Discover new advancements in Query, YouTube publishing, Community, and SSO

Go deep when Listening – unleash powerful advancements in Queries

Emplifi’s latest update changes the way you interact with the Listening query sets and queries. Now, your query set is no longer the main entity to configure but can also be used as a means to organize and manage searches.

• Each query can have its own filters and sources configured – Do you focus on specific regions but don’t want to lose track of the global level? Setup a query per region, apply the country or language filters and analyze the results for those queries together in one view.

• Queries can be assigned to query sets for a better organization – Do you split your queries geographically, per brand, or by topic you’re after? We help you categorize them in a query set according to your desired structure. You can also assign one query to multiple query sets.

• Control the status of every individual query – Get granular with your queries. You always have the option to pause one of many queries within a query set. You have full control of the status of every individual query to really fine-tune your search.

• Aggregate results from multiple queries or query sets – Aggregate and string queries together – only your imagination is the limit.  In this release, you can now combine the queries freely as well as combine the query sets to provide a complete aggregated set of results.  Go from simple queries to complex, sophisticated data mining by combining query sets.
• Listen more precisely – We’ve almost doubled the characters available for your keywords when listening to Twitter and the Web. You can now enter keywords up to ~1900 characters together. (Please note that filters like country, language, or profile inclusion/exclusion decrease the number of characters available for keywords). If you rely only on Instagram, Facebook or YouTube, the limited number of characters are not an issue.
• More available profiles – Similarly, we have increased the total number of profiles available for exclusion on Twitter from 25 to dozens of profiles (please note:  this is dynamic so we cannot be 100% precise). This allows you to remove the unwanted mentions from owned profiles.

Manage Twitter retweet permissions for better governance and control

Monitoring and managing your brand is a 24×7 effort today, and empowering teams with the authority to retweet is an important responsibility.  In this release, community managers can now set the right level of permissions for teams, advisors, or agents to make sure retweeting is managed by the right trained, capable staff.

In this release, you can:

• Can set permissions based on role/agent in “Roles and Permissions” section
• Permission is propagated to all necessary places
• Needs to be implemented in old community and mobile as well
• Managers with limited permissions will be informed why they have limited retweet authority as is the case for other actions

The existing ALT text support has a limitation to the lowest limit, with right now is LinkedIn 120 chars. As the clients are growing more mature with this alt text options the demand outgrown this limitation and it’s requested to keep the limit per platform – meaning the 120chars will not be the limit for every platform, but every platform will have the correct limit.

Better Optimize SEO with ALT Text

SEO optimization is critical for every marketing team. In this release, the Alt Text limit for Facebook and Twitter now support the extended (current) limits set by Facebook / Twitter in the customized mode.

Note that the character limits in the common mode are still 120 (which is LinkedIn limit), so you can still use this feature in the common mode or opt to use extended Alt Text limits in customized mode.

Alt Text still works for single photo posts on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and multi-photo posts on Facebook and Twitter. (Note: the LinkedIn API doesn’t support MultiPhoto posts at this time).
