Publish a Facebook Album (Distributed User)
Updated
From within the Sprinklr platform, you can add multiple photos to Facebook and publish as a Facebook Album. Facebook Albums help you categorize images within Facebook, organizing your images into distinct groups that can be viewed by your fans.
Publishing a Facebook Album lets you utilize this Facebook tool while taking advantage of Sprinklr's ability to report on the engagement rate of the album as a whole and by individual images.
|
Note: The Facebook album cover is set as the first photo uploaded. To set an image as the album cover, that image must be the first photo uploaded to the album. |
Before You Begin
- Due to an API limitation, you can't create a new album in the Sprinklr. You can publish an album that is already created.
- Sprinklr counts each photo in a Facebook Album as an individual post. This is because each photo added to Facebook will have a different set of engagements;
- Additionally, the album itself will have its own set of engagements.
- Separate entities are shown in the Editorial Calendar.
- The reporting data is calculated separately to give the best insight into the album's complete performance as well as the engagement data on individual images.
