Checking for new 3rd party content

Checking for 3rd party content is perhaps something you should do every day or once a week. Very much depends on how many times you post 3rd party content in your schedules.

Some systems will get content and automatically publish it. However, this functionality will add content that is not relevant, even with positive and negative keywords. We may add this function in the future if there is enough demand for it.

How to check for new content

Go to your campaigns screen and click the blue button CHECK FOR NEW CONTENT.

This will take you to the following screen:-

The Socias AI bot will tell you how it is progressing. This may take a little time depending on the speed of your connection and that of the websites you are checking. The process checks each of your RSS feeds and follows each of the links and brings all the information back to Socias. It will also check if you already have added the content to the system already.
