As a result, discover saved time and effort in your daily media monitoring.

Capture conversations, trending themes and landed coverage. Add people to lists (contacts or authors) directly from Monitor, by using the Mini-Profiles.

Meltwater is bringing more engagement data to our customers with the new Twitter Views and Media Views features from Twitter! Twitter Views are now available in the Explore content stream, as well as the Content Analysis Card, Monitor, Media Relations, Communities, and Analyze!

Twitter View counts, also known as ‘Impressions’, show the total number of times a Tweet has been viewed, and Media Views reflects the number of times media (attached image or video) has been viewed within a Tweet. We also expanded your exposure to Reddit metrics, adding number of reactions, threads, & Reddit score.

In 2023, the Meltwater Product teams are focused on making it easier for you to create searches with relevant results. As such, we're excited to announce two new filter types to make your lives easier and your searches better: 'Media format' and 'Outlet type.'

The Media format subfilter allows you to include or exclude search results by specific news media format - Online and Print. *Meltwater has partnerships with select content providers that offer access to print media. Access to this content is offered as add-on package. The 'Media format' lets you isolate print media when you have the add-on.

The Outlet Type subfilter lets you include or exclude news media results by specific categories - press releases, trade publications, stock market news, and more. The subfilter works at the publisher level, classifying outlets according to the type of news media they mainly publish. For example, Marketwatch.com and all its published content fall in the Stock Market News category. 

The content stream on the Overview tab in Explore & Explore for MI has been upgraded to the universal Meltwater design for content cards. The new experience supports the filtered mentions side pop-out and the Content Analysis Card.

You will also find new displays for source types and custom categories, a compact view option, and new options for sharing and opening in a new tab.

Save time by creating news source filter lists in bulk! You can now paste up to 2000 URLs at a time when filtering for News by source! Quickly copy/paste your comma-separated list of URLs to search all sites at once.

The ‘By source’ filter lets you segment & surface search results according to a set of user-specified news sources. However, the source list may be quite large depending on your criteria.

Previously, each source would need to be entered and manually sorted one by one. Now, you can save time by sourcing up to 2000 URLs at once, freeing you up to quickly get back to analyzing results.

Alert subscriptions enables you to stay on top of mentions, spikes in coverage, sentiment changes, and other alert offerings.

Alerts are now available on the Homepage via a module that shows the newest content, located below the More from Meltwater promo card.

Alerts have also been elevated to a primary location in the left hand navigation panel, now located below Reports.

Klear has launched the ability to save answers gathered during influencer recruitment (from information requested in Recruit and campaign briefs) and assign them as custom variables within influencer profiles.

Klear has released a series of updates that improve functionality to more easily surface and compare relevant data when vetting influencers and then measuring campaigns.

Filter Using Multiple Tags in Profiles: You can now filter influencers using more than one tag in Profiles to vet across categories for campaigns. You can filter for either “Any Selected Tags” or “All Selected Tags”.

Sponsored Engagement Rate: There is a new Instagram metric available to view the “Sponsored Content” specific engagement rate for influencers.
Filter Using Multiple Tags in Measure: Filter subsets of influencers using tags in Measure to easily compare campaign results across groups and gain insights on performance.

Tracking Links With Customer Parameters: There is a new UTM builder in Connect to make the process of creating tracking links easier and offer more flexibility for cohesive reporting.

Weekly Campaign Email: Klear has revamped the campaign summary email to feature a new layout and include more robust stats for brands to have the most relevant campaign information summarized.
More about Klear

We are excited to launch a monitoring product release bundle, featuring three new features:

‘Since last viewed’ date picker: A new date picker option which displays only the content from the last time that you viewed a particular search, tag, RSS feed, or saved View in Monitor.

‘ Favorite ’ Pin: Now you can designate any search, tag, RSS feed or saved monitoring view as a “favorite,” pinning that item to the top of Monitor’s drop-down menu.

Mini Profiles - Media Relations Contacts & Twitter Authors: You can easily retrieve important information about authors directly from the content stream. By clicking on the name of journalists in our contact database and Twitter authors, you will get the highlights about that author.
How it works

You will now have additional options to adjust the sorting of your daily digest to better fit your monitoring responsibilities!

Users can now sort content in the Daily Digest, by selecting any of the new five different parameters/values with the option to sort the order ascending or descending to help surface the most impactful content first. For example, sorting by Reach can help surface the most impactful content from larger publications first.

With more customizable Daily Digests, you will be able to create relevant, accurate, and actionable reports.

Now available: 7 new subfilters for Twitter results in Explore.
When filtering by source type in Explore, users now have the option to go beyond just selecting Twitter, with 7 new criteria options.
Filter account by: Status, Followers, Gender.

Track your community management team performance with a new dashboard in Analyze.

The Team Performance template in Analyze is a brand new dashboard allowing you to easily track, measure, and trend your team actions in Conversations within Engage. This dashboard features data for all conversations actions, across all connected social channels. This dashboard features 10 visualizations, including a section by team member.
How it works

All operator fields will now be highlighted in orange, making it easier for users to distinguish between the search terms and the search operators. This update enhances the readability of the search, for more efficient writing, managing, troubleshooting, and understanding of queries.

Previously, when influencers didn’t authenticate their Instagram account to Klear, the only way to report about the results of their Instagram Stories was for the brand to manually add those to the campaigns. This meant the influencers had to take screenshots and send those to the brand, who then had to upload these manually to Klear, one by one.

To make this process easier for both the influencers and the brand, Klear now offers a way for non authenticated influencers to upload Instagram Stories directly to the campaign they were invited to.

Users can now add assets (images, videos, and GIFs) to comments and replies via Conversations in Engage!

Upload directly from your computer, pull from the asset library, or use one of the built-in integrations to add images, videos, or gifs directly to fan comments and replies for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Using the Add asset option in conversations, you can now include pre-approved, on-brand media in your responses.

Now, you can search Facebook Reel results using "attachmentType:reel" in Explore. Advanced search for customers with a connected Facebook account. Short-form videos are increasingly popular: Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook now offers the same functionality.

Users can now edit the text for scheduled posts in Publish via the Engage mobile app!

Edit and approve on the go! Content approvers can now edit the text of a post before approval. Previously, they would need to reject these posts and have them resubmitted.

This is also the first step to allow for full publish creation via the mobile app.

While the ability to receive AI-powered alerts on events for defined companies has been available, it is difficult to drill into these events for more context, requiring overly complex Boolean queries.

Now, with Boolean support, segmentation, and exploration of events have never been easier.

This allows for much more complex use cases and provides exploratory research capabilities that enable customers to get to insights faster.

The number of Communities available for display via the Topic Wheel in the Overview tab has increased from 20 to 2,000! For example, users can now go beyond common (generic) communities like ‘Sports’ and drill into more niche sub-communities such as ‘Golf’, ‘Martial Arts’, and ‘Racquet Sports’. Additionally, search, pagination, and sorting have been added to the Communities home screen table, making it easier to find the report you are looking for. Pagination means we segment the results across multiple pages. Lastly, mini-profiles now support Tiktok and YouTube.

DiscoveryBETA is Linkfluence's brand new AI-based Insight Assistant. It’s a new technology that automatically detects, explains and surfaces unusual changes and shifts within a workspace data set to help our users discover potentially important insights.

Filtered mentions is a new ‘in context’ view that allows a user to quickly view the mentions for any metric, without altering their search results via boolean, filters, or refreshing. Filtered mentions are available within the Topic Analysis tab of Explore. 

Often, when conducting exploratory research, you find a spike, dip, interesting word, etc., that interests you and you want to dive a little deeper into. However, you don’t want to have to alter your boolean or filters just to be able to. Now, with Filtered mentions, you can uncover the mentions driving these metrics, with a single click.

The Content Analysis Card helps users qualify and identify relevant content faster by surfacing the top entities, entity-level sentiment, author profile, and Twitter engagement in one consolidated view. Hover over the analytics icon on an editorial article or social post found in the content stream to access the Content Analysis Card. The content stream can be found in Monitor, topic analysis, Dashboards, or Communities. Read more

New filters for every tab in Communities! We are excited to introduce filters for age, gender, location, and influence tier. All new filters are present on each of the three tabs in Communities: Overview, Communities, and Authors. Since its launch in June 2022, Communities has offered a deeper look into the authors and user communities driving the conversations behind topics. Today, with filters, it’s now possible to drill even further into the data and its sub-communities.

Save time and be informed of the key insights for your current searches without leaving the Monitor app. ‘Create alerts’ under the Create button at the top navigation bar allows users to set up various alerts based on their account’s entitlements. Alerts allow for passive media monitoring and for sharing key insights with others. 

‘PDF download’ is now an option under export content. You have the ability to download a PDF of the coverage you’ve selected.
How it works

By sharing trackable links with influencers, you are able to view real-time insights on link performance, for a complete picture of the customer journey.

Previously, this was done by creating a unique tracking link, per influencer, and sharing it with them directly. Not anymore. Today, you share tracking links with multiple influencers at a time. They each receive a unique tracking link specific only to them, with a customized ID and UTM tags. This means what was once a very manual and time-consuming process, is now quick and automatic!
How it works

Announcing a new usability improvement for Explore users. The Location filter in Explore and Explore for MI have been updated to include a new Select All option. For clients that want to include several countries, or to simply exclude a few countries, it is faster to be able to select all, and then deselect the countries they wish to exclude from their results.

In addition to selecting specific products during product gifting, Klear users now have the ability to also select from store collections. Instead of needing to select every individual product for a campaign, save time by selecting all products in a Shopify collection at once.

While follower count is a useful metric for social influencer campaigns, higher maturity rate customers asked for the ability to calculate reach. Reach is the ratio of total engagements divided by the number of users who actually saw it. While we recommend using Reach to calculate Engagement Rate, one size does not fit all. Some still prefer to calculate engagement rate using followers. That is why we’ve placed the power to choose in your hands. Simply go to your account settings and switch to the Reporting tab, and under Engagement Rate, select either Followers or Reach.

Measure a specific subset of your campaign by network, media type, or influencer tag.

With the new Filter option in the measure tab of a campaign, you can now look more granularly, allowing for measurement within a subset of your overall campaign data. When paired with macro data, an easy way to look at microdata offers a more well-rounded view of your campaign. Filters include social network, media type, and influencer tag.

Receive Meltwater Smart Alerts in the collaboration tools where you already conduct business.

A webhook in web development is how one app can send an automated message to another app. In this instance, it allows Meltwater to send Smart Alerts to other apps. Using an automation platform such as Zapier, Make, or IFTT (If This Then That), a user can connect to Discord, Google Chat, WhatsApp Business API, and many more!

By enabling this integration right from within Meltwater, our customers can now receive automated, AI-powered alerts sent directly to their preferred channels. Having a centralized channel with all Alerts flowing in will allow teams to better collaborate and act on business-critical news, market shifts/trends, and competitive intelligence.

Now you can add up to 5 inputs per stream, allowing you to consume more content than ever before and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

How it works

When conducting a new search for Instagram or TikTok, you now have the ability to filter by language. The language filter analyzes the text of the content an influencer has published and identifies the language they most often use. Currently, we can identify and categorize the following languages: English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian. 

• Finding the right influencers that speak the language you need
• Connect authentically with consumers in their native language
• Expand to new markets and reach new cohorts

In order to capture a more comprehensive global coverage, Linkfluence now offers access to Bilbili data via our Radarly consumer insights platform, along with a comprehensive range of other leading Asian social media platforms. You have access to Bilibili’s posts and authors, and can specifically manipulate Bilibili data using our filters, if you need to go deeper in the analysis of this platform. 

As China becomes an increasingly important market for Western brands, it’s critical to gain a deep understanding of Chinese consumers, and by adding Bilibili data to our platform, we’re making it easier than ever to gain that insight.

Meltwater is upgrading all Search customers to Explore for Media Intelligence, an all-in-one experience for building multi-channel searches, refining and capturing accurate results, and briefing stakeholders with readymade reports.

A new widget, Engagement Trend by Source Type, has been added to the Analytics tab in Explore.  Engagement Trend by Source Type displays the number of engagements per day, broken down by each social source.

When the widget is clicked, filters for source type and date selected are applied.
Content analytics helps you determine whether there's a fit between what a journalist has recently been writing about and your key messages and campaign objectives.
How it works

Clicking an author on any tab in communities will now open a new mini-profile slide out, which includes new profile and follower info, powered by Klear and Linkfluence.
Now, you can more easily identify influencer and key opinion leaders to gather a more complete picture of their social media presence and identify partnership opportunities.

Two new widgets have been added to Explore and Communities: Top Author Locations and Top Occupations. Both widgets infer data about authors from their Twitter bio. You can find these new widgets on the Authors tab in Explore, and the Overview tab in Communities. Both are included in CSV exports and shareable dashboards.

Also, you can now sort the Authors tab in Communities, by Followers, Following, and Tweets. How it works

Saved Filter sets and Custom Categories are now available as selectable inputs for Combined search in Explore and Explore for MI!

When building/editing a Combined search, users will now be able to select from their saved Filter sets, as well as saved Custom Categories. They can be used in all three boolean boxes. How it works

Engagement data will now appear on results in the content stream for TikTok, Twitch, Pinterest, Weibo, Wechat, Little Red Book, and Douyin! Engagement metrics on results provide additional context for how relevant a result might be to a search. For example, looking at all TikTok results mentioning my brand vs just results with over 1000 views, as results with over 1000 views might hold more weight, vs a TikTok with only 10 views.
