Social Inbox

Similar to an email inbox, Engages Social Inbox consolidates direct social communications in one place. Companies can immediately see social conversations they need to address, such as Twitter @-mentions or replies and direct messages, and Facebook page wall posts and comments. With Social Inbox, users can immediately respond to these communications, share them with others, or assign them to others for follow-up. Engage puts all direct conversations in one place for immediate prioritization and enables users to sort communication by date, author, rank or impressions.

Engages Social Profiles provide a 360-degree view of each individual on a companys radar, including personal brand sentiment scores and details, engagement and communications history, external social profile, profile analysis and recent posts, and a custom social rating provided by Engages Jitterater technology. Social Profiles also gives companies insight into alternate social identities, linkage to the people they interact with the most, and custom tagging and segmentation.

With Engage, a company can quickly connect with a customer, including sending an @ reply to a tweet, a direct message to a Twitter follower, or a response to a Facebook page comment.
