What is a workspace, and how is it different from an account?
A connected account is a social profile or page, such as your Instagram account. A workspace groups the accounts, team access and AI settings for one business or client. Plans call these workspaces brands. Open a workspace from the sidebar to see its overview; use Accounts to check connections and workspace assignments.

How does the AI reply feature work?
AI drafts use your workspace's business details, tone and guidelines, plus the post a comment was left on. Review and edit a draft before sending it. Workflows you enable on Advanced and Elite can send replies automatically. Each AI reply uses 1 credit. Try the free comment reply generator before connecting an account.

Can OutReply generate images and content for my posts?
Yes. OutReply writes captions with AI, generates images and short video clips (Seedance 2.0), and suggests dated post ideas for the next 30 days, built around holidays, events and your recent engagement. AI generation uses credits from your plan.

What is sentiment analysis and how can it help me?
Sentiment analysis uses AI to determine whether comments and mentions are positive, negative, or neutral. This helps you quickly identify and respond to negative feedback before it escalates, while also highlighting positive engagement opportunities. You'll get sentiment scores and trends in your analytics dashboard.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
Yes. Cancel at any time from the subscription menu in the app. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. Cancelling stops future billing and moves your account back to the Free plan straight away, so paid features end at that point.

Do you offer refunds?
Subscription refunds are decided case by case, as set out in section 4 of our Terms and Conditions. If something went wrong with a charge, contact us. Credits spent on an AI image or video generation that fails are refunded automatically.

How do I connect my social media accounts?
Open Accounts → Connect account, choose a network and authorize OutReply on that network's own screen. Select the profile or page you manage, then assign it to a workspace. You need the relevant permissions on that network; OutReply does not ask you to share your social media password.

Can I manage multiple brands or clients?
Yes. Each workspace has its own account assignments, team permissions and AI settings. Choose a workspace from the sidebar to open it, or filter Inbox, Content and Results by workspace. Free includes 1 workspace (brand), Advanced up to 3, and Elite up to 10. See the full plan comparison.

Is my data secure with OutReply?
We connect to each network through its official OAuth authorization, so we never see or store your social media passwords, and you can disconnect an account at any time. Traffic between your browser and OutReply is encrypted with HTTPS. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we protect it.

Who can access my social media accounts through OutReply?
Only team members you explicitly invite can access your brand's accounts. Each team member gets their own login, and you choose what they can do per brand, such as full control, messaging, publishing or analytics. You can revoke access at any time.

Does OutReply post without my permission?
No. AI replies stay drafts until you approve them, and posts go out only when you publish or schedule them. Replies are sent automatically only by workflows you turn on, and you can switch a workflow off at any time.

Why isn't my social account connecting?
  1. Open Accounts and check the connection status.
  2. If you see Reconnect needed, reconnect with the social login that manages the profile or page. If a teammate connected it, ask that person to reconnect.
  3. Check that you granted the permissions requested by the network.
  4. If the connection is active but unavailable in a workspace, check its workspace assignment and your team permissions.

My scheduled post didn't publish. What happened?
Scheduled posts may fail if the connected account's authorization expired, the content violates platform policies, or there's a temporary platform outage. Check the post status in your dashboard for specific error messages, and ensure your account connection is active.
