Adding the Social Posts Widget to a Report

 

To add social content and metrics for individual posts, drag the Social Posts widget from the Toolbar onto the report:

 

 

Click 'Add Social Posts':

 


Adding Social Posts to the Widget

 

There are three ways add social posts:

1. Paste URLs in bulk for LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and Pinterest

2. Upload images or video clips (for Stories and other post types not already covered)

3. Pull in posts from other Releasd reports

 

1. Paste URLs in bulk for LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and Pinterest posts

 

Select the option to add URLs:

 

 

Paste as many URLs as needed, in bulk, from LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X or Pinterest:

 

 

Click 'Submit URLs' and the tool will fetch all of the posts. 

 

2. Upload images or video (for Stories and other post types not already covered)

 

Stories can't be embedded, so you can upload screenshots or video instead:

 

 

Account name, platform and metrics can be added manually:

 

 

So it will look like the below:

 

 

Scenario 1:

  • User adds 3 Instagram posts: 2 normal posts and 1 Story
  • User gets automated metrics for the 2 normal posts, and manually adds metrics to the Story
  • In the Summary Metrics widget, user can display Total Social Posts, Total Instagram Posts, Total Instagram Views and these will be pulled from the 2 normal posts + 1 Story

Scenario 2:

  • User adds a screenshot of a Bluesky post and selects Bluesky as the platform
  • User manually adds metrics to the Bluesky post
  • In the Summary Metrics widget, user can display Total Social Posts, Total Social Views etc and the Bluesky post will contribute to these; ie the Bluesky post will be recognised
  • However, the user cannot display 'Total Bluesky Views' for example

 

3. Pull in posts from other Releasd reports


Select this option to add posts from existing reports in your account:

 

 

Showcasing Posts and Automated Metrics

 

Click 'Done' to save the widget.

The system will showcase posts in a gallery, and automatically fetch metrics for LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X:
