Socialie supports two publishing methods: publishing directly through Socialie and publishing natively on social platforms. Both methods are supported, but they behave differently in terms of tracking reliability and performance visibility.
Understanding the differences helps organizations choose the best approach for consistent reporting and operational visibility.
Platform Requirements and Limitations
Native publishing requires the social account to be linked or tracked. Platform APIs determine what data is available for detection and reporting.
Publishing Through Socialie vs. Native Publishing
How Publishing Through Socialie Works
When publishing through Socialie:
- The publisher selects content and destination platforms.
- Required fields are completed.
- Socialie sends the post directly to the platform.
- The live post is automatically linked and tracked.
How Native Publishing Works
When publishing natively:
- The post is published directly on the social platform.
- Socialie monitors linked or tracked accounts.
- The post is detected after it goes live.
- Matching and tracking begin once detection is complete.
What to Expect
Publishing through Socialie provides faster detection and more reliable tracking. Native publishing may result in delays or limited metrics.
Common Issues & Notes (FAQ)
- Native posts may require manual linking if automatic matching does not occur.
- Detection timing is platform-controlled.
When to Contact Support
Contact Support if native posts from linked accounts are never detected.
