The Cove Comments integration requires the Luna Plan.
Cove is a hosted comment system. Outpost’s role in the integration is narrow: pass member identity to Cove via SSO so paid Outpost members are recognized in Cove without a second sign-in. Everything else — comment threading, moderation, appearance, notifications — is handled in Cove’s own dashboard. For Cove’s product documentation, see cove.chat/docs.

​
What Outpost does

  • SSO — Outpost signs Outpost members into Cove using their Outpost email so they can comment without a second login.
  • Member sync — When a member’s subscription state changes in Outpost (e.g. cancellation, plan change), the linked Cove identity reflects that.
  • Theme-side embed — Cove’s comment widget is added to your Ghost theme as a script tag your developer drops in.
Outpost does not host comments, store comment content, or replicate Cove’s moderation tools. To moderate, configure, or style comments, log into Cove directly.
