Social inbox

Answer in brief

A single list of the comments and direct messages arriving on several social accounts, answered from one place.

What “Social inbox” means

A social inbox handles what happens after publishing. It collects the responses a post draws, so nobody has to open each platform's app in turn. It is a separate part from the scheduler, and many schedulers do not include one. Products that do vary in which platforms feed the inbox and in whether they only collect messages or also help write the answers.

Linkme gives Link AI a Social Inbox as part of its customer care role, where DMs and comments are answered. Its example is a question, 'How do I get a table for Friday?', met with a reply that carries the right link. The replies are drafted by Link AI, and a person approves them. See replies after scheduled posts.
