Sprinklr Social Updates

Navigate to a specific Sprinklr Social area: AdvocacyAsset ManagerPublisherEngagement Dashboards | GovernanceReporting | Distributed

Advocacy

Advocacy | Ability to Add SSO as a Screener Question

With SSO setup, your employees are able to access advocacy platforms, but as a brand, there is no way for you to own user categorization that drives content visibility. So if you want to classify users into certain content categories, there is no way to do so. Going forward, you will now be able to categorize advocacy users through SSO assertions.

Admin Console | Ability to Configure Cookie Notification in Advocacy Site

Admins can now configure cookie consents in an advocacy site. Within the overview tab of the admin console, the text in the cookie consent is only configurable by the admin of the site. Sprinklr also provides localization for the cookie consents. Additionally, if you wish, you can add a button that will be available for the external link to read about cookies.

v.16.2_Cookies.png

Admin Console | Ability to Configure Share Prompt Message in Advocacy Site

Within the content tab of the admin console, admins can now check/uncheck the Share Prompt Message. In case, if you checked the Show Share Prompt box and didn't write a message within the Share Prompt Message box then the default message will be shown. Additionally, translation is visible only if the Show Share Prompt box is checked and the message is converted in the Localization tab.

Asset Manager

Asset Management | Renaming Social Asset Manager(SAM) as Digital Asset Manager(DAM) across the Sprinklr platform

We have rebranded Social Asset Management(SAM) as Digital Asset Management(DAM) across the Sprinklr platform and shall be visible across all entities - Engagement Dashboards, Reporting Dashboards, Rules, Macros etc.

In order to make Reporting module consistent with the re-branding process of Digital Asset Manager(Earlier Social Asset Manager, i.e.  SAM), we have re-named all standard references of Social Asset Manager(SAM) to Digital Asset Manager i.e. DAM in reporting. To effect this change, we should expect update at:
Widget Builder:

  • Data Source - SAM is renamed to DAM

  • Metric Section - Now it shows DAM, not SAM

All the measurements and Dimensions which had SAM earlier, would now show DAM instead.
Please note, this naming convention in Reporting would impact the UI name only. All the existing Reports and Dashboards,  with SAM metrics used would have the change by itself. There is no manual intervention required.

Asset Manager | Ability to Convert Text Assets to Canned Response via Macros

You can now convert any Text Asset to Canned Response in the Asset Manage using macros. In this way, you will be able to bulk convert multiple text assets as the canned response. Similarly, if you wish you can bulk convert multiple canned responses as a text asset. Thus, Asset Macros allow you to create efficient Asset Manager Asset workflows, taking multiple actions on an Asset at once.

MediaValet | Enhancement to MediaValet Integration

Sprinklr will now pass asset usage activity to MediaValet for any assets imported from MediaValet and used in Sprinklr. The asset usage activity is not shared with MediaValet for monitoring data, but to view how the asset was used in outgoing posts.

Asset Manager | Support for the Default Value of Delete all Posts on Expire

By default, now the option to Delete All Posts Associated to this Asset Upon the Expiry of Asset be auto-selected for all assets on the Edit Asset window.

The default value of delete all posts associated with this asset upon the expiry of the asset will be controlled by a dynamic property.

v.16.2_AssetManager.png

Asset Manager | Support for Config Admin Permission for Assets

With the addition of Config Admin permission in Digital Asset Manager, you can now access all the assets and boards. Previously there was no governance for Digital Asset Manager and if an asset is not shared with a user, they can never find it even if they are super admins. 
v16.2_ModernEngagement_AssetManager_AM2.png

Asset Management | Support for Duration Filter in Digital Asset Management

We are now supporting a Duration filter in Digital Asset Management which allows you to choose which type of date (Created date, published date, etc.) you want to filter assets on. Now you can filter assets based on all the date types available in sort option.

Asset Management | Support for Digital Asset Management Rules for Asset Updation 

We are now introducing digital asset management rules for asset updation that helps in automating the management of any asset which has been modified or updated. Hence, DAM rules will be triggered when an asset is updated and it won’t be restricted only to asset creation.

Publisher | Ability to Choose who can Reply on your Tweets

When you publish a new Tweet, you can now choose who will be able to reply to it. You’ll see a default setting of Everyone can reply. Updating this prior to posting your Tweet allows you to choose who can reply to you.

Publisher_WhoCanReply.png


Publisher | Right Alignment for Right to Left (RTL) Languages in Preview

While publishing content for languages that read from Right to Left (RTL) such as Arabic, you will now find the preview for that content aligned to the right to follow the punctuation rules in that language. Previously, when you published mixed content (English/Arabic), the alignment would get jumbled up and hamper the user experience.
v16.2_ModernEngagement_Publisher_RightAlignmentRTLLang.png

Publisher | Ability to Automatically Optimize Videos for Publishing

Sprinklr will now automatically optimize videos for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn before publishing them. Your uploaded video will be optimized for the following parameters:

  • Frame Rate, Bit Rate and Video Codec

  • Audio Channel, Audio Code and Audio Sample Rate

  • File Format and Size

Publisher | Support of ProRes Format in Sprinklr

While publishing a video or adding a video in an asset manager, we now support ProRes format videos. Thus, you are no longer required to convert your video, if you wish to upload a ProRes format video in Sprinklr. Additionally, please note that if any social media channel does not support the ProRes format, then your post will not publish.

Reporting Dashboards | Introduction to Reporting Home

As a part of Sprinklr’s new design language, Hyperspace, we have redesigned the reporting dashboard headers to focus on simplicity, consistency, and a better affordance for most used actions.

The header changes will be reflected in the Reporting Dashboard Home Page and Reporting Dashboards (both standard and custom).
v16.2_ModernEngagement_Reporting_NewHeaders22.png

Reporting | Ability to Filter Reporting Dashboards for a given Text.

Within Reporting Dashboards, we can now filter dashboards based on Text on all the widgets based on Outbound post and Inbound message only, using the Message Text option available in the Filter bar. Also, a new dimension Message Text is introduced for text search at Widget level using data source Social Analytics & Inbound Analytics. Since the scope of the capability is to make the Text search option available for the Outbound post and Inbound message only, this would not be applicable to other types of reports, for example: Case Reports, Macro Reports etc.

Note

  1. It's not the same as Keyword List/Keyword Query in Listening and hence does not allow using either AND, OR operators or filtering on multiple texts at a time.

  2. The capability can be enabled on a request, not available by default.

Reporting | Ability to View All Data Points on Y and X-axis

Previously, when you exported a Reporting Dashboard, the export rendered the dashboard to fit the Page. For this reason, for widgets that could not accommodate all the data points in widget width, the data points on the X-Axis/Y axis would get cut off in exports, while those appear fine on the platform due to the available range slider.

To solve this, Sprinklr has now introduced a new Export Widget View under Advanced Export which allows you to select to show all data points on the Y/X-axis in an export file. Note that this Widget View in Export applies to widgets with Range Slider on either Y or X-axis for a PDF or PNG or PPT export type.

Reporting | Adobe Analytics API Migration

In April 2021, the Adobe Analytics Legacy API services will reach their end-of-life and will be shut down. Any current integration built using these services will stop working. We request all the customers leveraging Adobe analytics based on the Legacy API version to raise support requests to migrate over to Newer Version 2.0 as soon as possible. For more information, see Adobe Analytics API Migration.

Reporting | Ability to View Reporting for YouTube Channel Views Percentage By Demographics

To help you better understand the performance of your posts on YouTube, Sprinklr has added new metrics that make data comparison within Reporting Insights more relevant.

Metrics
Description
YouTube Channel Views Percentage By Demographics

This is a metric provided via the YouTube API. It is the percentage of views by Demographics on the Youtube Channel.

Reporting | Ability to Sort Case ID Dimension within Reporting Dashboards

You will now be able to sort Case ID dimension in ascending and descending order. With the ability to sort by Case IDs, you will be able to view Case IDs that are the same in the grouped order.

Reporting | Ability to Grab Data for 60 Days using Twitter Quoted Tweets (Engagement)

You can now use the Twitter Quote Tweets (Engagement) metric to fetch data for 60 days. This metric fetches the count of how many times a tweet was quoted (retweet with comment). Previously, you could only fetch this data for 7 days with the help of Twitter Quote Tweets and Twitter Quote Tweets (Insights) metrics.
v16.2_ModernEngagement_Reporting_TwitterQuote4.png

Reporting | Support for Profile Lists in Inbound Analytics

You can now use the following Profile Lists dimensions in Inbound Analytics:

  • Global Profile List- It refers to the global profile list. 

  • Client Profile List- It refers to the profile list of a client.

v16.2_ModernEngagement_REporting_ProfileList2.png

Reporting | Reporting on Facebook 60 second Video Views and Post Engaged Fans

We now support Facebook Video Views (Viewed for 60 seconds or more) and Facebook Post Engaged Fan in Reporting. This will enhance Post Video Reporting capability for longer videos. With the Post Engaged Fan metric, you will be able to report on the fans who like your Facebook Page and have engaged with your post through likes, comments, or shares.
v16.2_ModernEngagement_Reporting_FacebookEndPointIntegratin.png

Reporting | Enhanced Widget Configuration in Widgets

You can now include data-points in Trend visualizations with records having no-values as zero-valued points. This will enhance the accuracy of trend widgets. For this, select Include Data Points with No Value in the widget configuration which would then show no-value records as well in your widget for the selected time period. These values will be skipped if you do not select this configuration.
