Does my channel connection expire?
It renews itself automatically every 15 minutes, well before the old token would expire. You only hear from us if a renewal fails.
where this happens in the app

1. A check every 15 minutes, not on demand
A background sweep looks for any connection whose token is about to expire and renews it ahead of time, rather than at the moment you try to publish, when a stale token would cost you a failed post.
2. You don't hear about it when it works
A successful renewal doesn't email you or show up anywhere. The connection keeps working, and there's nothing for you to check.
3. An email only when a renewal fails
If the renewal itself is rejected, because the account owner revoked access for instance, that's the one case you're notified, with a direct link to reconnect. See how you find out when a channel disconnects for what that notification looks like.

Remove a connected account: what happens to the posts scheduled to it, and where PostEase revokes its own access versus where you remove it yourself.
- What permissions connecting YouTube asks for
Four Google scopes: upload, read-only channel access, comment replies, and read-only analytics. Nothing broader than Google’s consent screen names.
- Does the inbox update automatically?
New comments sync in on a 5-minute schedule; once they land, the inbox updates on its own. No refresh, no lost place in a thread.
- Use the PostEase API
Create, schedule and read posts, the inbox and media from your own code with a Pro plan token: every route, the response shape and the errors.
