Product Updates

Three new updates for Klear this week, starting September off with a bang! 💥Edit Campaign Post Metrics Learn more in the Help Center: YouTube Search by Handle Learn more in the Help Center: Improved Instagram Collab Reporting Edit Campaign Post MetricsUse the new Edit Metrics option to manually update campaign post metrics with any performance data captured outside of Klear. Manually edited metrics override Klear captured results, and reflect the new data across Measure dashboards in Campaigns, as well as in single campaign reports and exports.Accessing performance data for some posts (especially Instagram Stories) can be challenger when influencer authentication is required. Klear’s True Reach provides an overview of performance when authentication isn’t possible, but in some cases you may still request screenshots from influencers to measure success. The ability to edit campaign metrics allows your team to manage your data in one convenient place, and allows you to capture the metrics that matter most to you.   Learn more in the Help Center:Klear: Edit Campaign Post Metrics  YouTube Search by HandleYou can now search for and manage YouTube influencer profiles using their handle instead of only by channel ID. This update simplifies discovery, streamlines account management, and improves accuracy by allowing you to find and manage YouTubers by their handles that are typically far simpler and more user-friendly than complex channel IDs ✨  Learn more in the Help Center:Discover New Influencers in Klear’s Database Managing Your Influencer Network  Improved Instagram Collab ReportingNow you can track and measure Instagram Collab posts in Campaigns, even when you are not the designated post owner.Instagram Collabs are co-authored by multiple accounts, but there is always one designated “owner” of the post. Previously, Klear could only track these posts if the owner was a campaign member, but now it’s possible to track all your Instagram Collabs 🙌As long as the following criteria are met, Instagram Collab posts will be captured automatically without having to add your brand as a campaign member:Your Instagram Business Account is authenticated in Klear. To do this, go to the integrations tab in your account settings and follow the setup steps to connect. The influencer you are collaborating with is added as a member of the campaign. (See Collaborating on Campaigns) The Collab post includes the tracking keyword in your campaign (See What Content Klear Automatically Captures) Once these criteria are met, the post and corresponding metrics will appear in your campaign Measure dashboard!

We’ve updated how social media posts are displayed in Newsletters to help make them clearer and easier to use. This post will get you up to date on what’s changed. Previously, social media posts showed the same text in both the title and the body, which led to long blocks of redundant text, particularly with lengthy posts from platforms like Facebook and Instagram. This could make newsletters look cluttered and harder to read.The new display features:No more redundant titles: Social media posts now will only show the key sentence without repeating it as a title. This avoids clutter, and makes the content cleaner and easier to read. Clickable links: To view the full post, recipients can click the link labeled “Click to view full post.” This makes the full post accessible if they choose. Show more / less: For longer posts (like those on Instagram or Facebook) you can expand the text using the “Show More” option, and collapse it using “Show Less.” This allows you to view the content according to your preference. Pro tips:Customization options: Want to adjust the look of your “Click to view full post” link? This is available in the template settings, and helps differentiate social media posts from traditional media coverage. To customize this link: Go to the social media section of your template Adjust the headline and hit sentence settings Save your changes Best experience: Group social media content separately from traditional media like online, print, and broadcast. Ensure the hit sentence is toggled ON for social media sections to see the content. Have questions? Need help? Don’t hesitate to reach out to our product support team using the live chat widget in Meltwater or by sending an email to help@meltwater.com.  Note: this change will only apply to users sending Newsletters using the new Newsletters experience. If you are using legacy Newsletters, you will not notice any change to your Newsletters.

AI Search Assistant: New Chat Popup Warning   Drill-Down in Topic WheelThe Topic Wheel in Explore shows the topics that appear most frequently from a set of search results. The chart shows three levels of topics and sub-topics. Click on a topic to expand the sub-topics.Now you can explore and analyze what is powering the outermost layer of the topic wheel and “drill-down” into the data for a more focused data review. When selecting a spoke that appears on the topic wheel, you’ll see an AI-Powered Insight, a preview of those posts, and analytics. You can also turn the topic into a filter on your search.   How Does It Help?When exploring large sets of data, Research and Insights pros may need to further investigate a segment of data. In the Topic Breakdown visual, data spokes show where our AI is able to classify content three levels deep.Drill-Down can help you:Identify smaller topics and trends that appear as spokes Understand why a topic has appeared in the Topic Breakdown Generate and copy an AI-Powered Insight on a topic Analyze and report on topic-specific KPIs Create a topic-specific filter on the search How Does It Work?Open a search and head to Topic Analysis. The Top Breakdown visual will appear and users can select the third level of the topic wheel for a topic drill-down. An AI-Powered Insight and post previews will appear. Analytics and the ability to add the topic as a filter also appear. Learn more in the Help CenterGetting to Know Explore Widgets > Topic Analysis Widgets > Topic Breakdown  Case Sensitive Operator in ExploreThe new Case Sensitive Operator for Boolean search in Explore lets you search using specific casing (uppercase, lowercase, or a mix). This helps you find (for example) mentions of the brand Apple amongst all the mentions of the fruit “apple.” 🍎How Does It Help?Some brand names (like Apple, Square, Fancy Feast - even Meltwater​​​​​!) are also words or phrases that people use ambiguously. Being able to find the instances where the word is capitalized (and likely used as a proper noun) helps reduce false positive matches, and gives the search creator a more organized and specific syntax 🙌In the following example, we can see how a character’s name, Data, is case sensitive to distinguish it from other mentions of the term data. We keep the show name not case sensitive, since fans may use “TNG” or “tng” when referring to their favorite Star Trek series and, in this case, we would want to capture all mentions of the show with specific mentions of the character Data. (“Star Trek” OR “TNG” OR “The Next Generation”) AND caseSensitive:(Data) How Does It Work?The Case Sensitive operator is written like this: caseSensitive:(term)For example:technology AND caseSensitive:(Apple OR Microsoft) This search will bring on only posts where Apple or Microsoft are capitalized, but does not apply the same restriction to the term ‘technology,’ which can appear in any casing format - even ‘TeChNoLoGy.”Case sensitive operators can be used to detect brand names, character names, and other terms that are capitalized or have unique capitalization throughout the word. ​​​​​   The precision of the new operator can be seen in the following example where Apple is searched with and without the caseSensitive operator:  Learn More in the Help CenterThe Complete Boolean Library  Insert Image in AI Search Assistant in ExploreNow the AI Search Assistant can create a search based on an uploaded image. This can help query creators come up with descriptors and entity names as they appear in images, reducing the need for knowledge of a specific scene, celebrity or location.The AI Search Assistant can provide search syntax suggestions based on the image contents. You can also use this functionality to create custom categories, as well as searches - just like text-based inputs 🤩 How Does It Work?To use this feature, you will need the URL to an image file that is in one of the following formats:.jpg / .jpeg .gif .pngClick the ‘insert image’ icon next to the ‘send message’ icon. When uploading the image, provide the search assistant with a request such as “create a search using this image” - without a prompt, the assistant may not know what to do. See It in ActionUse the Insert Image icon to open the modal and add the image URL you would like to search Simply paste the valid image link to append it to your conversation.  You will see your text prompt and the image in the AI Search Assistant chat The query generated by the AI Search Assistant: (“Washington Monument” OR “U.S. Capitol” OR “White House” OR “Lincoln Memorial”) AND image:Scene:monument OR imageScene:building OR imageScene:park) Further suggestions from the AI Search Assistant to help you refine your search. It suggests breaking the query into more specific operators or adding additional content and gives the example of narrowing the search by using: (“Washington Monument” OR “U.S. Capitol” OR “White House” OR “Lincoln Memorial”) AND imageScene:monument Here’s another example: Let’s dig into some more Star Trek: TNG 🌌 Using the supplied image, the AI Search Assistant suggests “Star Trek: The Next Generation” AND (“Jean-Luc Picard” OR “William Riker” OR “Data” OR “Worf” OR “Deanna Troi” OR “Wesley Crusher”) Learn More in the Help CenterGetting Started With the AI Search Assistant  UI (User Interface) Updates These latest UI updates come on the heels of the Explore Home Page makeover announced a couple of weeks ago.

This column is not always used, and hiding it tidies up the search display 🧹 The column visibility setting can be changed at any time if you need to view the ‘Used in’ column again. Simply click the sorting dropdown in the search display and select ‘Used in’ to make the column visible again.  This change was made to tidy up the display and because a large Explore project that contains many saved search will load faster when the ‘Used in’ column is not visible. If a project is loading slowly, it is recommended to remove that column from the user view.Learn more in the Help Center: Getting Started With Explore  Author List Limit Increased to 25,000!Previously, the limit to Author Lists was 5k.

The customization options are the same as those available via the edit button in the post preview section. Clicking the specific channel tab also displays only that channel in the right-hand preview pane.Channel-specific customizations include images, videos, gifs, and emojis ( where applicable) aswell as:Facebook: audience restrictions Instagram: post type, people and product tags, collaborators, first comment LinkedIn: audience restrictions TikTok: advanced settings X: n/a YouTube: title, private, advanced settings Posts with any edits or customizations made via the individual tabs that differ from the General tab will include a customized badge on their previews.  If there are any errors for the post specific to a channel, that channel tab will be highlighted in red.  As always, any text or attachments added or edited in the General tab will auto-populate into the other channel-specific tabs.  Learn more in the Help CenterHow to Create a New Social Post in Publish  Integrated Video Editor What is it?The video editor in Publish functions similarly to the image editor also available to users in Engage.

We are adding Discord as a new source of data in Radarly for a small set of Radarly clients! 🎮 ✨This new integration enables monitoring of public messages that occur in your owned public Discord servers and channels. For the uninitiated: Discord is a free communication app used by tens of millions of people to talk and hang out with their favorite creators, communities and friends. Communication can be private or take place in virtual communities called servers (a collection of persistent chat rooms and voice channels which can be accessed via invite links) Read on to learn all about it:What is it? Brands use Discord: Who is this best for? How do I get started? What data is collected? What’s the Value? For PR/Comms Pros: For Marketing Pros: For Research & insights Pros: Learn more in the Help Center What is it?Brands use Discord:as a centralized hub to connect organically with their fans as the go-to space to collaborate with fans specifically on their upcoming product launch as a place to provide additional benefits for paying members such as: early access exclusive content  invites to private events Discord has always been focused primarily on gaming. Discord CEO Jason Citron calls it a service that “helps people deepen their friendships around games and shared interests.” Who is this best for?Radarly users who want to keep a close eye on conversations happening on their own servers!The largest communities on Discord are Gaming (20k+ servers) and Entertainment (11k+), while Education, Science & Tech, and Music are growing communities (~2k servers).Many of these servers have been around for years, and amassed many members. Traditionally, these have been managed outside of social media monitoring and analytics platforms, and all data needed to be manually reviewed, managed, and added to reports by analysts. With the combination of Reddit and Discord in Radarly, brands with active online communities are able to more easily understand, learn from, and report on community feedback ✨How do I get started?‼️ Note: This is currently available for a small set of clients - to gain access to the Discord integration, please reach out to help@meltwater.com to request review 🙏 Once you have confirmed that you have access, here’s how to get started:First, you’ll need to connect Discord in Radarly to start retrieving posts from your server(s). Once you’ve entered your Discord credentials, the data will start flowing in! Discord data will be displayed under the Forums source in Radarly. (Discord data will only be available in the Radarly projects where the related credentials have been entered)Note: Historical data is not available for Discord.  What data is collected?Brands will have access to all public conversations on their owned servers. Just like any regular content in Radarly, if a Discord post matches the search terms of your queries, it will appear in your project, as a Forum source.We do not have the ability to track Impressions, Estimated Reach or Engagement actions. Corpus and Author based queries are also not available for this source. What’s the Value?Discord is a huge source of customer feedback mainly for the gaming and education industries. Adding Discord as a source in Radarly allows companies in these industries to monitor conversations in their owned channels and servers, to listen directly to the Voice of the Customer. For PR/Comms Pros:Detect and monitor a crisis before it spins out of control.Brands involved in Discord strive to make safe and fun spaces but things aren’t always perfect - engaged communities may raise their concerns directly in a verified Discord channel and most (if not all) gaming companies have a trust and safety-focused team, supporting both public relations and player experience teams. For Marketing Pros: Listen to how your community speaks, find exciting user generated content, and detect active brand advocates.Marketers who drive collaboration and sponsorship efforts can learn which brands their players wish to see in their games (for example, tricking out your football-playing car in Rocket League to look straight out of Super Mario Bros) For Research & insights Pros:Quickly quantify feedback, investigate topics across many languages, and analyze emerging trends.Many gaming companies have user experience teams and community managers that monitor discussions on platforms like Discord and Reddit. They need to report on conversation changes, the impact of their work, and identify opportunities for in-game experience and merchandise, and this integration will help make that easier for them! Learn more in the Help CenterSetup: Radarly: Connect Your Social Accounts Boolean Operators: Learning Boolean Operators in Radarly
