- Separate social accounts for automation
- This keeps your personal accounts clean
3. Monitor Activity
Regularly check:- What actions your AI employees are taking
- If integrations are working correctly
- Any error messages or warnings
4. Keep Credentials Secure
- Don’t share API keys
- Regularly review connected apps
- Remove integrations you no longer use
5. Test Before Going Live
- Test integrations with sample data first
- Verify actions work as expected
- Check that data flows correctly
