What Types of Content Can I See in Engage?

Engage gives you the power to monitor a variety of content from your connected channels. This article will go over the types of content you can monitor in Engage feeds by social network.

Note:

The information in this article applies to the types of content supported in Engage feeds, which help you monitor content and engagement from your connected channels, rather than Listen feeds, which help you monitor mentions from your Saved Searches in Listen. To learn more about setting up Listen feeds, visit our article on Viewing Listen Feeds in Engage.


Facebook content supported in Engage

The following indexed content from connected Facebook channels can be monitored in an Engage feed:

  • Own posts on your page and post comments (dynamic ad posts are visible in the feed of the target audience)
  • Fan posts on your page and post comments
  • Dark posts
  • Reviews (inclusive of the recommendation and any text left by the reviewer) and review comments
  • Direct messages

    Note:

    Due to API limitations, we don't currently support threads from cross app (e.g. Instagram user receives message sent from a Facebook user, as a direct message to Instagram)

  • Mentions (e.g. when a page or user mentions you in a post, or when a page or user mentions you in the comment of any page post)

    Note:

    If your page is mentioned in a post created by a user (personal profile), the post will be indexed in Engage but the author will display as unknown due to limitations of Facebook’s APIs. Furthermore, only mentions in comments of page posts (rather than personal profile posts) will be indexed. If your page is mentioned in the comments of a post that was created on a personal profile, it will not be indexed.

  • Number of reactions (e.g. Like, Love, Care, Haha, Wow, Sad, and Angry) on public posts and comments
  • Comments from Facebook Live broadcasts

  • Reels and reels comments
  • Stories and story comments (delivered as direct message)

    Note:

    Instagram stories will display like typical Instagram posts in Engage and filtering by stories is not available at this time.
