Allow external social networks posts to be associated with a Campaign

Chhriis

The Hubspot tool for posting on social networks is not compliant with good community management practices. Unfortunately, by posting directly to social media, it is not possible to associate our posts to a Campaign.

 

It would be very useful.

 

Does anyone else feel the same?

Hi everyone! I'm happy to share that you can now associate external social posts to Campaigns in HubSpot. You can read more about doing so in our KB. I hope this is helpful. 😊

This needs to be done. There are some things native post creation can do that HubSpot cannot, but our social media posts created outside of the HubSpot tool are still important and relevant.

Agreed. Mentions and Calendar View also need to be enabled for external posts. It's strange that list view works fine but if you go to Calendar View, your external posts suddenly can't be viewed. A view change should not eliminate functionality.

We need this ASAP. For this idea to be generated in 2021, and we are wrapping up 2024 as I write, this should be concerning. Especially now that HubSpot won't allow you to schedule reels on Facebook or Instagram, this functionality stands to benefit everyone and lessen the development load for all the posting capabilities/functions on each platform.

Just encountered this issue with a major client. The button is there but you sure can't connect to the campaign because their third party marketing company publishes to LinkedIn.  Seems like this should be a given.
