Followers going up? Down? Now you’ll know why. Use Postpone's social media analytics tools to track your growth over time, pinpoint spikes and drops, and figure out what keeps people sticking around.

**ChatGPT**

Which posts brought in the most new followers last month?

**Checked with Postpone**

Three did most of the work:

- 610 new followers from the pricing write-up on r/SaaS
- 240 from the customer story on LinkedIn
- 190 from the launch thread on X

All three went out before 10 AM and opened with a number rather than a claim. Want me to schedule three more like them?

## **Social Media Analytics for AI Agents**

### Ask Your AI What the Numbers Say

Connect Postpone to the assistant you already use and it can read what published across every connected account, the engagement each post drew, and how your follower count has moved.

That is enough for it to answer the question you actually had, which posts brought people in and what they had in common, instead of handing you another dashboard to read.

## **Social Media Analytics FAQs**

What Postpone Can Actually Measure

Which metrics come from which platform, where Reddit fits in, and what you can do with a report once you have one.

Still have questions? Check out our help center for answers to most of your questions, or reach out to our support team.

[**Visit the Help Center **](https://help.postpone.app/) [**Contact us **](https://www.postpone.app/contact)

### **Which metrics does Postpone track for each platform?**

Likes and total engagements come back for all 12 platforms, and replies for every one except Tumblr. Views and engagement rate are available on X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and Threads.

The narrower metrics are narrower because the platforms are: clicks on X, Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest; reposts on X, Bluesky, Threads and Mastodon; quotes on X, Bluesky and Threads; shares on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Threads; profile clicks on X and Instagram; and reach on Instagram only. Postpone reports what each platform’s API returns, and nothing it doesn’t.

[**The full metric-by-platform list **](https://help.postpone.app/scheduling/analytics/post-metrics)

### **Does Postpone show analytics for Reddit?**

Yes, which is unusual — most schedulers stop at the mainstream networks. Upvotes, comments and total engagement come back for every Reddit submission, and you can read them by post, by subreddit and by account over time.

There is a Reddit-only layer on top of that: your account’s karma charted over time, a breakdown of which post templates earn the most upvotes and comments, and per-subreddit engagement heatmaps from Subreddit Analysis. Views and engagement rate are not part of the Reddit picture — those are reported only where the platform exposes them.

[**How subreddit analysis works **](https://www.postpone.app/features/subreddit-analysis)

### **Why don’t Postpone’s numbers match my native platform insights?**

Because the two are counting different things. Postpone reports what a platform’s API hands over, and a native dashboard is free to show metrics that are never exposed to third-party tools, or to count a view or an impression differently from the figure the API returns for the same post.

Two other things move the numbers. Metrics are pulled in and refreshed over time, so a post published minutes ago reads low until the platform catches up. And when an account disconnects — an expired token, a password change, access revoked in the platform’s app settings — its metrics stop refreshing entirely until you reconnect it. That is the first thing to check when a chart goes flat.

[**Why accounts disconnect, and how to fix it **](https://help.postpone.app/account-and-billing/account/disconnected-accounts)

### **Can I export a report, or share one with someone who has no Postpone login?**

You can export it; there is no public share link. Every chart has Download and Copy buttons that hand you the image, and the post analytics table exports to CSV or JSON for whatever date range you are looking at — so it goes straight into a deck or a spreadsheet.

If someone needs the live dashboard rather than a snapshot, analytics is its own team permission: you can invite them and grant analytics without giving them access to your posts, tags, feeds or settings. And a weekly or monthly performance email arrives on its own, so a recurring recap needs nobody to log in at all.

[**How team permissions work **](https://www.postpone.app/features/teams-and-collaboration)

### **Can I measure a whole campaign instead of one post at a time?**

Tag the posts and Postpone adds them up for you. Post tags are free-form — “Product Launch 2026”, “Q1 Blog Promo”, whatever grouping fits — and Analytics > Tags rolls up likes, replies, views, engagements and engagement rate across every post carrying that tag. Filter by date range or account, and select several tags to compare them side by side. That is also the cheapest way to A/B two content strategies: tag each approach separately and read the difference.

[**How tag analytics works **](https://help.postpone.app/scheduling/analytics/tag-analytics)

### **Can Postpone email me a summary instead of me checking the dashboard?**

Yes, weekly or monthly, from Settings > Reports. Weekly reports go out on Monday and monthly ones on the 1st, each covering your top-performing posts for the period, how your follower count moved across connected accounts, and the aggregate likes, replies, views and engagements. You need a confirmed email address on the account to receive them, and you can change the frequency or turn them off whenever you like.
