Notes:
- Facebook analytics (page & post insights) is built in but requires Facebook app-review permissions, so availability can be limited depending on your app's approval.
- Telegram delete works only within 48 hours, and the bot must be a channel admin.
- TikTok uses direct publish and does not offer post deletion via its API. Scheduling still works — our app holds the post and auto-publishes it at the time you choose (TikTok's own native scheduler isn't used).
- Instagram requires media (no text-only posts) and does not allow post deletion via the current API permissions.
- Instagram Stories publish via the Telegram bot's
/story command (send the bot a photo or video after /story); the web composer does not offer a Story type yet.

Analytics — What's Actually Tracked
We believe in being transparent about scope. Here's exactly what the analytics module covers today:
✅ Available now
- Publish status & success rate for every post, on every platform (per-platform result visibility).
- Per-platform breakdown — see which platform succeeded, failed, or partially published, with the reason.
- YouTube live stats — views, likes, comments, and watch time per video, plus channel views and subscriber change.
◐ Limited / conditional
- Facebook insights (page & post impressions, engagement, reactions) — built in, but requires Facebook app-review permissions.
— Not available yet
- Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram engagement/reach metrics.
- Account-growth charts beyond YouTube subscribers.
- "Best time to post" recommendations — scheduling uses the exact time you choose, not an AI-predicted slot.
Reliability & Security
🛡️ Publishing Reliability
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff for temporary API/network errors
- Per-platform publish results with clear error messages (media format, auth, token, API limit, platform rejection)
- Partial-success handling — one platform failing never blocks the others
- Full status lifecycle: Draft → Scheduled → Publishing → Published / Partial / Failed
- Background async publishing with status polling for long uploads
- Automatic media transcoding to platform-compatible formats
🔐 Security & Trust
- Access tokens encrypted at rest
- Automatic token refresh in the background
- OAuth state validation + session binding
- Rate limiting and email verification on sign-up
- Admin audit logs, security-event logging, and geo-IP login tracking
- Role-based admin access & multi-tenant support
- Private & secure — your tokens, content, and client media are encrypted and never shared
