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.
where this happens in the app

1. New comments are pulled in every 5 minutes
A background sweep checks each connected channel for new comments and DMs on a 5-minute schedule. It isn't instant from the platform's side, and isn't meant to be. Comments aren't as time-critical as a scheduled publish, so a short poll is enough.
2. Once it's in your inbox, it's instant
From the moment a new item lands in PostEase's own database, an open inbox screen updates on its own. No manual refresh, and no losing your place in a thread you already had open.

Does this work if I run two separate brands from one account?

The sample threads above illustrate how the inbox behaves once a comment or DM has synced in. Inbox sync covers YouTube, Bluesky and WordPress today. Publishing has expanded to more platforms than that, and comments and DMs from the rest don't sync into the inbox yet.

- How to disconnect a channel
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 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.
- 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.
