What happens when you disconnect an integration

Disconnecting removes the active connection but does not delete your historical data.

What is removed

  • The access token or API key

  • Real-time data syncing stops

  • Automated publishing to that CMS stops

What is preserved

  • All historical data already pulled into SnowSEO

  • Articles and reports generated while the integration was active

  • Keyword rankings and traffic data from past crawls

Example If you disconnect Google Analytics 4, you stop seeing new session data. But all past traffic charts and reports remain visible. If you reconnect the same GA4 property later, data syncing resumes from where it left off.


Reconnecting the same integration

You can reconnect anytime. For OAuth integrations like Google Search Console and Analytics:

  • Click Connect again

  • Sign in with the same Google account

  • Select the same property

  • Data syncing resumes immediately

For API key integrations like Ghost or Webflow:

  • Re-enter your API key

  • The connection is restored

Reconnecting does not duplicate data. It simply restores the pipeline.


What permissions SnowSEO needs

Google Search Console

  • Read-only access to your search performance data

  • Cannot modify your site or submit changes to Google

  • Uses OAuth 2.0, so your password is never stored

Google Analytics 4

  • Read-only access to your traffic and user behavior data

  • Cannot create events, goals, or modify your GA4 setup

CMS integrations (WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, Framer)

  • Read and write access to publish articles

  • Can create posts and update existing ones

  • Does not delete your CMS content unless you explicitly unpublish from SnowSEO

Bing Webmaster Tools

  • Read access to Bing search data

  • Can submit URLs for indexing via IndexNow

Webhook

  • Sends article data to your specified endpoint

  • You control what happens to the data on your end


What is the webhook integration

The webhook integration lets you send published articles to any URL you control.

Use cases

  • Custom headless CMS not listed in SnowSEO

  • Internal content management system

  • Zapier or Make.com automation

  • Slack or Discord notifications

  • Backup pipeline

How it works

  • Go to Settings → Integrations → Webhook

  • Enter your endpoint URL

  • Choose the format (JSON, HTML, or Markdown)

  • When you publish an article, SnowSEO POSTs the data to your URL

  • Your system receives it and does whatever you want

What the payload includes

  • Article title, content, meta description, and tags

  • Featured image URL

  • SEO score and keyword data

  • Publication timestamp


Why integrations show "Coming soon"
