At the moment (more to come soon), you can use SocialBee's Engage Module for:
- Types of interactions: Comments, mentions, and DMs.
- Social Media Platforms: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, and Threads.
- Boards: these are “buckets” to organize different brands, platforms, comments, mentions, and so on.
- Streams: this is where you actually see the comments and mentions, and where you'll reply to them.
How to create an Engage Board?
In order to use the Engage Module, you first need to create an Engage Board. Here's how:
Click on the interactive screen below to see the steps, or scroll down to the written instructions.
- Go to your Engage menu.
- Click on "+ Add new board” and type in your Board's name.
- Click on "Save" to create the Board.
How to create an Engage Stream
After you create your Engage Board, you need to create Engage Streams. Here's how:
Click on the interactive screen below to see the steps, or scroll down to the written instructions.
- Go to the Engage menu and make sure you already have an Engage Board created (how-to here).
- Click on “+ Add new stream”.
- Select the social media profile you want to generate a Stream for.
- Select what kind of interactions you wish to bring to your SocialBee account.
- Click on “Save” to create the Board.
Most boards will be empty at first, and it might take up to 60 minutes (from when they are added) to preview your comments, mentions, and so on.
