Integrations
Social platforms Periscope connects (and outbound tools)
Connect Instagram, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest on Basic. Add X and TikTok on Pro. Enterprise adds Slack alerts, webhooks, API keys, and PDF report exports.
Periscope is built for teams that already manage brand accounts on the major networks. You connect once per organisation. Everyone on the workspace shares the same live data.
This guide lists what each connection is for, which plan includes it, and what outbound options exist when you need alerts or data outside the portal.
We build Periscope. Plan limits can change; Pricing always wins if this page and Pricing disagree.

How to read this guide
Each platform section covers what you connect, what shows up in Overview and Posts, and the plan badge. Outbound tools are Enterprise-only and sit after the social list.
- Social connections sync metrics into the shared workspace
- Plan badges: Basic+, Pro+, or Enterprise
- Outbound integrations send alerts or data out of Periscope
02
1. Instagram
Best for: Professional accounts on Basic and above
Connect a professional Instagram account via Instagram Login or Meta. Periscope pulls professional account metrics, posts, and engagement into Overview and Posts.
Use native Instagram Insights for network-specific creative detail. Use Periscope when Instagram is one of several channels in the same report.
Pros
- Core channel for most brand teams
- Included from Basic
Cons
- Requires a professional account, not a personal profile
03
2. Facebook (Meta)
Best for: Page insights on Basic and above

Meta Business Suite remains useful for ads and Page admin work. Periscope focuses on organic performance next to your other channels.
Pros
- Page metrics alongside Instagram in one workspace
- Included from Basic
Cons
- Needs a Page you administer
04
3. LinkedIn
Best for: Organisation pages on Basic and above
Connect your organisation Page for analytics and post performance. LinkedIn is often the leadership-facing channel, so it belongs in the same Overview as Instagram.
Pros
- Organisation page analytics in the shared workspace
- Included from Basic
Cons
- Page admin access required
05
4. YouTube
Best for: Channel stats and video posts on Basic and above
Connect the channel you manage. Periscope pulls channel stats, video posts, and retention where the API provides it.
YouTube Studio stays the home for upload workflows. Periscope places video performance next to your other networks.
Pros
- Video performance in the same date range as social posts
- Included from Basic
Cons
- Retention detail depends on what the API returns
06
5. Pinterest
Best for: Business accounts on Basic and above
Connect a Pinterest Business account. Periscope pulls pin performance, impressions, and engagement into Overview and Posts when the API provides them.
Pinterest Analytics stays useful for board-level creative detail. Periscope places pins in the same date range as your other channels.
Pros
- Pin metrics in the shared workspace
- Included from Basic
Cons
- Business account required
- Metric detail depends on Pinterest API access
07
6. X and TikTok
Best for: Pro plans and above
X and TikTok are available on Pro when enabled for your workspace. They follow the same pattern: connect the account, sync, and see metrics in Overview and Posts.
Availability can depend on platform API access. If a connection is not shown yet, check Pricing or contact support from the marketing site.
Pros
- Extends the workspace beyond Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest
- Same date filters as other channels
Cons
- Requires Pro or higher
- Platform API limits can affect what metrics appear
08
7. Enterprise outbound: Slack, webhooks, API keys, PDF reports
Best for: Teams that need alerts or data outside the portal
Slack posts alerts when metrics or connections need attention. Webhooks send JSON events to your endpoints. API keys let you read workspace data from your own tools. PDF reports export snapshots for clients or leadership.
These sit on Enterprise. Most teams start with social connections on Basic or Pro and add outbound when ops asks for it.
Pros
- Alerts and exports without leaving your stack
- Scoped API access for internal tools
Cons
- Enterprise plan required
