What New Social Media Management Features Did Agorapulse Release in 2018? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Let’s take a quick break from our planning for 2019 to reflect on the different social media management features that Agorapulse launched in 2018 that helped make managing social media easier and more efficient. Set up these categories, and make that magic happen each time you upload your content to Agorapulse. Our social media influencer friends share real-world examples of how they used these queue categories. That’s what we thought that social media managers would want— so we create the bulk upload feature. Busy social media managers wanted to “set and forget” their scheduled Instagram posts. So, when the Instagram API permitted this functionality, we do everything possible to bring this to our users. March 2018 We re-align our inbox functions to make managing your profiles’ comments, mentions, ad comments, and messages even easier. Second, we bring you a crisp inbox to manage all the comments on your profile and Company Page posts. We’ve changed the organizational roles, so Managers can also add new team members and social profiles to the organization. Find out as it happens by signing up for our Release Notes!

January 2018

We start 2018 with a game changer for social media managers — the ability to queue your posts according to publishing categories.

Users now can sort their publishing queues according to topic or type. Want all your photo posts to go out on Thursdays at 9:15am? Need your social proof tweets to publish on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays? Set up these categories, and make that magic happen each time you upload your content to Agorapulse.

Our social media influencer friends share real-world examples of how they used these queue categories.

Bulk Upload

Imagine how easy and time-saving that filling in all the queue categories with one upload of a CSV file could be. That’s what we thought that social media managers would want— so we create the bulk upload feature.

Share your filled-in CSV with your team for approval then upload it to your publishing calendar. BAM! You now have tons of preapproved content ready to publish when you tell us to do so.

Reply in Private/Direct Message

Community managers often want to take public conversations offline. (You probably can think of examples from your own experience.)

The option to reply in Private Message (Facebook) or Direct Message (Twitter) is perfect for when you want to talk to a user without the whole online world listening in. Conversely, switching to PM/DM mode allows some users to speak more openly when they know solely you are listening.

February 2018

Bulk upload content that you don’t have to create! Simply plug in the RSS feeds of your favorite blogs, podcasts, and YouTube channels, then select which content from those sources you’d like to share with your audience.

You now have an abundant amount of content in a flash.

See how Agorapulse CEO Emeric Ernoult uploaded 20 tweets in 45 seconds using RSS bulk upload:

Instagram Direct Publishing

Originally an Instagram writer for Agorapulse, I have been here for four years so far, and I can tell you that this was the number one request of my time with the company. Busy social media managers wanted to “set and forget” their scheduled Instagram posts.

So, when the Instagram API permitted this functionality, we do everything possible to bring this to our users. (We even beat some of the bigger tools out there to make Instagram direct publishing happen!)

The infrastructure of our mobile app (iOS and Android) gets an overhaul to now support a host of features we release.

(If you haven’t been on the mobile app lately, you should. We now have view-only reports in addition to our inbox, monitoring, and publishing features.)
