How do I integrate a social media monitoring platform into my workflow?

February 17, 2018

Written by Glossary Author

Generally, social media monitoring platforms are designed to be highly intuitive, and to provide relevant actionable insights fast. Most of the best social media monitoring platforms are highly customisable browser-based tools which allow users to decide what to analyse, separating useful information from the noise of the social web.

To get the most use out of social media monitoring platforms, it’s important to understand how your team can most effectively make use of the tools. Some platforms offer features such as email alerts, extremely important if speed and reaction is the main priority. It’s also possible to monitor mentions of competitors on social media, and even predict the stories that will attract the most attention on social media on a given day.

NewsWhip’s social media monitoring platforms, Spike and Analytics, allow for real-time and historical analysis of stories, videos, posts and other content that matter to your brand. To learn more about how NewsWhip tools fit into the workflows of leading publishers, brands and agencies, check out the resources section of our website.
