Connections — bring in your own posts & reviews
Connections is how the studio gets a copy of your own social activity to work from. You paste a link to each account and download your latest posts and reviews — the same way you add a competitor — and that data then feeds your Analytics and the AI’s read of how you’re doing.
How to use it
- Find the card for the account — Instagram, Facebook, or Google.
- Paste your link (your Instagram @handle or URL, your Facebook Page link, or your Google Maps listing link).
- Press Download — it pulls your latest posts (or reviews) in a few seconds.
- The card flips to show your handle, how many items came in, and when you last synced. Press Re-sync any time to refresh.
Each download shows its credit cost on the button before you press it. The first pull grabs your ~50 most recent posts (or ~100 Google reviews) — enough to read your rhythm without paying to dig through very old posts. Re-sync later only adds what’s new.
Why a download uses credits
Pulling fresh posts and reviews from a live account is real work done for you each time, so it costs a few credits — shown up front, never a surprise. It only ever runs when you press Download or Re-sync; nothing pulls in the background.
Auto-publishing — the studio posting to your accounts for you — arrives once Instagram and Google approve our app. For now, Connections is about bringing your own data in.
Worked example
A new lash studio pastes its Instagram handle, presses Download, and a few seconds later the card reads “98 posts · just now.” Over on Analytics, their own cadence and top posts now sit alongside the competitors they track — so the AI’s advice is grounded in their real account, not guesses.
