Explore: Case-Sensitive Operator

Explore

The Case Sensitive Operator lets users search using specific casing (uppercase, lowercase, or a mix). This helps users find mentions of the brand Apple amongst all the mentions of the term “apple”. 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 more organized and specific syntax. 

June 2024

Klear: Track Instagram Stories From Unauthenticated Influencers

Klear

Klearwater customers (with both Klear + Engage) can now leverage owned connections in Engage to track and report on Instagram Stories from unauthenticated influencers in their Klear campaigns. This new workflow saves time and resources spent live monitoring Instagram accounts and chasing down files from influencers, removes barriers to work with more influencers, and helps capture metrics for IG Stories like post count, reach, and EMV for more comprehensive campaign reporting.

Klear: Product Gifting For Any Influencer

Klear

Send a gift to any influencer in your campaigns without sending a campaign invite or requiring them to create a Klear account. Engage more influencers and speed up your process with less back and forth. This is especially helpful for campaigns focused on product gifting where you don’t need to send influencers other campaign assets through Klear like agreements, tracking links, and more. This option is only available for customers with a Shopify integration.

Monitor: Autorefresh

Monitor

Automatically load the newest mentions in Monitor at a chosen interval. Stay in your existing monitoring view, keep your context in the stream, and be informed of emerging articles and posts marked. When the stream of results refreshes, your view will no longer get pushed to the top of the stream. We built these updates to make it easier to remain in context and continue working in Monitor without additional load times.

Analyze: Schedule Reports

Analyze

Schedule your Dashboard to be sent to you at a preferred interval. Discover it in your inbox weekly or monthly. Educate & Inform Stakeholders with ease: Responsible for reporting to stakeholders?

We will store historical data indefinitely across Conversations, Publish, and Measure (as long as the customer remains with us). *This will continue to be 15 months for X/Twitter replies and mentions.

Meltwater

Selecting multiple pieces of content is usually followed by common actions: tagging, exporting, sharing, or updating the sentiment. When selecting multiple pieces of content in Explore or Analyze for further action like tagging or exporting, you can save your selection instead of being prompted each time you bulk select. As a result, discover saved time and effort in your daily media monitoring.
