend the token).

$1 per connection slot per 30 days. A slot is bought from your prepaid Credits the moment an account connects (or ahead of time with Buy slots) and renewed every 30 days while the account stays connected. No pro-rata and no refunds, but a slot freed by a disconnect stays yours until it expires and the next account you connect takes it. If your balance cannot cover a renewal the account keeps working for 7 days while the amount shows as outstanding; after that it pauses until you top up. Paused accounts are not billed.

Rules

  • One real account lives once across all of Chat33 — it cannot be connected a second time, by you or anyone else, whether through the API or the Chat33 dashboard.
  • API-connected accounts never count toward your organization's plan channel limit.
  • Inbound messages and comments on these accounts are not stored or automated by Chat33 (v1 is publish-only).
  • Facebook connects every Page the user grants access to; each Page is its own account and its own slot.
  • Instagram connects through Instagram Login, for business or creator accounts.
  • X posts through connected accounts also draw from your Credits balance, same as posts from your own dashboard accounts.

Paused accounts

An account whose slot stayed unpaid for 7 days is paused: publishing returns 402 account_paused with the affected accountIds; it resumes automatically when you top up. POST /v1/posts, POST /v1/posts/validate, and POST /v1/posts/:id/duplicate all check for this up front, before queuing anything.

json
// 402
{
  "error": "ACCOUNT_PAUSED",
  "code": "account_paused",
  "message": "These accounts are paused until outstanding connection charges are paid. Top up credits.",
  "accountIds": ["chan_abc123"]
}

Enable the scope

Get the connect:write scope: create a key in Settings → API Keys and tick Connect your users' accounts. It is off by default on every key.

MMP Install Postbacks

Track app installs from AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, Tenjin, or Singular

Postback URL

Configure this URL in your MMP dashboard as a postback endpoint. Replace YOUR_SECRET with your MMP Webhook Secret from Settings.

text
https://chat33.io/api/webhooks/mmp?secret=YOUR_SECRET

Supported MMPs

AppsFlyer

Reads event_type, app_id, appsflyer_id, af_sub1/af_sub2 for attribution

Adjust

Reads activity_kind (install, rejected_install, event), label and adid from the callback, GET or POST. For purchase revenue add the revenue_float placeholder (not revenue, which is in cents) and currency

Branch

Reads webhook events (INSTALL, PURCHASE), the device ids in user_data and the creator and post Chat33 adds to the link data

Tenjin

Reads campaign_id, site_id for attribution

Singular

Reads network, source for attribution

Smart Link Setup

Use the Send an app download link step in your flows. It sends iPhone users to the App Store link and Android users to the Google Play link, and counts every tap on your dashboard, per flow. Paste your MMP tracking link (OneLink, Adjust, Branch, Singular or Tenjin) with one campaign name per post, and your MMP reports installs by post. For Chat33 influencer campaigns, the contact and influencer IDs are added to the link automatically.

1

Add the download step

In your flow, add Send an app download link with your MMP tracking links

2

Configure MMP

Set up the postback URL in AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch (a webhook for the Install event), Tenjin or Singular

3

Track installs

Taps per flow in Chat33, installs per campaign in your MMP, install totals on your dashboard

No MMP? Use the stores' campaign links

Apple and Google count installs per campaign for free. Put a campaign name in each store link, one per post, and paste the links into the download step. Installs show up in App Store Connect (App Analytics, Sources, Campaigns) and Play Console (acquisition reports by UTM campaign), about a day later and aggregated.

App Store: generate it in App Store Connect, or build it

text
https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id<APP_ID>?pt=<PROVIDER_TOKEN>&ct=<campaign_name>&mt=8

Google Play: the UTM tags go inside referrer, URL-encoded

text
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<PACKAGE>&referrer=utm_source%3Dchat33%26utm_medium%3Ddm%26utm_campaign%3D<campaign_name>

Step by step: free install tracking without an MMP.

UTM Campaign Link Builder

Generate tracked URLs with UTM parameters for Google Analytics

Tip: Use UTM links in your Chat33 flow messages. When combined with the tracking pixel, you'll see the full journey from DM to conversion in Google Analytics.
