Struggling to keep up with comments and direct messages across multiple platforms? The Social Inbox in Cloud Campaign is designed to help you centralize, manage, assign, and respond to social interactions all in one place—turning your engagement efforts into an organized, collaborative task list.
What Is the Social Inbox?
The Social Inbox is a central hub within the Monitor section of Cloud Campaign. It pulls in all comments and direct messages across your connected social accounts, allowing your team to:
- Reply to messages and comments
- Assign responses to team members
- Leave internal comments
- Delete or hide comments
- Mark items as completed
Think of it as a shared to-do list for managing your brand’s online conversations.
How to Access the Social Inbox
- Navigate to the left-hand menu
- Under the Monitor section, click Social Inbox
Filtering Messages and Comments
At the top of the Social Inbox, you’ll find filters to narrow down the items shown:
- Social Account Filter: Choose which connected account you want to view.
- Engagement Type Filter: Sort by messages or comments.
- Time Filter: Filter interactions by time range.
Message View Options
You can also toggle between three inbox views:
- All Messages – View every message or comment
- Assigned to Me – See only those items assigned to you
- Unassigned – See items that haven’t been assigned to anyone yet
