Analytics

Level: Advanced Time: ~10 min Prerequisites: Lesson 7 Audience: creators

Purpose

The Analytics page tells you how your publishing is going across all connected platforms. This lesson maps what it shows — and is honest about what isn't measured yet.

Analytics page with total posts, published count, success rate and per-platform breakdown — Analytics — totals, success rate and a per-platform breakdown of your publishing.

Analytics — how your publishing is doing

The Analytics page summarizes your publishing activity from this app's own records:

Total Posts, with a week-over-week change.
Published and Failed counts.
Success Rate — of the posts actually attempted (drafts and scheduled don't count).
Platform Breakdown — published vs failed per platform, so you can see which platform is giving you trouble.

This is publishing telemetry, not audience engagement

The app states it plainly: Publishing telemetry from this app (per-channel results). Views, likes and engagement metrics aren't available in this dashboard yet — check each platform's own analytics for those. In other words, Analytics tells you whether your posts went out successfully, not how many people liked them.

What isn't available (be clear-eyed about this)

Real engagement metrics — views, likes, comments, reach — aren't shown inside the app for any platform, including YouTube. If you need those numbers, use each platform's own insights or creator tools (YouTube Studio, Instagram Insights, TikTok Analytics, Facebook Page insights). This is a genuine limitation, not a setting you've missed.

Analytics needs a paid plan

The Analytics page is a Creator-and-up feature (Lesson 2). Publishing to every platform, including YouTube, works on any plan — the analytics page is gated to paid plans.

Expected result

You know exactly what Analytics measures: did my posts publish successfully, across every connected platform. And you know not to expect like/view counts inside the app for any of them — check each platform's own tools for that.

Common mistakes

Expecting likes/views inside the app — no platform's real engagement numbers are shown here, check that platform's own tools instead.
Reading Success Rate as engagement — it measures publishing success, not audience response.
Looking for Analytics on Free — it's a Creator-and-up feature.

Troubleshooting (quick table)

Situation	What it means	Do this
No engagement numbers (views/likes) in the app	The app doesn't provide them yet, for any platform	Use each platform's own insights tools
Analytics page is locked	It's a paid feature	Upgrade (Lesson 2)

📱 Mobile note: the Analytics page works on mobile; the platform breakdown is easier to scan on a larger screen.
