Social channel guide
Before you connect, check the permissions you’ll allow, what you can and can’t do, and what THE-Y keeps.
Only what you’ve checked goes upEven if a service requests an upload, it goes up only after your final review in THE-Y.
If we don’t know the result, we don’t upload againWe check the result of the same upload again, so it never goes up twice.
Disconnect and it’s deletedWhen you disconnect, THE-Y deletes the platform information it holds within 7 days.
Guide by platform
- Accounts you can connect
Account eligibility and management permissions are checked during connection.
Permissions you allow, and why- https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl
What you can doWhat you can’t doLimits- Messaging inside the platform’s native app is outside the THE-Y API integration. The API scopes requested by THE-Y do not include message read or send access, so THE-Y provides no DM feature for this platform.
- Google OAuth app verification and the YouTube API compliance audit are separate. THE-Y allows only private uploads until public-upload eligibility for this project has been confirmed.
- Any approved YouTube comment synchronization uses polling rather than a real-time webhook.
- YouTube API data is refreshed or deleted within the applicable 30-day policy period.
- Effective 2026-06-01, videos.insert uses 1 unit from the separate Video Uploads quota bucket; the documented default upload limit is 100 calls per day.
What THE-Y keeps- THE-Y encrypts and stores only the channel-management tokens needed for this connection, then requests revocation and removes local credentials when you disconnect or delete your account. If an approved engagement feature is enabled, its content is retained for 90 days by default; raw webhooks are retained for 7 days.
