Channels

Channels are configured social destinations inside a workspace. They represent the account, handle, page, feed, newsletter, or other publication destination where content will eventually be handed off for publishing.

Channels are workspace-owned data. Organization-owned connectors may provide credentials for external systems, but the workspace owns which destinations are available for content planning.

Model

A channel has:

• id
• workspaceId
• name
• network
• optional handle
• optional externalUrl
• createdAt

network is a controlled string matching the frontend channel network options:

• Instagram
• TikTok
• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• YouTube
• X
• Reddit
• Website

Channel names must be unique inside a workspace for the same network.

Behavior

• Authenticated users with workspace access can list channels for their active workspace.
• Workspace managers can create channels.
• Content planning uses configured channels as selectable destinations.
• Development seed data should create real workspace channels instead of relying on content target labels as fake channels.

Not In Scope

• External connector credentials.
• Publishing directly to social networks.
• Channel deletion, archiving, or editing.
