Scheduling a post and watching it go out on time is only half the story. The other half is knowing whether it actually landed — and until now, Postfalcon couldn't tell you that. It could tell you a post was posted, but not whether anyone saw it.
That's what the new Analytics page is for.
What it shows
Open Analytics in the sidebar and you'll see four totals — views, likes, comments, and shares — a bar chart of views over the last 7 days, and a callout for your top-performing post that week. All of it is pulled from your own connected accounts; nothing is estimated or extrapolated.
Where the numbers come from
A background job checks in on your recently-published posts every three hours and asks each platform's own API for its current view/like/comment/share counts, then stores the latest snapshot on the post. It only looks at posts from the last 30 days, so older posts stop being polled once they're unlikely to move much further.
That also means numbers aren't instant — give a freshly-published post a little while (up to a few hours) before its first real numbers show up.
Coverage varies by platform, on purpose
Not every platform's API exposes the same data through the permissions Postfalcon already requests, and we'd rather be upfront about that than fake a number:
- YouTube and Threads report the most — views, likes, and comments.
- Mastodon, Bluesky, Facebook, and Instagram report likes and comments, but not view counts (that needs a separate insights permission we don't currently request).
- Telegram and TikTok don't expose post-level metrics through their APIs at all yet, so posts to those stay unmetered rather than showing a fake zero.
The Analytics page says exactly this too, right under the chart, so it's never a mystery why one post shows a view count and another doesn't.
It's not just for you
The same numbers are available to your MCP-connected agent as a tool call — see
giving your AI agent access to your analytics — and
over the REST API at GET /api/v1/analytics/summary for anyone scripting against Postfalcon
directly (see the API docs).
Every plan includes Analytics — it isn't gated behind a higher tier.
