The Social Listening Posts view page displays the data fetched based on the data ingestion rules across different platforms such as Open Messaging, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook. You can view the details of the social listening post including the name of the person who created the post, post creation date, sentiment, number of likes, shares, and comments, and the post type. The sentiment score is available in the upper right corner of each post and is displayed in the emoji format. Administrators or supervisors can escalate a particular post to an agent. Currently, the engagement is available for the X platform. The data is retained for 60 days and deleted after 60 days.

To see social listening posts, click Performance > Workspace > Social > Social Listening Posts.

Set a default time zone in the workspace

You can set the default time zone in the analytics workspace before viewing any analytics view.

To set the default time zone in the workspace, follow these steps:

  1. Click Performance > Workspace.
  2. On the left side, from the Time zone drop-down menu, select the required time zone as the default time zone for the analytics workspace.

This view updates automatically except when you use filters from the Filters pane. To see the most current data, click Refresh .

To view the social listening posts in the native platform, click the View parent post link at the bottom of the respective post. 

By default, the media such as images and videos in the social listening posts appear dimmed. To view the dimmed media, click the Show content option below the media. To dim the media, click the Blur content option below the media. 

Note: For the X platform, there may be instances where the X media URL prevents Genesys Cloud from retrieving the media (picture or video) on public social posts. In this case, Genesys Cloud includes the post’s content and not the media. Genesys is working with the X technical team to resolve the technical glitch on the X side.

Customize the view

To show only certain data, customize the Social Listening Performance view using any combination of filters. For example, you can choose to show only certain filters to see certain types of data. You can also save your filter and column settings as a saved view to switch quickly between different data of interest in the same view. 

Administrators or supervisors with the necessary permissions can escalate a particular post to an agent.

To escalate a post:

  • In the upper right corner of the required post to be escalated, click Escalate Icon Escalate. The Integrations window opens.

  • Select the required integration from the drop-down menu. Upon successful escalation, the Post escalated successfully in-app notification appears.
    Note: A social post can be escalated only once. The data is retained for 60 days and deleted after 60 days.
