Engagement and Community Management

See the Community Management page for general instructions on engaging with posts. Sprinklr enables responding to inbound LinkedIn messages, posts and replies from Engagement dashboards. See below for some platform-specific features with regard to community management.

Engagement Capabilities

The following actions appear in the engagement menu on a message in the engagement dashboard:

  • Comment
  • Post This
  • Archive
  • React
  • Translate (if not English)

Opening the message in the Third Pane view allows users to access the profile information for the message author. This information includes:

  • Message sender’s profile — including photo, profile information, properties and comments
  • Conversations — messages between this user and MSU-related accounts connected to Sprinklr
  • Recent updates — posts by this account
  • Follow/unfollow
  • Audit trail — changes made to the profile record in Sprinklr

Publishing to LinkedIn

See the Social Publishing page for general instructions on creating and publishing posts. The information below contains additional details relevant specifically to LinkedIn content. Users also can review the Sprinklr Knowledge Portal articles indexed at “Publish on LinkedIn” for additional information.

Creating LinkedIn Posts

There are a few additional features and details to note when creating a LinkedIn post using the Create Post panel. Users also can review the Sprinklr Knowledge Portal article “Publishing on LinkedIn” for additional information.

The post section allows users to add a message, photo(s) or video. 
Users also can click “Insert” in the message post to add custom links, content placeholders, a YouTube video, link or text template.

Note: Profile accounts do not have the ability to publish a video in Sprinklr. SRT captions and custom thumbnails cannot be added to videos and alt text cannot be added to photos due to application programming interface (API) limitations.

For images, including GIFs, be sure to add appropriate alt text. This descriptive text is used by screen readers to assist those who are unable to see the image. Alt text is also helpful for search optimization.

To add alt text, choose the specific LinkedIn account from the channel selection bar. Scroll down to the image section and add alt text for each image. This must be repeated for each individual image and account. The alt text fields will not appear when the global “all accounts” option is selected because alt text is not available on all channels via Sprinklr. This is due to API restrictions. 

To tag a page, type @ and then begin typing the LinkedIn company account name. Choose the name from the drop-down list of potential matches that appears, then continue typing the message. 

Click the Emoji Picker icon to insert an emoji in the message.

Sprinklr allows for targeting audience members on LinkedIn posts. 
See the Sprinklr Knowledge Portal section “To Perform LinkedIn Share Targeting” in the “Publish to LinkedIn” article for information on what these limitations mean for the audience.
