A social media account ("account" in short) in Xperience represents one of the following:

- [Facebook page](#adding-a-facebook-page)
- [Twitter channel](#adding-a-twitter-channel) (also referred to as user)
- [LinkedIn company profile](#adding-a-linkedin-company-profile)

Before you add an account, [connect Xperience to the given social media](https://docs.kentico.com/13/integrating-3rd-party-systems/integrating-social-media/connecting-xperience-to-social-media.md) by means of an app.

You add accounts and assign them to [apps](https://docs.kentico.com/13/integrating-3rd-party-systems/integrating-social-media/connecting-xperience-to-social-media.md) to enable posting to the accounts.
