Social Inbox
Manage all your social media messages, comments, and mentions in one place.
What You Can Do
The Social Inbox brings everything together so you don't have to switch between apps:
- Read and reply to DMs - Direct messages from your followers
- Respond to comments - Comments on your posts
- See who mentioned you - When someone tags your account
- Track story mentions - When someone mentions you in their story
- View engagement - Likes and shares on your content
Getting Started
Click Inbox in the sidebar to open it. You'll see a badge showing how many unread messages you have.
Supported Platforms
Right now, the inbox works with:
- Instagram - DMs, comments, mentions, and story mentions
- Facebook - Messages, comments, and mentions
We're adding more platforms soon!
Filtering Your Messages
By Type
Use the filter buttons at the top to focus on what matters:
- All messages
- Just DMs
- Just comments
- Just mentions
- Story mentions only
By Platform
You can also filter by platform if you want to focus on Instagram or Facebook separately.
Pro tip: Combine filters to see exactly what you need - like "Instagram DMs only."
