Connecting a channel gives Ocoya permission to act on that account on your behalf. This is what that involves. ## What a connection holds | | | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Which account** | The network, the account's id on that network, its display name and profile picture — so you can tell your channels apart | | **Access** | The credential the network issued when you approved the connection. It's what lets Ocoya publish for you | | **Connection health** | Whether the network has rejected that credential, when, and the error it gave — this is what drives the "needs reconnecting" state | | **Where it posts** | Per-network extras, such as which Pinterest boards or Google Business locations the account has | Ocoya only ever gets what you approved on the network's own permission screen. The scopes are listed there at connection time, and they differ per network. ## What Ocoya keeps from your activity **Posts you made through Ocoya** — the caption, the media, which channels it went to, when, and what the network said back. That history is how Planner shows you what published and why something failed. **Inbox conversations, for Facebook and Instagram only.** If you use the [Inbox](/help/inbox), Ocoya pulls in DMs, mentions and comments for those two networks so you can reply from Ocoya. No other network feeds the Inbox, so no other network's messages are pulled in. How far back the Inbox reaches is set by the networks, not by Ocoya — they limit how much history an app can read. ## Where it lives A connected channel belongs to **one brand**. Connecting the same social account to a second brand is a second, separate connection — the two don't share state. Who inside a brand can see it is a matter of roles: everyone with access to the brand can see its channels, and what they can *do* depends on their role. See [Roles and permissions](/help/roles-and-permissions). ## Your own posts, on the network Ocoya publishes to your account, so what appears there is yours and lives under that network's terms, not Ocoya's. Deleting a post inside Ocoya doesn't remove it from the network — delete it there too. ## Related What stops, what stays, and how to revoke access properly. Who inside a brand can see and change what.
