Using the Universal Posts in the Inbox

In the Conversations Inbox, you could already view owned posts linked to a comment or reply in an inbox-style format. Now, with Universal Posts, clicking Post Details opens a pop-up showing how the post appears on social media, along with its history, notes, and tags.

From this pop-up, you can switch to the Measure Analytics subtab to quickly view post performance data—without needing to navigate separately to Measure or Publish.

Note: Post details are only available for comments, replies, and brand posts. They are not available for direct messages, visitor posts, or Google Business reviews, as these types of engagements are not linked to an owned post.

Follow these steps to use the Universal Posts:

  1. Click the Engage drop-down in the left-hand navigation bar

  2. Select Conversations

  3. Click on a comment, reply, or brand post in your inbox

  4. Click View post details

  5. The Universal Post pop-up will appear. Here you can:

    1. Preview how the post looks on social media.

    2. View its internal post history and add notes and tags.

    3. Switch to the Measure Analytics tab to see performance metrics.

    Note: If the owned post was published using the cross-channel post function (scheduled across multiple profiles), the posts will appear in this order in the Universal Post view:

    • Facebook

    • Instagram

    • LinkedIn

    • TikTok

    • X

    • YouTube
