Listen

Share Reports

You can now share Listen dashboards with both internal and external stakeholders using a password-protected URL, no login required. The shared dashboard reflects a snapshot of the data at the time of creation, and you can update the report while keeping the same link. You can also add contextual notes to guide your recipients and provide additional insights.

Share insights easily with a secure, password-protected link. Reports are designed to ensure everyone sees the same data, while notes add helpful context. Ideal for sharing with clients, execs, or teams outside your Listen workspace.

Measure

Improved Visibility Filter

We have updated the Visibility filter to give you more precise control over which posts appear in your widgets.

What's changed:

  • Posts with no exposure (zero impressions or views) are now hidden by default across all widgets.
  • A new ‘No exposure filter’ lets you view these posts if needed (usually unpublished or duplicate content).

We’ve updated these filter options:

  • Timeline – Posts visible in the public page feed
  • Dark – Hidden posts (used in paid/targeted campaigns)
  • No Exposure – Posts with no impressions or views
  • Default – By default, Measure now shows only posts with exposure (at least one impression or view), whether dark or timeline.

These filter updates improve your reporting by enabling you to exclude irrelevant posts from your analysis.

Influence

Changes to Instagram Metrics

Instagram has deprecated the “Impressions” metric and introduced “Views” as the new standard. To reflect this change and improve clarity, “Views” is now the primary awareness metric across IG Influence in CRM and Campaigns.
