Connected accounts and integrations

What connecting a social channel or Gmail gives you, what data is read, and how to disconnect.

Connections are managed at Connected accounts, and brand-side integrations at Integrations.

What is read and what is not

  • Authorisation happens on the platform’s own login screen. Elev8or never sees your password.
  • Channel connections read public profile data, counts and recent posts. They do not read DMs.
  • Gmail is used to send your pitches and track replies to them, not to browse your mail.
  • Disconnecting from Connected accounts stops all future access immediately.

If a connection keeps dropping

Platform tokens expire when you change your password or revoke app access on the platform side. Reconnect once and it holds.
