Connect Multiple Social Media Profiles To One Workspace

This guide will show you how to manage multiple social media accounts by duplicating Phantoms and obtaining different sets of session cookies.

You can use multiple Phantoms with different social media profile session cookies. To achieve this, you'll need to use a private or incognito window to ensure smooth management of multiple accounts by keeping session data separate, preventing one session from affecting another.

⚠️ Open a new private window for each social media account before retrieving session cookies.

 

Retrieving session cookies using PhantomBuster’s browser extension

💡 For LinkedIn, Instagram or Facebook use the PhantomBuster browser extension to simplify cookie retrieval.

1. Enable the extension for private windows:

  • Chrome: Go to SettingsExtensionsPhantomBuster DetailsEnable "Allow in Incognito.
  • Firefox: Go to SettingsExtensions & ThemesPhantomBusterManageEnable "Run in Private Windows.

2. Open a private browser window and log into the social media account.
3. In the Phantom setup, click Connect to... to retrieve the session cookies automatically.

    • Chrome: Ctrl/CMD + Shift + N
    • Firefox: Shift + Ctrl/CMD + P
  1. Log into the desired social media account.
  2. Right-click on the page and select Inspect to open the Developer Tools.
  3. Retrieve the session cookie values as per our guide on manually obtaining session cookies.
  4. Paste the session cookie value into the duplicated Phantom's setup.
  5. Close the private window without logging out.
⚠️ Don’t log out while closing the window to avoid session cookies from expiring.
